There are no numbers for you to read on the third floor. There are numbers assigned on the schematic which reference special things on the third floor, that we are unable to detect these is fine.

And as you go deeper and deeper, ask yourself, are these activities threatened in any way. Do this now.

Source stated substantially as follows: On the third floor were modern offices with many glass partitions. From an elevator, a hallway led through a glass entryway into a big reception room in the center of the third floor. The reception room served as a "focal point' for access to offices on the left and right. Within the third floor area was a small, specially built room which was different from the other offices. This room had thick walls, no windows, and controlled access. Source believed the key for this room was maintained in a container in another room. Source believed that this room contained communications equipment. Source identified the activities on the third floor as "our activities". The activity was government related. Source compared his overall impression of the third floor area to that of a consulate office. In the small, specially built room was an individual "punching out communication messages, on an apparatus that resembles a keyboard, typewriter type keyboard". Source reported concern over the emanation of signals from this apparatus as well as concern over an inch thick cable associated with the small, specially built room (TEMPEST concept). When questioned concerning a possible intelligence threat to the third floor, Source reported that all was now secure. He saw no threat and no intercept. Source reported an absence of any efforts against the people or the activities on the third floor.
