Let me say that. notwithstanding this breakout of glasnost and democratic reforms that is spreading across Europe. it is important that we not lose sight of the fact that these countries place a high premium on obtaining information about the United States intentions and capabilities. Espionage has not abated in this country. The United States is still a target and indeed. with the lowering barriers of immigration and the burgeoning of contacts at both the governmental and private levels. the present environment is very conducive to espionage. While we are welcoming improved relationships. we have to be sure that our counterintelligence and security capabilities remain strong. I must tell you I am seriously concerned about the insufficient attention given to FBI resources in particular and the Bureaus ability to cope with a vastly changing landscape.
