And I was recruiting him.

Meanwhile, he was looking to recruit me.

More important was building my commercial cover.

and learning what I had to know about business.

I mean, because I had to understand about exporting, had to understand about what, you know, for example, if I'm in, let's say I was in any Southeast Asian country, say Thailand, and I say I'm exporting something here or I'm buying something here, I need to know what the rules are with regard to tariffs and import restrictions and things like that, because I might well be dealing with a

a Soviet or East European who's a commercial expert.

So he's going to see through me.

So I had to do my homework.

And that was, yeah.

I handed on an economic survey on, I can't remember what it was now.

I didn't write it.

It got written.

AI would write it nowadays, but it got written by people in Langley.

And I handed it off as my work to Vladimir.

Oh, this is just a paper I did for a research paper I did for somebody or something.

And that was kind of just, it was not, it wasn't nothing classified.

It was just.

It looked like I knew a hell of a lot more than I did.

I read it and didn't understand it, but I handed it on.

But building my commercial cover was the hardest part.
