RE: CMDR. LEE CRANE
WHILE WE MAINTAIN CRANE
AS ON-CALL, WE HAVE RECEIVED PRESIDENTIAL APPROVAL TO CONTINUE IN OUR EFFORTS TO INFLUENCE CRANE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN NELSON
OR THE AGENCY FULL TIME. BUT THE PROMOTION TO ADMIRAL IS OUT.
HAVE ALSO RECEIVED PRESIDENTIAL
APPROVAL TO CITE THE COMMANDER FOR INSUBORDINATION ON HIS OFFICIAL RECORD. GOD
HELP US WHEN NELSON FINDS OUT. BUT AT LEAST WE STILL HAVE OUR MAN, ON-CALL ANYWAY.
