91 B6 FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 2001 LOS ANGELES TIMES Obituaries William Krimer; Presidents' Interpreter From The Washington Post WASHINGTON-William Krimer, a Russian language interpreter for the State Department who participated in negotiations between Presidents Johnson, Nixon, Carter and Reagan and leaders of the Soviet Union, died Sunday at Inova Fairfax Hospital of complications related to arterial surgery. He was 86. From 1963 to 1982, Krimer was the State Department's chief Russian interpreter. He retired in 1982, but in retirement took on such special assignments as Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev's 1985 visit to the United States. In 1963 and 1964, he was the interpreter for Russian-born Marina Oswald before the Warren Commission, which was investigating the assassination of President Kennedy by her husband, Lee Harvey Oswald.

"The job presupposes your being at home in both languages," said Krimer in a 1987 interview with the Washington Post. "Plus education- you can't be ignorant of what the world is all about. And it takes a great deal of concentration, memory and the ability to present someone else's views." Over his career, Krimer was an interpreter at the 1967 talks between President Johnson and Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin in Glassboro, N.J., and during President Nixon's visit to Moscow in 1972 to sign the SALT I treaty. He participated in Nixon's meetings with Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev in Washington, San Clemente and Moscow from 1972 to 1974. Krimer also interpreted at President Carter's talks with Brezhnev in 1979 in Vienna and at President APPEL, Alvin Frank Beloved wife of Rosalie; loving father of Lana (Ron) Shapiro; cherished grandfather of Lorin and Karin Leavitt.

Friedheim; USC Expert on the Oceans and International Relations By MYRNA OLIVER TIMES STAFF WRITER Robert L. Friedheim, USC international relations expert who helped develop federal policies on oceanic resources, environment and fishing rights, has died at the age of 66.

Friedheim, former director of the USC School of International Relations, died Jan. 31 at his home in Playa del Rey of lung cancer. Instrumental in developing the Law of the Sea Treaty for the United Nations, Friedheim cautioned that any "ocean rush" to reap minerals and other undersea riches would be a long time in coming because of the uncertainty of international rights. The treaty, which the United States declined to sign because it granted common rights for all nations to about of the world's oceans, called for the nationalization of the remaining by creating economic zones within 200 miles of shore. "There were a lot of expectations of untold riches at the bottom of the sea," Friedheim said in a 1984 article in The Times.

"But a resource is only a resource if you can recover it and sell it for a price. No sensible explorer is going to go in without a guaranteed right to exclusivity." International squabbles over rights to oil and gas deposits and fishing areas near coastlines, he said, illustrated the complexity of the problem. Born in New York City and educated in political science at Columbia University and the University of Washington, Friedheim served in the Army in military intelligence. He began his career teaching political science at Purdue University. THORPE, John Gregory, K.M.
