"The State Technical Commission under the Russian Federation
President is not an intelligence service in the customarily accepted sense
of the word. It was created by Russian Presidential Edict No. 9, dated January 5, 1992, as a permanently
operating organ of state rule and is responsible for guaranteeing the
protection of information that is an official and state secret, for
preventing its loss through technical channels, and for counteracting
foreign technical intelligence services on Russian
Federation territory.
But the main thing that characterizes the Russian State Technical
Commission is the fact that it is a collegial organ which is made up of
ministers, chairmen of state committees, and first deputies (deputies) of these
leaders. There are a total of 23 people" (Nezavisimoye Voyennoye
Obozreniye, No 3, 25-31 Jan 97 p 1).]
