Dux states Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director William J. Casey met him at a urinal, introducing himself as "head of the fucking CIA" and recruiting him as a covert operative. Dux states Casey was his personal handler and no one else in the CIA knew he was working for the agency. Dux gives details of several missions he performed for the CIA between 1981 and 1987, including destroying a fuel depot in Nicaragua, being part of a joint CIA-KGB operation known as Delphi 9 which investigated the Sverdlovsk anthrax leak, and being the sole survivor of a five man high-altitude military parachuting team's failed attempt to destroy an Iraqi chemical weapons plant during the Iran–Iraq War.
