A female Special Agent (left) is alert for threats in early 1984 as U.S. Ambassador to El Salvador Thomas Pickering (foreground) and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Jeane Kirkpatrick (right) view devastation resulting from El Salvador’s civil war. A Salvadoran Army major (rear center) briefs Pickering and Kirkpatrick. SY’s Threat Analysis Division determined the threat matrix for each post and designated some as “high threat.” Such designations enabled SY, in the early 1980s, to maximize its limited resources.
