Tunney also seems to have been a setter of honey traps. In my note on one of the sources mentioned above, Richard E. Burke's The Senator: My Ten Years With Senator Ted Kennedy, I jotted down this note from pages 138-139 on Tunney's attempt to introduce Kennedy to a Politburo aide named Natasha:

138-139: Kennedy invited to give keynote address at September 1978 World Health Organization meeting in Soviet Socialist Republic of Kazakhstan, decides to meet with Refuseniks on trip, asks advice from Tunney due to his business contacts in USSR and association with Karr in building hotel for 1980 Olympics, Karr is linked to Politburo functionary named “Andrei” with aide Natasha whom Tunney had spent time on Karr’s yacht, Tunney tells Kennedy Natasha might be point of contact with Brezhnev regarding Refuseniks
