Too bad he didn't have access to the Clipper database. That would have helped us find its free market price.
...and who's to say he didn't? Anyone who bought it--the Russians, for example--would hardly have been likely to publicize their purchase. (Maybe if _we_ purchased it, we'd publicize the purchase, but nearly anyone else would not.) According to tonight's news reports, he was in charge of counterintelligence against the Soviets and then the Russians in the New York area. This gave him considerable access to surveillance and crypto methods. Note also that James Kallstrom heads up the New York FBI office.
