Question? What is the CAA?

During the announcement of Hayden for Director of CIA; Bush said three times that Porter Goss was the head of the CAA. What is the CAA?

Did Bush and company set up a secret agency we dont know about?

This photograph was taken in a nightclub in Mexico City on 22nd January, 1963. It is believed that the men in the photograph are all members of Operation 40 (the Castro assassination group). Closest to the camera on the left is Felix Rodriguez. Next to him is Porter Goss and Barry Seal. Others in the picture are Alberto 'Loco' Blanco (3rd right) and Jorgo Robreno (4th right).

There is some dispute about who attempting to hide his face with his coat. According to John Simkin ( http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk ) it is Tosh Plumlee and according Hopsicker ( http://www.madcowprod.com/ ) it is Frank Sturgis.
