Family Of Spies: Inside The John Walker Spy Ring - Plot & Excerpts
His passport had expired and he was scheduled to meet his KGB handler on January 15, 1983, in Vienna. A helpful aide in the Norfolk office of Republican Representative G. William Whitehurst assured John that if he hand delivered his expired passport to the congressman’s office, someone there would make certain he got his new passport in time. He did, and the congressman’s office came through. “I thought it was neat that a congressman helped me get to my KGB meeting on time,” John told me later, breaking into a grin. On January 10, John boarded Eastern flight 508 from Norfolk to New York City flying under the alias of John Williams, then used his actual name on a Swiss air flight to Zurich. The next day, John took the train to Vienna, checking into the luxury Vienna Intercontinental on the eleventh. The hotel was filled with Americans, even in the middle of winter. The morning of his meeting, John walked to the white marble U-Bahn station less than one block away from his hotel.
