Well, it was pretty common rhetoric to talk about the "special relationship" we have with the UK, but that's obviously very different.
It wouldn't be fanciful to suggest British intelligence had it's tendrils in the federal government since the civil war (to oppose France) and at least since WW2. I'd need to read up on this again to confirm the details but pretty sure the CIA was bootstrapped with support from MI6 agents who had been working with our OSS.
