View

This document appears to be a page from a book or narrative report included in House Oversight Committee records. It details an interview with KGB officer Victor Cherkashin regarding the motivations and handling of famous American spies Aldrich Ames (CIA) and Robert Hanssen (FBI). The text contrasts Ames, who was managed by the KGB and motivated by resentment and debt, with Hanssen, who was a self-recruited 'mercenary' that controlled the terms of his own espionage.
