The Diplomat



Good morning, Mr. Phelps.  The day before yesterday, information pinpointing the locations of America's four missle-control centers was stolen.  A Major Barrett and several other enemy agents involved were arrested but not before the information was delivered to this man, Valentin Yetkoff, military attache at the embassy in Washington.   As usual with vital information, it must be verified before it can be acted upon.   Yetkoff has given that assignment to Roger Toland, his top agent in diplomatic circles.  Jim, if the iformation is confirmed, this country will be vulnerable to a preemptive missle attack.  Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to prevent this.  As always, if you or any of your IM Force should be caught or killed, the secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.  This tape will self-destruct in five seconds.  Good luck, Jim.
