Embassy Has Problems
The new United States Embassy Office Building under construction in Moscow has important structural deficiencies, but the costs to remedy these deficiencies would be modest in comparison to the total construction project, according to researchers at the Commerce Department's National Bureau of Standards (NBS). In a report submitted to Congress April 15, NBS said the remedial measures required to assure the safety of occupants do not involve major reconstruction. NBS concluded that if similar repairs were done in Washington, D.C., the corrective measures could be completed in less than a year and would cost an estimated $1.5 million. NBS stressed that actual costs of the recommended measures would depend greatly upon working conditions in Moscow and the way in which the work was performed.
