National Archives and Records Administration - DIMOC 803482 - THE WALKER SPY RING - LESSONS LEARNED - RETIRED NAVY WARRANT OFFICER JOHN WALKER AND OTHERS HAD BEEN CAUGHT DELIVERING NAVY SECRET MATERIAL TO THE SOVIETS. A CRIME THAT WAS COMMITTED FOR OVER SEVENTEEN YEARS. A CRIME WHOSE GLOBAL CONSEQUENCES ARE STILL BEING PROBED, AND SERIOUSLY JEOPARDIZED U.S. NAVAL PLANS AND OPERATIONS THAT STILL PUT AT RISK SOME OF THE MISSIONS THE U.S. NAVY IS CALLED UPON TO PERFORM. THE PEOPLE WHO COMMITTED THIS CRIME ARE NOW INCARCERATED IN A U.S. PENITENTIARY. THERE ARE ALWAYS LESSONS TO BE LEARNED SO THAT WHAT HAPPENED ONCE, WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS PRESENTATION IS INTENDED TO INFORM DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY PERSONNEL ABOUT THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF ESPIONAGE IN THE WALKER/WHITWORTH CASE. HOPEFULLY, BY BEING MORE AWARE OF WHAT HAPPENED IN THIS CASE, DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY PERSONNEL WILL BE BETTER PREPARED TO DETECT AND THWART SIMILAR INCIDENTS IN THE FUTURE. -
