Proposed law to force Soviets
to leave new embassy complex
WASHINGTON (AP) — The So
viets are already using their new hill
top embassy complex for espionage,
two members of Congress said
Wednesday as they announced the
introduction of a resolution to force
the Soviets to leave the site.
“We will move the Russians off
Mount Alto,” said Rep. 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 two sides are to sit downs

House risks Reagan’s veto, adds
proposal to lower trade surpluses
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
House defied a presidential veto
threat Wednesday and narrowly ap
proved major legislation to force Ja
pan and other countries to end “ex
cess and unwarranted” trade
surpluses or face stringent U.S. sanc
tions.
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.”

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.
