Rare clip of George H.W. Bush on CBS 60 Minutes being asked about the CIA & NSA listening post called 'Pine Gap'

Former Australian Prime Minister Gough Whitlam was going end the CIA occupation at the base and kick them out of Australia. As a result, Whitlam was ousted in a soft-coup. See the "The 1975 Australian Constitutional Crisis" and the telexes leaked by whistleblower Christopher Boyce about CIA interference in the Australian labor unions & election to prevent the closure of Pine Gap.
