Since it’s been used once.

TAYLOR:.....then the whole situation will change.
will happen certainly within two ycars.

I think that

ROOT: 1! remember after the release of the Bravo infcrmation
there was a great fear that nuclear weapons might be brought in
secretly. A lot of regulations were passed for tightened inspection,
The FBI issued directives about examining all luggage coming into

room for them, which ones do you shoot? | mean only the ones that
are over 65?
WARREN:
tion,

Yes.

It would be a good idea to re-examine the situa-
