1 harry i dont think we are going to need to look far for our mole and i can not believe it has taken
2 me this long to work it out you are right that alot of staff here spent time in the uk either during
3 the war or working with the ballistic missile experts in their atomic weapons program but you dont
4 easily pickup weird spelling habits like that as an adult you have to have been educated there there
5 is just one person i have spoken to about all this who comes from the uk and that is mike i didnt
6 realise at first his accent is pretty good since he has been here since the mid fifties but as soon
7 as you told me to lookout for someone british i realised that the slight twang that i thought might
8 be bostonian was actually the remnants of an english accent i was also thrown by the fact that his
9 son died in korea but i checked and the brits sent troops to help us out in that conflict and mikes
10 son was one of the raf aviators sent on exchange to the usaf he died during a reconnaissance mission
11 shot down by a korean mig and the file shows that before the carrier lost contact with his plane he
12 reported hearing russian spoken over the radio channels used by the mig pilots mike came to the us
13 for the funeral and never went back he was married but i think his wife stayed in the uk not all
14 marriages can survive something like that mike is still grieving and i guess it has driven him a
15 little madi can see why he is so angry about the possibility that the russians are trying to
16 sabotage apollo flights and i guess he wanted to get the word out i am still a little puzzled though
17 he might be boiling with rage and grief can make you do strange things but i have tried to imagine
18 him writing it and it just doesnt sound like him i guess he was trying to cover his tracks another
19 thing is bothering me too the call for a strike against the russians seems out of proportion given
20 the lack of hard evidence we have that the soviets are behind the attacks either mike knows
21 something we dont or he is prone to jumping to very big conclusions on very little evidence and that
22 does not sound like the profile of a nasa engineer tomei wondered about getting a warrant to
23 checkout his place to see if he has hidden anything there but judges take a dim view of fishing
24 expeditions so i think i may need to be more devious i could really do with having him out of the
25 way for a few days while i search his apartment and make a few enquiries could you call him over to
26 the johnson space centre in texas an alternative would be huntsville alabama but i feel very uneasy
27 about inviting him up there now that we know he is a security risk if i find anything more i will
28 let you know otherwise i will move back to the sabotage investigation like you asked meg
