The Langley Gold Club is notably uninfluenced by 1600 PA Ave, NW (or, for that matter, 23rd and C, NW, except when they decide to have a sausage-grinding contest). FBI counterintel isn't much less skilled at ignoring all 3 (except when they feel the need to declare they have the biggest sausage). And there's no good reason for exposing known enemy agents unless they cannot be moved out of a critical information flow without blowing the gaffe anyway.
