Good morning, Mr. Briggs. The man in the photo on your right is Andreas Solowiechek,
a member of a Communist trade delegation to the US. Yesterday, Solowiechek was
arrested and charged with the assassination of Senator William Townsend. Already,
Townsend's extremist supporters, led by his principal backer, R.J. McMillan, are demanding
that we break relations with the Communist bloc. With the end of diplomatic
relations, the Cold War will immediately start to heat up. Even though Solowiechek
won't admit it, we're convinced that he was not acting on orders of his government.
Your mission, Dan, if you decide to accept it, is to prove it. As always, should you
or any of your IM Force be caught or killed, the secretary will disavow any knowledge f
your actions. Please dispose of this recording in the usual manner. Good
luck, Dan.
