On July 5, 1978 the KGB was renamed the "KGB of the USSR" with the KGB Chairman given a seat on the council.

 KGB -- komitet gosudarstvennoi bezopasnosti
The KGB was originally designated as a "state committee attached to the Council of Ministers." On July 5, 1978, a new law on the Council of Ministers changed the status of the KGB, along with that of several other state committees, so that its chairman was a member of the Council of Ministers by law.
The KGB's tasks were generally defined in official Soviet publications as encompassing four areas: the struggle against foreign spies and agents, the exposure and investigation of political and economic crimes by citizens, the protection of state borders, and the protection of state secrets.
In addition, the KGB was empowered, along with the Procuracy and the MVD, to investigate the following economic crimes: stealing of state property by appropriation or embezzlement or by abuse of official position and stealing of state property or socialist property (see Glossary) on an especially large scale.

Adamkus personifies the West, or integration with the West, and was positioned to win the support of Lithuanians who take pride in the country's integration achievements over the past couple months - the culmination of 13 years of toil and trouble.
Prunskiene, on the other hand, represents gender equality, the agrarian lobby, and for some, the Komitet Gosudarstvennoi Bezopasnosti - the KGB.
