Titolo: Fondo' la CIA Bill Donovan o Allen Dulles?

Chi fu il fondatore della CIA? Non il primo direttore, ma il
fondatore.
Alune fonti, come Wikipedia, dicono il generale William Donovan, che
era stato a capo dell'OSS durante la guerra.
Altre fonti, come propaganda2/
wordpress.com
, dicono che fu Allen
Dulles, che era stato a capo dell'OSS in Svizzera fino alla fine della
guerra. E che nel 1953 divenne direttore della CIA.
Grazie

"To make a fully functional intelligence office, Truman signed the
National Security Act of 1947 establishing the CIA."
Sembrerebbe che a fondare la Cia fu il presidente Truman nel 1947.
