Most likely not.  The CIA wasn't formed until 1947 and didn't start 
operations until 1948.  Even then, their focus was Europe, not the Far East 
so 90% of their initial effort was in this area.  MacArthur didn't want the 
CIA in his area so most of their limited Far East staff/operations were run 
out of Taiwan.  There also is the fact the U.S. government wanted to get 
out of Korea as quickly as possible.  For all intents and purposes, Korea 
had been written off by the Truman Administration by 1949.
