Because of their legitimate reason for working in Kenya, the Chief of Station assesses and eventually recruits them to work covertly for the CIA under the {CODE NAMES} BETSY AND BABE. The CIA arranges residency next to a suspected Russian KGB operative and a Middle Easter couple with the objective of befriending and monitoring listening devises in their homes.
