Operator, would you check to see if Mr. Helms is...
I know he's out of the city, but would you check to see...
I know he's out of the city, but if he's out of the country, I don't want to talk to him on an open line, but if he's on a line...
that he can be talked to, I will talk to him, okay?
And it was who, sir?
The director, Helm, CIA.
Oh, yes, sir.
And just call me back if he's out of the city.
I need to know.
I mean, if he can't be talked to by phone, it's perfectly all right, but I just want to know.
All right.
Thanks, sir.
