Lauchlin Currie
Lauchlin Bernard Currie (October 8, 1902 – December 23, 1993) was a Canadian-born U.S.economist from New Dublin, Nova Scotia, Canada, and allegedly an agent of espionage for the Soviet Union.
As a naturalized American citizen, Currie served as White House economic adviser to President Franklin Roosevelt during World War II (1939 to 1945). From 1949 to 1953, he directed a major World Bank mission to Colombia and related studies. Information from the VENONA project references him in nine partially decrypted cables. He became a Colombian citizen after the United States refused to renew his passport in 1954.
