A State Department spokesman, Joseph Reap, said when asked about the CBS report, “We do not com ment on alleged intelligence activities.” Citing unnamed “informed sources,’’ CBS said So viet agents secretly installed tiny sensing devices in about a dozen embassy typewriters.” “The devices picked up the contents of documents typed by embassy secretaries and transmitted them to antennas hidden in the embassy walls,” it said. “The an tennas, in turn, relayed the signals to a listening post outside the embassy.” The network said the bugged typewriters were in use from 1982 until the operation was uncovered in 1984. CBS quoted one intelligence officer as saying the po tential compromise of sensitive information should be viewed with “considerable seriousness.” “Another intelligence expert said no one knows for sure how many or what secrets were compromised,” the report said. “ A third official called the entire affair a fiasco.” The report added that intelligence specialists now believe Moscow was running an earlier version of the eavesdropping operation. An antenna discovered dur ing the cleanup after a 1978 fire at the Moscow embassy “now appears to have been part of that earlier opera tion,” CBS said. In past years, U.S. security officers assigned to Mos cow nave had to cope with a wide variety of Soviet snooping efforts targeted on the embassy. Electronic counterintelligence specialists conduct periodic sweeps of the embassy in an attempt to ferret out and eliminate bugging devices. One such sweep of the embassy’s south wing in 1979, for example, uncovered an array of sophisticated elec tronic equipment concealed in an air shaft. Kepi Texas Sen. Phil Gramm, of College Station, said Monday he is proposing reform of Defense Department spending that would lift restrictions on base closings and force his col leagues “to put their vote where their mouth is.” “If we’ve got to choose between more M-l tanks and a military base operating at 15 percent of capacity, the military base has got to go," Gramm told a news conference. There are no Texas bases on a list of 21 bases proposed for closing by Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz. Gramm said he did not know if any Texas bases would be threatened with closure under deeper cuts. “It’s clear Texas is not affected by the first 21,” Crbmm said. “In fact Texas may initially gain because of transfer of functions to Texas. “But I’m certainly not going to sit here and say that with all of these re forms that I’ve proposed, if they be come law, that they’re not going to affect Texas contractors, because they will, and that they’re not going to affect Texas bases, because they may well affect them.” Gramm said he will bring the bill up before the Senate Armed Serv ices Committee next Monday and that he expects heavy opposition. Gramm’s bill, called tne “Defense Efficiency and Economy Act,” would fine a contractor three times the amount of a disallowed claim. It would also allow the Secretary of De fense to fine a contractor 25 percent of the total contract if the contractor “repeatedly submits unallowable ex pense claims.” He said his bill would allow D0D to pay overtime on a weekly instead of daily basis and eliminate a provi sion in the law that requires defense contractors to use big-city pay scales for small-town labor. It would also lift legislative “roadblocks” to base closings, includ ing lengthy congressional review processes and environmental and economic impact statements. The measure, if adopted, would result in savings of between $5 bil lion and $10 billion in five years, Gramm said.
