Dean,
Hi. I hope this note finds you well.
I'm the reporter here at the Times that's been following the Robert Levinson saga.
I am writing because I recently reached an agreement with Farrar, Straus & Giroux to write a
book about it.
As you know, I am not a national security reporter (actually, I usually cover drugs, medical
devices, etc.)
That said, I was hoping to make a visit to the CIA soon so I can describe the building, setting
with some accuracy.
I'd also like to get a generic understanding of some procedural issues that I'll have to address
in the book.
Would this be possible?
Thanks for the consideration.
Regards,
Barry Meier
