Good Guys Bill Clinton and Boris Yeltsin

Yeltsin Gets Approval for Separate KGB : Soviet Union: Security agency under local control in his federation could cause tremors.

MOSCOW September 20, 1990| In a development symbolizing the shift of Soviet political power, Russian Federation President Boris N. Yeltsin said Wednesday he has received permission, in principle, to form a separate KGB state security agency for his republic that would be under local control.

Yeltsin, the anti-Establishment politician who once portrayed himself as the target of a KGB assassination plot, told the Russian Federation Parliament that he discussed the founding of a separate state security agency with KGB Chairman Vladimir A. Kryuchkov and received Kryuchkov's consent.

The legislative basis for the independent agency, which would break more than seven decades of monolithic and legally unfettered Soviet state security operations, could be in place by November, Yeltsin said.

The Russian leader's announcement, reported by the official Soviet news agency Tass, is likely to resound throughout Soviet society, where millions still fear or loathe the descendant of V. I. Lenin's Cheka and Josef Stalin's NKVD. They believe the KGB has remained above the law, despite President Mikhail S. Gorbachev's democratic reforms.
