S. Intelligence Community (IC) organizations, with the ultimate objective of penetrating these organizations. The KGB also continues its efforts to recruit emigres or Americans with Soviet ethnic backgrounds. One objective of these recruitment operations is to penetrate the IC and anti-Soviet emigre organization. This enables the Soviets to monitor their activities and ensure the security of Soviet officials in the United States. GRU Operations As of June, 1985, approximately 25 percent of known or suspected SIS officers stationed in the United States were considered to be affiliated with the GRU. Recent investigations have revealed two changes in the operations/intentions of these GRU officers, beginning with a greater degree of caution being exhibited by the Washington GRU Residency. In two controlled operations in which classified documents were to be passed, the GRU principal searched the asset in an obvious attempt to detect body recorders or transmitters. This action indicates an awareness of FBI operational techniques by the GRU. It is also known that the Soviets are interested in purchasing several tape recorder detectors which are commercially available in the Washington area. GRU officers have also shown an interest in personal computers, specifically in computer capability to retrieve information from other computers and to communicate over extended distances. The FBI has no evidence of the GRU's current use of personal computers for either overt or covert intelligence gathering.
