    FBI License Plate Codes

    Somewhere in the vicinity of 2500 Soviet and Eastern European
    officials live in the United States at any given time. The U.S.
    State Department estimates that 30% to 40% of them are spies.

    This comes to about 900 working spies in the diplomatic corps.

    It is a very difficult job to keep track of the comings and goings
    of these "diplomats", so the government has developed coded
    diplomatic license plates.

    The code applies ONLY to diplomatic plates which are conspicuously
    red, white and blue with the word DIPLOMAT printed at the top.

    All diplomatic licenses have a D. The other two letters indicate
    the nation. SX for example, indicates that the car carries diplomats
    from the Soviet Union.

    FBI counter-intelligence agents are given wallet-sized cards listing
    the codes for eighteen "problem" nations.

    These nations are identified by the following codes :

    Albania CP Libya FM
    Bulgaria OM Nicaragua QU
    China CY North Korea GQ
    Cuba DC Poland QW
    Czechoslavakia PH Romania ND
    East Germany TJ South Africa FY
    Hungary KH Soviet Union SX
    Iran DM Syria AQ
    Iraq TS Vietnam LD

    The Washington Post published the code against the wishes of the
    State Department. They feared RAMBO types might attack diplomatic
    vehicles of countries they did not like.
