Prikhodko; had himself
served as an intelligence offi-
cer in New York, from 1952 to
1955, under 'cover' of a post
with the Soviet Mission to the
United Nations.
Penkovsky first read it in
the course of a briefing ses-
sion In Moscow while prepar-
ing for a mission to the Unit-
ed States, which was later
canceled. He sent it along,
with the Papers, as "a .warn-
ing to the American people"

espionage has expanded, in
fact, formalized, its wide-
spread undercover activities
