HISTORY

:A U.S. Government Agency that supervised the creation of the national team of super-agents called the Force of July. Chairman of the A.S.A. was B. Eric Blairman, who didn't refrain from breaking the law to reach his odd goals of national security, including the launching of a satellite that could spy on any home in America. The Force of July repeatedly clashed with the Outsiders (II), and the Suicide Squad (II), sometimes as friends, sometimes as foes.

Blairman was later replaced as head of the A.S.A. by the even more corrupted Abraham Lincoln Carlyle, who made an attempt to use the Psycho-Pirate's Medusa Mask to get himself elected for president. This was prevented by the Outsiders and Infinity, Inc.

During the spy affair called the Janus Directive, Carlyle and most of the Force of July were killed in battle. The American Security Agency was defunct shortly afterwards.
