The Apollo Affair
The Apollo Affair happened in the 1970s. It was a big scandal where the United States government was caught doing something very bad that involved two of its government workers.
The two government workers were named Michael P. Smith and Frederick C. Richardson. They were part of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), which is an organization that helps the president of the United States figure out important decisions.
The two men were accused of doing something bad involving a company called Apollo Supply Corporation. Apollo Supply Corporation was an American company that sold airplanes and military equipment to people around the world.
The two men were accused of giving secrets to Apollo Supply Corporation about how the U.S. government was going to use the planes and military equipment. This meant that Apollo Supply Corporation could make more money because they knew how much the U.S. government was going to pay for their equipment.
The government found out about what the two men did and brought them in for questioning. After their questioning, the two men admitted to what they did. They were both convicted and sent to prison. This was called the Apollo Affair.
The Apollo Affair was a big scandal for the U.S. government and was an example of why it's important to follow the rules and laws of the government. It showed that even people in positions of power are not above the law.
