Good morning, Mr. Phelps. The man you are looking at is Walter Townsend, one of our
high-ranking intelligence officers, whom we recentlty discovered is a top enemy agent.
Upon learning this, we allowed Townsend access to false information which will
cause his country severe embarrassment if believed and acted upon. Unfortunately,
this man, George Simpson, Townsend's only contact in America, discovered the information
was false and reported to his superiors that Townsend had defected. However, his
superiors are aware Simpson is jealous of Townsend. The truth or falsity of this
information is so important that they are sending their most brilliant intelligence
officer, Stefan Miklos, to investigate. Your mission, Jim, should you decide to
accept it, is to make Stefan believe Townsend's information. As always, should you
or any of your IM Force be caught or killed, the secretary will disavow any knowledge of
your actions. This tape will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Jim.
