According to a USA Today article the CIA lined up actresses for date with Jordan's King Hussein during visit to United States.
“Eager to please the young leader of a promising potential ally in the Middle East, the CIA enlisted the help of billionaire Howard Hughes’s longtime fixer to find women for Jordan’s King Hussein, according to documents recently made public.”
“A CIA memo released Dec. 15 shows how the agency used private investigator Robert Maheu, a former FBI agent, to find “female companionship” for the 23-year-old King during his trip to Los Angeles in April 1959.
The document refers only to a “foreign head of state” but the timeline included in the memo corresponds to the times Hussein was in the United States. A March 28, 1959, New York Times story laid out Hussein’s itinerary and plans to increase U.S. aid to his state.”
Hussein's budding relationship with Cabot was well known at the time, and numerous news reports mentioned that the Jewish heritage of Cabot, born Harriet Shapiro, might cause a problem for the Muslim king (but it didn’t)
"During the stay at the Long Beach site, [Cabot] discussed the publicity in the case at some length with the Security representatives," the CIA memo said. "She speculated about the possible sources of certain personal information that she felt had been leaked to the press."”
“During Roman's 1989 trial, his defense attorney Chester Leo Smith introduced evidence that showed the Cabot "received a regular sum of $1,500 a month from the Keeper of the King's Purse, Amman, Jordan. There is written indication in the handwriting of Susan Roman this money is from a trust. ... For better or worse, it looks like child support," Smith wrote.
This proves that King Hussein was paying child support to the actress, who claimed that the child said to be Michael Roman's was actually the King of Jordan's son out of wedlock. Otherwise, why would he be paying child support to the Jewish actress?
But most importantly, there, is the funding from the CIA what was it for?
The Jordanian government still receives "aid" from the USA, Canada, the EU, and more. What is this aid for?
