He Heads the . Government s Tolice of foreign missions which retaliates against foreign governments that harass or intimidate americans living overseas. Until recently the . Government had Lille leverage to respond in kind to such tactics. Bui in 1983, Congress passed what Nolan called a Superb piece of legislation to create the Tolice of foreign missions giving it extraordinary Legal Power to As he said find pressure Points in the  amid the clamor Over reports that the soviets had so bugged the new . Embassy in Moscow that it might be torn Down Nolan quietly ordered . Companies to Stop supplying construction materials to the new soviet embassy in Washington. It was a step the american government could not have taken before the enactment of the 1983 Law. It seemed to me that As Long As we Are in that situation in Moscow we did t need to be Selling them any material Nolan said in an interview. Finding the right lever is not always easy but sometimes it is fun said Nolan who was head of Fri counterintelligence before his appointment As first head of the office of foreign missions. You can to. Create in Washington Long lines for whatever goods you Are Able to buy in Moscow on a Given Day he said nor can the United states duplicate the mud puddles and 19 soviet guard Booths surrounding the . Embassy in Moscow. But he can help. Telephone service improved for americans in Warsaw and Prague after Nolan pulled the plug on polish and Czechoslovakia diplomats in Washington. For years the government of Bulgaria another soviet bloc country ignored . Pleas to give american diplomats better housing. I asked our embassy in Sofia for photographs of the apartments in question showed them to the bulgarians and told them we would have to find comparable housing for their diplomats in Washington unless we got new apartments within 30 Days said Nolan. We  Trie government of Algeria expropriated . Property after the revolution there in the 1960s, and refused to make reparations. Ii so happened that shortly alter this office was set up the algerians wanted to build a new embassy in Washington Nolan said. We held up the relocation until they paid " he declined to detail the counterintelligence aspects of his work but said we have Liaison officers from the Fri and military intelligence who Are interested in travel and some of the other issues involving diplomats from the soviet bloc and other potentially hostile nations. The Kremlin requires americans in Moscow to request permission 48 hours in Advance if they wish to travel farther than 21 Miles from the soviet capital and can also deny them room in state owned planes trains and hotels. Those conditions Are hard to recreate in the free Market conditions of the United states Nolan said. But soviet diplomats must request permission to travel and must Book their transportation and hotel bookings through Nolan s office. For every trip the soviets deny the americans Nolan denies the russians and he tacks on extra fees to match those surcharged by the soviets. The travel controls make counterintelligence work a lot easier he said. Because foreign diplomats in the United slates have immunity from criminal prosecution local governments had trouble enforcing Laws against Drunken driving or forcing diplomats to carry mandatory liability insurance. The office of foreign missions rather than local governments now issues Drivers licenses and tags and Nolan does not hesitate to revoke them for moving offences or failure to carry insurance. The new procedure has another advantage for Nolan s former colleagues in counter intelligence the distinctive red White and Blue License plates have letter codes for each country making it easier for the Fri to keep track of cars owned by soviet bloc embassies.
