Former Defense Secretary James R. Schlesinger has been named to conduct a comprehensive review of the bogged-down construction of the new U.S. Embassy in Moscow, the State Department said. The project, begun in 1980 and originally scheduled for completion in July, 1982, has been delayed by cost overruns and efforts to ensure that eavesdropping equipment is not slipped into the structure by Soviet security agents. Schlesinger is expected to complete his review by mid-May.
