What was said

"I found out that there they only stamped the top pages of these documents that were classified. So I just removed them. I removed those pages and I I carried them out. And if they'd caught me, I'd be in a goolog still."

George Knapp recalls that during a 1993 trip to Moscow he obtained materials he says included classified information. He says he was told only the top pages carried classification stamps, so he removed those pages and carried the rest out. Knapp adds he believes he would have faced severe punishment if caught.
