Dagney, the secretary for Congressman Orval H. Hansen, regarding an urgent matter. Although the operator initially reported that Hansen was traveling and unreachable until the 10th, the President insisted on bypassing the Congressman to speak directly with his secretary. This exchange reflects the President's immediate need to relay information or seek assistance through the Congressman's office staff.","topics":["Orval H.
