Abstract:

All of the experts consulted, from federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, agree that effective countermeasures against the enormous threat posed by 800 to 1,200 espionage operatives must proceed along two parallel and complementary tracks: 1) every reasonable means must be used to limit the numbers of potential Soviet-related espionage agents in the U.S. and to limit their freedom of operation; 2) U.S. counterintelligence resources must be enhanced substantially.
