The Central Intelligence Agency or CIA was an international intelligence branch of the United States government.

History
In 1947, the CIA retro-engineered the Nedenah spacecraft which had crashed near Roswell. As a result, in 1948, when the Nedenah came to rescue the first vessel, the CIA was able to shoot them down. Because the Americans were able to drive the them off, the Nedenah stopped trying to rescue the captured pilot. In 1970, the CIA captured the Brigadier at Roswell with the Nedenah, and destroyed England's cobalt reserves so as to thwart the Waro attack at Roswell. The Americans underestimated them, and believed that they could beat the Waro, and then, the CIA would replace UNIT. (PDA: The Devil Goblins from Neptune)

The Canavitchi planned to let the Jex attack the Earth and destroy the planet so the Jex fleet would be anihilated. The CIA had to help the Fifth Doctor, Tegan, Turlough and UNIT to arrest not only the Sons of Nostradamus, but also the Jex spearhead and their human accomplices at Intercom. They were able to to shield Earth using the satellite network, protecting it from the space battle between Jex and Canavitchi. (PDA: The King of Terror)
