Richard Ar mey, R-Texas, who is introducing the proposal in the House. “We will send the Soviets a diplomatic messa ge-” Sen. Steve Symms, R-Idaho, who is introducing it in the Senate, urged U.S. diplomats not to occupy new U.S. Embassy offices in Moscow. President Reagan has said the in complete offices are so laced with Soviet listening devices that he may order it destroyed. “We should never occupy that building,” Symms said. “It should be blown down and rebuilt with an American construction firm.” Armey told the news conference on the roof of a hotel across the street from the gleaming white mar ble Soviet office building, “We have evidence . . . from a variety of sources that (the Soviets) are already using the site to conduct espionage.” Asked what type of intelligence the Soviets were collecting, Armey said, “I have received convincing tes timony from a number of people,” but he declined to give specifics, and said, “I probably shouldn’t have said that. The information is classified and I probably went beyond what I should say.” Under a 1972 agreement, the So viets are not allowed to move into of fices they have constructed on Mount Alto until American diplo- “Typewriters, computer termi nals, and all kinds of electronic equipment have radio emissions,” se curity expert Tim Johnson told the news conference. “Once a radio signal is emitted, it travels forever, and all you need is equipment to collect it and break it down,” said Johnson, president of Technical Security Consultants in Chandler, Ariz. Under agreements signed in and 1972, the Soviets were all to build eight office and apartmeni buildings on Mount Alto and iht United States to construct a simihi complex next to the current US. Embassy in Moscow. “We should never occupy that building. It should be blown down and rebuilt with an American construc tion firm. ” — Sen. Steve Symms, R-Idaho mats occupy the new U.S. building in Moscow. The Soviets moved into their apartment buildings in 1979, and according to U.S. officials use them to collect radio signals. “If you rolled back the roof of that place, you would uncover a nest of antennas,” said one administration source who deals with the issue and H-rlineH to be identified by name. From the hilltop, the Soviets can look down on the Capitol, the White House, the Pentagon and other sen sitive buildings, and can intercept some microwave and radio commu nications from them, said Johnson and Stanislav Levchenko, a former Soviet KGB major who defected in 1979. Johnson and Levchenko were invited to address the news confer ence by Symms and Armey. Two presidential commissions and two State Department groups are investigating security problems at the new U.S. Embassy in Moscow. The General Accounting Office said in a report that Washington has spent $142.9 million out of $192 mil lion allocated for the project, and that the State Department is trying to collect $11.9 million from ihe Kremlin because the project is al ready five years behind schedule and way over tar get cost of $75 mil lion to $100 million. In response, the GAO said, the Soviets are demanding Si0.3 million from Washington, citing alleged "State Department unwillingness 10 carry out its contract obligations ini timely manner.” The GAO blamed most of the de lays on a Soviet government con struction firm, which has a $5M million contract.

The House voted, 218-214, to at tach the plan to a sweeping, 900- page trade bill after its sponsor, Rep. Richard A. Gephardt, D-Mo., urged lawmakers to adopt “a new way, a tougher way,” to fight the record $166 billion trade deficit and related job losses in some industries. Under Gephardt’s measure, coun tries with “excess and unwarranted” trade surpluses with the United States would be forced to eliminate them or face 10 percent annual re ductions enforced through presi- dentially decreed sanctions. Besides Japan, countries that run sufficient surpluses to be affected in clude West Germany, Taiwan, South Korea, Italy, Hong Kong and Brazil. But Hong Kong would not be liable for sanctions under the legislation, Gephardt said. “I’ve been all over this country in the last few months and I think we’re beginning to be in a state of decline,” said Gephardt, an aspirant for the presidency. “Wages are beginning to decline in this country, well-paying jobs are being lost to countries abroad.” There were loud cheers from the floor, however, when Rep. Dan Rostenkowski, D-Ill., spoke against the measure and called instead for “a bill so tough the Japanese can’t ig nore it and so fair the president has to sign it.” “Nothing gives Tokyo greater comfort than to see Congress steam ing full speed ahead with a trade bill that is aimed more at our own voters than at the Japanese,” said Rostenkowski, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. Minority Leader Robert H. Michel, R-Ill., warned that President Reagan might well veto a trade bill containing the Gephardt plan. “If it is true, as the old saying goes, that the road to hell is paved with good intentions, (then) this idn amendment is a one-wav expressway to an economic inferno for Ameri can workers,” Michel said. In a statement after the vote, Rea gan said that despite the approval, “I am pleased by the size and strength of the vote against protectionism and mandatory retaliation called for by this amendment.” He added that “the strong lead ership from those committed to free and fair trade sends a clear signal: that protectionism is not the way to resolve our trade imbalance. As this bill continues to move through Con gress, we will work with them to craft a bill that will not . . . ignite a series of trade wars.” But AFL-CIO President Lane Kirkland said “adoption of the Ge phardt amendment serves notice that our country is determined to re duce its current, job-destroying, huge trade deficit.” Wall Street prices rising after slump NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market staged a moderate rallv Wednesday, bidding to recover from its recent selloff. The Dow Jones average of 30 industrials climbed 22.30 to 2,254.26, after struggling to a 1.42-point gain on Tuesday. Volume on the New Yorl Stock Exchange came to 173.5S million shares. The market broke a four-ses sion losing streak Tuesday, aided by signs of a stabilizing dollar in foreign exchange and an easinj upward pressure on interesi of The Commerce Departmeni reported Wednesday that the in dex of leading economic indica tors rose 0.4 percent in March. Analysts said it was consistent with expectations of a slow growth, low-inflation economy. Tariff bill on oil imports supported by Texans WASHINGTON (AP) —- The oil patch dosed ranks on Wednesday as Texas and Louisiana law makers submitted a pair of oil import fee mea sures in the House that were aimed at invigorat ing the nation’s petroleum industry. A bipartisan group of 12 congressmen intro duced one measure that calls for an additional $8 per barrel to the cost of imported oil as a means to buttress the sagging U.S. oil industry, partic ularly smaller producers. The Energy Independence Act, written by Rep. Joe Barton, R-Ennis, calls for a $25 per bar rel oil import fee, governmental purchases of oil from smaller producers, or stripper wells, and in creased flow into the strategic oil reserve. The revenues would be produced by the dif ference between U.S. oil prices and the $25 ceil ing set by the bill. “We think that this bill, if passed, will go a long way to minimizing the country’s energy depen dence and maximizing our energy indepen dence,” Barton said. “There is a simple way to boost domestic oil production and reduce our dependence on im ports: oil import fees.” Meanwhile, Rep. Michael Andrews, D-Hous- ton, and nine other Democrats introduced an oil import bill Wednesday that is identical to the one submitted in the Senate by Lloyd Bentsen, D- Texas and Bennett Johnston, D-La., on April 9. The Andrews-Bentsen bill calls for a $24 fee instead of $25, all of which would be applied to reducing the budget deficit, and it seeks elimina tion of the windfall profits tax. Neither of the bills include an exemption for home heating oil. Northeastern representatives have long opposed an import fee because tlie' fear it would raise the cost of home heating oil, “What they fail to realize is that the OPEC countries have for years manipulated the priceoi oil down, and whenever they want to, theycan manipulate the price back up,” said Rep. Marm Frost, D-Dallas. The bipartisan group of co-sponsors all area- ther from Texas or Louisiana, except for Did Cheney, a Wyoming Republican. They admiltd that passing the bill will be difficult in lightofila opposition but said the climate is changing™ Capitol Hill. “The political realities have changed in Sen. Lloyd Bentsen (D-Texas) is now chainM of the Finance Committee and Rep. Jim Wriglu (D-Fort Worth) is Speaker of the House," FroS said. Aust DALLAS (A [he Rev.
