WASHINGTON -- A retired State Department worker with top secret security
clearance and his wife have been indicted on charges of spying for Cuba.
The indictment handed down by the attorney general's office in
Washington says Walter Kendall Myers and his wife, Gwendolyn Steingraber
Myers, have been clandestine agents for Cuba for 30 years.
The indictment says the pair met with Cuban President Fidel Castro in
Cuba in 1995, traveling through Mexico under false names. They allegedly
made several other trips to Latin America and the Caribbean to meet with
Cuban agents.
Kendall Myers worked at the State Department's Foreign Service
Institute, where he specialized in European matters, before retiring in
2007. The indictment says in his last year of employment, Kendall Myers
viewed more than 200 intelligence reports related to Cuba.
