"We now call to the stand... James Taylor."
The CIA officer goes to the stand.
"Put your right hand on the Bible."
He obeys.
"Do you solemnly swear that you will tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?"
"I do."
"Mr Taylor, how long have you been in the employ of the Central Intelligence Agency?"
"I've been with the Agency since... since 1950, sir."
"How long have you been working in the Administrative section?"
"Since... since the beginning."
"Your official record confirms that... tell me, Mr Taylor, you're a veteran?"
"Yes, sir, I served in the United States Marine Corps, First Division, Fifth Regiment, and have fought at Guadalcanal."
"Yes, that is true... but, tell me, afterwards, where were you re-assigned?"
"I went with my unit-"
"No, Mr Taylor, you were recommended for "extensive re-training in the field of covert means" by your commander, were you not?"
"I-"
"You were re-assigned to the Office of Strategic Services, and have served on no less than eleven missions through the course of the war."
"That's... that's-"
"This information I have acquired from the Agency... so tell me, when did you join the CIA?"
"I... I joined the Central Intelligence Agency in, er... 1947."
"At it's conception?"
"Yes, sir."
"And how long have you been in Administration."
"Since two years ago, per my request."
"And what did you do beforehand?"
"I served in the Special Activities Division."
"Thank you."
