	U.S. should setup a world wide effort (it can be unilateral) to place
	all Soviet diplomatic personnel under house arrest for 269 days.  This
	house arrest will require that any Soviet personnel must have a police
	escort to leave their residences for any reason whatsoever including
	going to buy food, hospitalization, or other emergencies.  Any viola-
	tion of their house arrest will result in their immediate deportation
	as an undesirable (illegal activity) guest.



great!! then the russians can put all u.s. diplomats under house arrest.
and we can continue to trade antics from now until the second coming.

there is a town (glen cove, n.y., i believe) that does not let russian
diplomats use the local beach.  pressure from the u.s. state department
was of no avail.  the russkies responded by denying beach facilities on the
volga to u.s. diplomats.

also, it is illegal to arrest diplomats.  they have diplomatic immunity,
remember?

p.s. no flames please that do not address this particular issue.  i think
the russian act was reprehensible, and has *no* defense.
