Dr. Anthony Wells (born October 13, 1943) has been President and Chief Executive Officer of TKC International LLC, a specialist technical services company supporting the US government, since May 1, 1992.〔The Navy Lists (UK) 1964-1983 (Her Majesty’s Stationery Office, London).〕 Dr. Wells is unique insofar as he is the only living person to have worked for British Intelligence as a British citizen and for US Intelligence as an American citizen.〔 He developed key relationships with sensitive parts of the US defense and intelligence community since he first served in Washington DC in the mid-1970s as a British Naval Officer. He returned to the United States permanently in the early 1980s after the Falklands Conflict to work on key programs to counter the Soviet Union and allies.() At the conclusion of the Cold War he formed a partnership on Capitol Hill with the late Honorable William L. Dickinson, former Member of the US House of Representatives from Alabama, and Ranking Member of the House Armed Services Committee and Dr. Anthony R. Battista, the key Staff member of the HASC during the high point of the Cold War and the Reagan Administration who staffed several critical special programs from the House Rayburn Building.() Dr. Wells is the third Chairman of the USS Liberty Alliance, succeeding in 2013 Rear Admiral Clarence “Mark” Hill and Admiral Thomas Moorer, a former Chief of Naval Operations and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The USS Liberty is the US Navy Spy ship that is the most highly decorated ship in the history of the US Navy in a single action. Dr. Wells was made an honorary crew member in 2013 at a special ceremony by the surviving crew members of the USS Liberty and Veterans Association to honor his work in intelligence, research, analysis, and publications regarding the June War of 1967, and support for the USS Liberty cause.() In late 2013 Wells became the first Chairman of Durham University’s North America Development Board, having served for several decades as a Vice President of the North American Foundation for the University of Durham, with both entities focused today on endowment for post graduate research studentships and fellowships at Durham for American students.() ==Early life== Wells was born near Coventry, Warwickshire, England, where his grandfather, Frederick Wells, owned the precision gear manufacturing company, Coventry Gear, that provided critical materials to the British war effort during World War Two. Wells was educated at Bablake School, Coventry, one of the UK’s oldest schools founded in 1344 by Queen Isabella, St. Cuthbert’s Society at Durham University, (BA with honors and MA degree by research), King’s College, University of London (PhD), and the London School of Economics, University of London (MSc). Wells was called to the Bar as a Barrister by Lincoln’s Inn in November, 1980. He received his basic naval training at Britannia Royal Naval College, Dartmouth, advanced training at the School of Maritime Operations, and intelligence training with the UK’s intelligence directorates. His mentors were Sir Harry Hinsley, the Bletchley Park code breaker, and Vice Chancellor of Cambridge University, Professor Sir Lawrence Martin, at King’s College, London, and Professor Bryan Ranft at the Royal Naval College, Greenwich. Wells was introduced to the special intelligence world by his mentors, and notably Hinsley through the Ultra material and Wells became unique in that he had access to ENIGMA material several years before the British government announced even the existence of ENIGMA in 1974. To this day Wells remains one of just a handful of living people knowledgeable of still hugely sensitive data that the British have not released from World War Two, particularly data relating to decisions made personally by Prime Minister Winston Churchill and President Franklin Roosevelt based on ENIGMA and US MAGICS data.
