Ames describes two secret CIA operations, one of which was "CK – Absorb" which was a $60 million covert project where the CIA filled a cargo container on a train going west on the TransSiberia railroad with highly sensitive electronic sensors that were supposed to take readings of Soviet warheads that were being shipped by rail eastward on the same train line. The project never produced any useful information because Ames tipped off the Soviets before it was fully developed. He also describes "CK – TAW" an operation where the CIA was able to wire tap the KGB in Moscow. The “CK” designation was used as a prefix by the CIA to denote a secret operation.
