State Dragging Its Feet
Will Anti-KGB Measure
Be Enforced?
Is the State Department wilfully ignoring Soviet
abuse of the international civil service? That's the
i
quest
on Rep. Don Sund-
quist (R.-Tenn.) is asking
six months after Congress
Passed a law mandating the
end of U.S. support for
salary kickbacks by Soviet
employees of the United
Nations. According to a
Senate Intelligence Com-
mittee report the Sovtets
from the pavchec s o t etr

kickbacks pour an estimated $20 million a year in-
to KGB coffers. The Soviets require their nationals
working at the United Nations to turn over U.N.
paychecks and receive the lower pay of a Soviet
employee. They hold the balance and use it to pay
for KGB operations.
Last summer, Sundquist sponsored an amend-
ment ordering the secretary of state to report to
Congress on the extent of salary kickbacks by
November 15. His amendment also requires the
State Department to reduce the proportionate
share of our assessed U.N. contribution on June 1,
1986, if progress hasn't been made in ending this
practice. Rep. Sundquist's amendment was signed
into law on August 16. The problem is, the State
Department hasn't yet reported to Congress, rais-
ing questions about its willingness to implement
the mandatory reduction in our U.N. contribution.
