$80 Million Plan for Moscow Embassy Redesign
Former Defense Secretary James R. Schlesinger urged tearing off the top three floors of the U S Embassy in Moscow and building a shielded six story annex for sensitive work while “neutralizing” hidden listening devices. The plan, pegged at about $80 million, includes placing the annex next to the main chancery and moving the least sensitive functions into the lower five floors after securing the site.
