This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.

Philip Agee, an American citizen, resided in West Germany. He was employed by the CIA from 1957 to 1968 in a section that was responsible for covert intelligence. In 1974, Agee called a press conference in London to announce that he was on a campaign to fight the CIA wherever it was operating. The record before the court revealed that Agee revealed agent identities and violated his agreement and divulged classified information about CIA matters without getting prior CIA clearance. In 1979, Haig, the Secretary of State, revoked Agee's passport. Agee filed suit against the Secretary (D). The District Court held that there was no right to revoke P's passport and granted summary judgment to P. The Court of Appeals affirmed.
