LETTERS, Page 4Moscow Mission
Many allegations contained in the excerpt from Ronald Kessler's
Moscow Station (BOOK EXCERPT, Feb. 20) I find hard to accept,
particularly the description of Ambassador Arthur Hartman. Hartman
increased, rather than diminished, security at the U.S. embassy
during his service in Moscow, from 1981 to 1987. He installed a
portcullis gate in the automobile entrance, heightened security at
the public access entry, investigated the KGB's use of spy dust to
track embassy personnel and obliged officers and guests to wear
identification tags. Hartman effectively combined toughness with
sensitivity.
Nicholas Daniloff, Moscow Bureau Chief
U.S. News & World Report, 1981-86
Cambridge, Mass.
In 1986 the Soviets arrested Daniloff on charges of spying,
apparently in retaliation for the seizure of an accused Soviet spy
in New York City. Two weeks later, he was released in the custody
of the U.S. embassy and was ultimately freed.
