Possible Soviet Harassment Tactics for Consideration
in Cloud Gap 9
1. Establishment of a low-level liaison office as the final
court of appeal for inspection teams.
2. Quartering of inspection teams in sub-standard housing,
changing quarters frequently, disrupting utilities, and
requiring strict compliance with local residential
regulations.
3. Rigid, escorted or surveilled supervision of inspectors
off-duty; this program could also include exaggerated
hospitality, involving food, alcoholic beverages, and
late hours.
4. Rerouting and delay of inspector transportation, to, from,
and at inspection sites because of mechanical failure,
weather, and misunderstandings.
5. Mishandling of correspondence, accreditation documents, and
empowering instructions to plant and other local authorities
at inspection sites, resulting in delay, restriction, or
prevention of regular inspection.
6. Engagement of inspectors in propaganda presentations,
worker activities, and other unproductive and time-
consuming niceties at inspection sites.
7. Exploitation of professional or personality weaknesses by
manipulating the degree of cooperation with inspectors --
providing some with good data, others with less or poor
data; this could be done through varying daily routine
or by singling out an inspector and using a counter-
intelligence agent against him.
8. Actual or trumped-up compromise of an inspector involving
women, or alleged infraction of Soviet laws regarding
disposition and acquisition of personal effects, literature,
etc., or informal complaints against inspectors for
supposed improprieties.
