I would note that the East European revolutions of the fall of 1989 may make some provisions of this legislation obsolete and will require us to address other State Department issues in an expedited manner. For example. our new relationship with the Soviet Union requires a significant expansion of office space for our Embassy in Moscow and the opening of new consulates in the Soviet Union. Most of this new activity is of an unclassified nature. that is visa and economic work. and could be done in our unfinished new chancery. Therefore. I question the wisdom of spending over $500 million to tear down the existing building and starting over.
