Fascell was named to the NED's first board.[2][3] CIA whistleblower Philip Agee explained how "While the CIA had until then channeled the money through a complex network of 'conduits', the NED became a 'mega-conduit' to move the U.S. government money to the same series of NGOs that the CIA had been secretly funding."[4]
