What are examples of top secret projects conducted by the CIA under President Truman?

The CIA under Truman would do things like send CIA officers into the Soviet Union in balloons. They would actually float them into the Soviet Union. That's how desperate they were to find out anything about the Soviet Union, because it was a closed society. The borders were closed. The CIA also experimented with using pigeons, and even insects, to try to introduce bugs into Soviet facilities. Very rudimentary, but it shows you just how desperate they were to find out the slightest fact about the Soviets.
