Transcript

ever since the Los Angeles F.B.I moved into a fancy new office building in an even fancier part of Los Angeles, their accomplishments, as chronicled by the news media, have been almost nil. I don't think that the image that the F.B.I. is trying to promote for themselves (that of the Chamber of Commerce type of businessman) is too conducive to luring informers out of their ratholes, nor would one think that the agent who attends black-tie dinners looks forward to spending his working days going into the seamier parts of Los Angeles to apprehend some dangerous and armed man. However, I'm sure that the F.B.I. can survive without my advice

Sincerely yours,
