Tuesday 9 February 2010, 11:45 a.m. -- AFIO Hampton Roads Norman Forde Chapter meeting features FBI Agent who Broke Walker Spy Ring in 1985.

Robert W. Hunter, retired FBI agent who in 1985 broke the spy ring of John Walker, one of the Soviet Union's most dangerous and damaging spies, addresses AFIO Hampton Roads/Norman Forde Chapter members at this Buffet Luncheon at the Breezy Point Officers' Club, Norfolk Naval Station.
Hunter was a special agent for the FBI in Norfolk from 1967 until his retirement in 1989. The last 10 years of his career were spent in the field of foreign counterintelligence.
In that decade, he was the case agent and lead investigator on cases that resulted in 5 espionage convictions, the most successful counterintelligence career on record in the history of the FBI.
Within the intelligence community, Bob Hunter is known as the agent who caught master spy John Walker and brought an end to what many top officials call the most damaging espionage ring in U.S. history.
John Walker was one of the Soviet Union's most successful agents for nearly 20 years before he was finally caught in May 1985. Walker and his ring probably provided over a million pages of classified documents to the Soviets over two decades and seriously compromised U.S. defense capabilities. Bob Hunter's book, "Spy Hunter" is about the famed Walker case and is available for sale on Amazon.com.

Before Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Officer Aldrich “Rick” Ames betrayed his country to spy for Soviet intelligence, Peter Earnest was one of his supervisors. The founding executive director of the International Spy Museum and a 35-year-veteran of the CIA’s Clandestine Service, Earnest provides a unique perspective on Ames and the legacy of his betrayals. Driven by greed and a desire for the high life, Ames volunteered to spy for the Soviet KGB in 1985. Over the next nine years, he gave the KGB the name of every CIA source the Agency operated within the Soviet Union and compromised many other CIA covert operations in Eastern Europe; at least ten Soviets working covertly for the CIA were executed as a result of his betrayal. http://www.spymuseum.org

Thursday, 4 February 2010; 6:30 pm - Washington, DC - The Counterfeiters at the International Spy Museum

“Are you suggesting sabotage? In a concentration camp?”
—Salomon Sorowitsch
In 1942, the Nazis initiated Operation Bernhard, a plan to destabilize the British
economy by flooding the market with counterfeit pound notes. The Oscar winning 2007 film, The Counterfeiters, tells the story of the largest forgery program in history through the experience of master forger Salomon Sorowitsch. Arrested and interned at Sachsenhausen concentration camp, Sorowitsch’s skills are essential to the German plan. They offer him a chance for survival, but should he choose to support the Nazi war effort? The operation’s complexity and the moral dilemma for the prisoners involved make for a challenging and engrossing film. International Spy Museum historian, Thomas Boghardt, will place Operation Bernhard in its historical context and reveal the conception and effectiveness of the plan. Guests will have a special opportunity to view an authentic Operation Bernhard forged ten pound note from the Museum’s collection.
Tickets: $6.25 per person http://www.spymuseum.org

Wednesday, 10 February 2010; 10:15 am - Washington, DC - John Walker: The Ring Leader at the International Spy Museum

KGB Major General Oleg Kalugin (ret.) was on the other side when cash-strapped warrant officer John Walker volunteered U.S. Naval secrets to the Soviets in 1967. As the deputy resident and acting chief of the KGB Residency at the Soviet Embassy in Washington, Kalugin handled Walker, the leader of one of the most notorious and damaging spy rings in U.S. history. Walker, a communications specialist, recruited his brother, his son, and his friend and colleague Jerry Whitworth to supply the Soviet Union with Naval decoding keys to more than one million top secret messages. http://www.spymuseum.org

Wednesday, 17 February 2010; 10:15 am - Washington, DC - Oleg Penkovsky: The Heroic Spy

In 1960, Oleg Penkovsky, a colonel in Soviet military intelligence, was determined to share the truth about Soviet missile power and war capability with the West. But no one would listen! When he finally connected with the CIA and British intelligence, his handlers debriefed him for over 50 hours gleaning everything from gossip to 10,000 pages of military manuals and documents. Thomas Boghardt, International Spy Museum historian and Cold War-era intelligence expert, explores Penkovsky’s revelations and how this information kept us from war with the USSR over the Cuban Missile Crisis. He will also discuss Penkovsky’s complex motivations for spying, how the KGB eventually caught up with him, and what his case can teach intelligence and counterintelligence officials today. http://www.spymuseum.org

Thursday, 18 February 2010; 12 noon – 1 pm - Washington, DC - The Watchers: The Rise of America’s Surveillance State at the International Spy Museum

Has the U.S. government’s surveillance strategy made it harder to catch terrorists but easier to spy on ordinary citizens? In The Watchers, journalist Shane Harris tracks the government’s elusive quest to build a computer system that can sift huge amounts of electronic data for signs of terrorist activity. First proposed by national security adviser John Poindexter in 1983, reopened after the 9/11 attacks in a program called Total Information Awareness (TIA), and publicly banned by Congress in 2003, TIA was recreated as a classified program at the National Security Agency and is now a cornerstone of the Obama administration’s national security policy. Drawing on unprecedented access to the people who pioneered this high-tech spycraft, Harris contends that despite billions of dollars spent on this digital quest since the Reagan era, the government still can’t discern future threats in the vast data cloud, but can now spy on its citizens with an ease that was impossible and illegal just a few years ago.

Wednesday, 24 February 2010; 10:15 am- Washington, DC - Robert Hanssen: The Anonymous Spy

David G. Major worked with Robert Hanssen at the FBI for 14 years and was his chain-of-command supervisor for three years. In 1979, special agent Hanssen volunteered to spy for the Soviet Military Intelligence Agency (GRU). The counterintelligence expert shared U.S. intelligence community secrets, the identities of dozens of secret intelligence agents working for the U.S. around the world, and leaked the existence of an FBI eavesdropping tunnel dug under the Russian Embassy in D.C. Hanssen remained anonymous to his Soviet handlers and to the U.S. government for over 20 years. The damage done by this traitor is incalculable. Major, a retired FBI supervisory special agent, founder of the Centre for Counterintelligence and Security Studies, and International Spy Museum board member, will provide a rare glimpse into the personality and psychology of Hanssen. http://www.spymuseum.org

Wednesday, 3 March 2010; 10:15 am - Washington, DC - Ana Montes: Cuba’s American Mole at the International Spy Museum

Scott W. Carmichael, the Defense Intelligence Agency’s senior counterintelligence investigator, and his colleagues became suspicious of Ana Montes, the intelligence community’s top Cuban analyst. As it turns out, their concerns were warranted: throughout her 16-year career, Montes was sending Castro closely guarded American secrets and using her position to influence U.S. strategic thinking on Cuba. Carmichael, author of True Believer: Inside the Investigation and Capture of Ana Montes, Cuba’s Master Spy, reveals the details of the spy hunt that ended her espionage career less than 24 hours before she would have learned specifics of the U.S. plan to invade Afghanistan in the wake of September 11th. Carmichael will also comment on parallels between the Montes case and more recent Cuban spy cases.
In collaboration with the Smithsonian Resident Associate Program. http://www.spymuseum.org

Wednesday, 10 March 2010, 6:30 p.m. - Washington, DC - A Weapons of Mass Disruption Program from Cold War to Cyber War featuring Gail Harris, Naval Intelligence Officer

WHAT: “I decided to be unorthodox."—Gail Harris
When Gail Harris was assigned by the U.S. Navy to a combat intelligence job in 1973, she became the first woman to hold such a position. By the time of her retirement, she was the highest ranking African American female in the Navy. Her 28-year career included hands-on leadership in the intelligence community during every major conflict from the Cold War to Desert Storm to Kosovo. Captain Harris was at the forefront of one of the newest challenges: cyber warfare, developing intelligence policy for the Computer Network Defense and Computer Network Attack for the Department of Defense. Harris, author of A Woman's War: The Professional and Personal Journey of the Navy's First African American Female Intelligence Officer, will share her unique experience providing intelligence support to military operations while also battling the status quo, office bullies, and politics. She’ll also offer her perspective on the way intelligence is used and sometimes misused.
WHERE: International Spy Museum, 800 F St NW, Washington, DC, Gallery Place/Chinatown Metrorail Station. TICKETS: $12.50. Advance Registration required. Tickets are non-refundable. To register: order online; or purchase tickets in person at the International Spy Museum.
