HAIG V. AGEE
453 U.S. 280 (1981)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over the President's authority to revoke a
passport.
FACTS: 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.
