Good morning, Mr. Phelps. For the past twenty-five years this country has depende on
the friendship of Kuala Rokat, a small but strtrgic nation on the China-Indian border.
This is the imperial seal of Kuala Rokat: a priceless, two-thousand-year-old jade
figure on a golden rope. Two weeks ago it turned up in the art collection of the
famous American industrialist J. Richard Taggart. Yesterday our government, on
behalf of Kuala Rokat, requested that Taggart return the stolen jade to its rightful
owners, who regard the seal as sacred. Taggart has refused and there appears to be
no legal way he can be compelled to do so, despite the fact that his refusal will undo
years of diplomacy and drive Kuala Rokat into the Communist camp. Your mission, Jim,
should you decide to accept it, is to get the imperial seal so that it may be returned to
Kuala Rokat. As always, should you or any of your IM Force be caught or killed, the
secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. Please destroy this tape in
the usual manner. Good luck, Jim.
