RUSSIAN THREATS TO UNITED STATES SECURITY IN THE POST-COLD WAR ERA
=======================================================================
HEARING
before the
COMMITTEE ON
GOVERNMENT REFORM
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
ONE HUNDRED SIXTH CONGRESS
SECOND SESSION
__________
JANUARY 24, 2000
" Mr. Scarborough. No. I'll just be brief, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you for holding this hearing. I certainly thank
Congressman Campbell for being here and the leadership he's
shown in this very important issue, not only to all Americans
but again to California specifically. I think of all the people
that have come before our committees and I think of all the
people that have come before the Armed Services Committee, of
which I'm also a member, I think most everybody understands
that the battles of the 21st century will not be fought on
battlefields in Europe or in Asia but for Americans, we may
find them being fought here at home. And certainly if that's
the case, then California, specifically Los Angeles, CA, will
be on the front lines in battles that involve terrorism, be it
nuclear, chemical, or biological. That's why again I thank you
for your leadership."

and as to nuclear suitcase bombs!
" In the Mitrokhin files, he documents that there are States
in the United States where these devices were prepositioned.
Specifically mentioned in the files are California,
Pennsylvania, New York, Montana, Minnesota, Texas. And he
further states that they are near pipelines. They are near
ports. They are near major public infrastructure locations. All
of this is in the KGB files. Now, this is not the main content
of this book. Because the KGB files were expansive. Only a very
small portion of this book dealt with the location of these
devices. So for those who say come forward and give us one, we
can't. But when I had Dr. Andrew who's, by the way, a Russian
security and intelligence expert at Cambridge, one of the
leading tenured professors at Cambridge University so much so
that when Mitrokhin received his ability to live in England by
the British intelligence service and the British Government,
they went to Cambridge and they went to Dr. Andrew and they
said would you work with Mitrokhin and help to prepare these
files in an organized way. That's why the book came out."
" This is a device that would be typical of a 1 to 10 kiloton
device. To give you a comparison, Hiroshima was about 15 to 16
kilotons. This would wipe out downtown L.A., would wipe out the
hotel where I'm staying, where we're all staying, and all the
buildings around. If you put this kind of a device in a
stadium, it would kill 50,000 to 75,000 people. This device can
be carried by one person. This is the device. We're talking
about a uranium-fired and uranium-fueled device that would
basically be encased inside of the metal pipe that would have
the appropriate activation devices along with it. And the
design is actually contained in the top of the briefcase.
Now, do we think that these devices are in fact buried in
the United States? We have no way of doing that. But this is
exactly what the Soviets had in mind. And according to the
specs available in the public domain which we can provide for
the record, Dr. Pry can assist in that effort, this is what the
Soviet Union can't locate.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Burton. Thank you for that outstanding presentation.
Now if anybody's hair is not gray, we'll turn to our
colleague from California, Mr. Campbell, for an opening
statement.
