Roundtable with Tony Mendez and Ben Affleck this Sunday
First, thank you for agreeing to take time out of your weekend to support this effort. We are hoping to
develop a close working relationship with the filmmakers on this project (named 'Argo), and your
knowledge and enthusiasm is instrumental to that process.
We are slated to meet in the Director's Conference Room (OHB at 3pm this Sunday for some
introductions and preliminary discussion about the events surrounding OTS 's involvement of the
exfiltration of 6 Americans from Tehran in 1980. Mr. Affleck is particularly interested in seeing and hearing
about details from the time in question (including the Delta Data systems, pneumatic tubes on display in
the Director's office, etc), so if anyone has any ideas - or visuals! - they could provide, I'm sure it would be
well received.
If you have any questions please reach out to me. Over the weekend you can reach me on my cell:
(b)(6)
Thank you,
