His office was in the ‘Rogues Gallery’, the secure area of the Embassy, and next door to those of Philby and Burgess. After the 1979 Boyle story broke, after representations by Mann, a press release was issued by the Office of the Secretary of Commerce Dr Wilfrid B Mann has been a longstanding and esteemed employee of the National Bureau of Standards.
