50¢ lliasbingtun Eimcs a/ti/5; /rig/7. 7% The eight-story mike So acute is the crisis at our embassy in Moscow that even the State Department has conceded having a problem and has offered to take “whatever action is necessary" to make the embassy spy-proof. It is good to have such willing hands in the service of the state. Unfortunately, no reasonable view of recent events suggests that State Depart- ment spy-proofing is exactly what the doctor ordered. It was the State Department, let us bear in mind, that negotiated the agreement allow- ing the Soviets to plant umpteen hundred listening devices in the floor boards, ceiling tiles, and walls of our new embassy building in Moscow, making it into what Rep. Dick Armey, without much exaggeration, calls “an eight-story microphone." It was the State Department that, deaf to lively protests from the intelligence commu- nity, agreed to have the new Soviet embassy here planted atop Mount Alto, from which site the KGB’s laser-equipped peeping toms might peer more easily through the walls of the Pentagon, the State Department, the Capitol. and the White_I~Iouse. -31- °l 98 7 Reproduced with Permission. The Washington Times It is also the State Department that, until last year, had resisted repeated efforts to have Russian employees at our embassy in Moscow replaced with security-checked Americans, thus sparing the KGB the neces- sity of supplying our diplomats with make- believe butlers, cooks (such as the lass who T snared Marine Cpl. Arnold Bracy), and re- ceptionists (such as the one who snared Sgt. Clayton Lonetree). If, preoccupied with loftier matters, the State Department simply had failed to grasp the security risk entailed in having the new American embassy constructed from pre- fabricated modulesof Soviet manufacture. that you could understand. But the State De- partment was warned, most recently last fall, and still did nothing about it. With his Moscow-bound secretary of state wondering whether to carry along his own house trailer for private conversations, even President Reagan was musing yesterday about having to demolish the still leakier new building and start over. That would be a be- ginning, but the truly vital demolition work awaits at the Department of State.

Chirago iliihune /737/« p. /Z. 9198 7 Reproduced with Permission. Chicago Tribune Semper fi in good times and bad These are not easy times for the U.S. Marines, who know more than most just how tough times can get. There was Lt. Col. Oliver North, at the center of the Iran-contras affair, wearing a chestful of medals and invoking the 5th Amendment. There was retired Lt. Col. Robert McFarlane carrying a cake and a Bible into Tehran in a comic opera exercise. There was old marine Donald Regan being unceremoniously pushed out of his job as White House chief of staff in a public spat with Nancy Reagan. And now we have two marines in the brig on espionage charges for allegedly engaging in sexual liaisons with Soviet women employes of the American Embassy in Moscow and, in consequence, allowing Soviets into secret areas of the embassy. The whole marine detachment at the embassy is now being brought home and being replaced as a security precau- tion. It has reached the point where about the closest the Marine Corps has come lately to acceptable publicity was the revelation that Secretary of State George Shultz, another old leathemeck, has a Princeton tiger i tattooed on his behind. It is easy now to joke that the Marine Corps-— “We’re looking for a few good men”--could also use a few smart ones. ' But the jokes and the criticism are oflbase and unfair and unwarranted. The Marines are still the Marines-— as they have been from the Halls of Montezuma to the Shores of Tripoli, and from the sands of Iwo J ima to the Chosin Reservoir to the Danang Perimeter to Beirut to today—--proud and gung-ho and always stuck with the tough anddirty jobs. They’ve found a lot of good men, and women.
