The deputy director picked up the phone. “Brahms here! I want file number Ax 334 446 1968 pulled. It's a Code Yellow. I'll be there at two this afternoon.” Brahms knew that he could have the folder delivered by special armed courier to his office in downtown Washington, a privilege only granted to him and the Director. However, it had always been his policy to abide by the same rules as everybody else. Therefore, he would go over to Langley, to the Document Security Section and review the file there. Besides, it was good for him to make an appearance at headquarters, to be seen by the employees, and talk to them. He maintained another office at Langley, but rarely visited it, preferring to stay in Washington, close to Congress and the White House.
