This is the government secretary determined by Barnabas "Barney" Wolkowicz to be a Soviet agent. Jocelyn is the youngest daughter of a justice of the Virginia Supreme Court, R. Beaulieu Frick. Voluptuous and late-blooming Jocelyn turns down three proposals of marriage and enters a relationship with a gloomy Armenian called Mordecai Bashian, her supervisor in the Bureau of Labor Standards. Bashian sweetly seduces her, insists that they will never marry, and forces her into prostitution with various Addressees, including the confirmed homosexual, Wadsworth "Waddy" Jessup. Sent to prison, Jocelyn and Bashian both die before Barney confirms that he had set up the entire operation to divert attention from real Soviet spies, himself included.
