Critchfield is president of Tetra Tech International, a subsidiary of Honeywell, Inc.

Known as the "Lawrence of Arabia" of Oman, Landon, who now lives in England, was the sultan's college buddy at Sandhurst. According to British intelligence sources, Shackley has a working relationship with Landon's associates and operatives.” | Timothy Landon | 24 June 1988 |
