YES! Thank you, Hansen. How old is he? I can't recall. Likely too young to know anything first hand.

He's in his late 50s I think. Had been with the FBI like 25 years when "caught" so he wouldn't have been around until about '76 and then he would have been a rookie, I am guessing.

FBI Spy Charged With Counter-Espionage

AM Archive - Wednesday, 21 February , 2001 00:00:00
Reporter: Michael Carey

COMPERE: In Washington an embarrassed FBI has announced that one of its most senior counter-intelligence officers has been charge with spying for the Russians since the 1980s. Although the agency says it doesn't know how much damage the alleged spy Robert Hanson did, it concedes the impact was grave.

MICHAEL CAREY: On Monday morning it came to an end with agents picking up Hanssen after he'd apparently hidden a package of classified material under a footbridge in Virginia parkland which his Russian handlers were expected to retrieve it.

The FBI says 56-year-old Hanssen looked surprised.

For his part today Director Freeh looked grim faced as he recounted the agent's career and alleged treason.

LOUIS FREEH: The information he's alleged to have provided compromised numerous sources, technical operations and FBI counter-intelligence techniques, sources and methods.
