And we're supposed to help? Richard Brower Fortune Systems ============== Yup. Indeedy, it's true. Everybody IS out of step except our Ronnie. -- Martin Taylor {allegra,linus,ihnp4,floyd,ubc-vision}!utzoo!dciem!mmt {uw-beaver,qucis,watmath}!utcsrgv!dciem!mmt /* ---------- */ Brower may be going a little too far, but it is true that a third or more of the Soviet staff at the U.N. is KGB or GRU. What's even more interesting is that the USSR, like many other countries, require their UN staff to hand over their UN payed salary. After all, UN salaries are gargantuan compared to pay rates in most of the world's countries (excluding the western industrial powers). In this case, the KGB is getting some of the funds the UN is paying out. Since the U.S. pays a large chunk of the UN budget, you could say (as John Barron did) that the US is providing funds for the KGB. "Your tax dollars in action!"
