TRANSCRIPTION FROM TAPE RECORDING FTC-1JUN68-EHM-29L. Premises of Fun City Electronic Supply & Repair Co., Inc., 1975 Avenue D, New York.

ANDERSON: Professor?

MANN: Yes.

ANDERSON: Duke. Your phone clean?

MANN: Of course.

ANDERSON: I have your drivers.

MANN: Drivers? More than one?

ANDERSON: Two brothers.

MANN: This is necessary?

ANDERSON: They’re a team. Professionals. No sweat. They’ll sit there for three hours tops.

MANN: Plenty. More than plenty. I’ll be out in one.

ANDERSON: Good. When?

MANN: Precisely nine forty-five A.M., on the morning of June fourth.

ANDERSON: That’s next Tuesday morning? Correct?

MANN: Correct.

ANDERSON: Where?

MANN: On the northwest corner of Seventy-ninth Street and Lexington Avenue. I shall be wearing a light tan raincoat and carrying a small black suitcase. I shall be wearing no hat. You have that?

ANDERSON: Yes, I have it.

MANN: Duke, the two men … is it necessary?

ANDERSON: I told you, they’re a team. The old one drives. The young one is strictly muscle.

MANN: Why should muscle be necessary?

ANDERSON: It won’t be, Professor. The kid’s a little light in the head. His brother takes care of him. The kid needs to be with him. You understand?

MANN: No.

ANDERSON: Professor, the two will sit in the truck and wait for you. There will be no trouble. There will be no need for muscle. Everything will go well.

[Lapse of six seconds.]

MANN: Very well.

ANDERSON: I’ll call you on Wednesday, June fifth, and we’ll set up a meet.

MANN: As you wish.
