To Kill or Not to Kill, 1969

 It was a cold and rainy day.  It was winter time.  The day was Tuesday.  The date was November 26, 1986.  The time was 10:00 in the morning.  A small two-door foreign car stopped at the crossroads of a farm road and a main highway.  A small, but fat old man stepped out of the car.  The man had on an old dark green raincoat with a little hat on his head.  He put a metal box, like that of a tackle box, down on the ground.  He got back into his car and drove off.  An hour later a man in a station-wagon drove up to the crossroads and stopped.  On the car door, there was a sign that says "Red Cross Farm".  The man was tall and broad-shouldered.  He was wearing jeans with a large, husky coat on.  He got out of the car, picked up the metal box, and drove off.
 The same time in Washington, D.C., a meeting is taking place in the White House.  Those attending the meeting are the President, the heads of security for the President, the Treasury Department agents assigned to the president, the leaders of the Secret Service, and officials from the F.B.I.  The meeting is on the subject of security measures for the upcoming trip to the Midwest.  The President is planning a large, open-air, meeting to promote a new project in the Midwest.  The President, Vice-President, and Secretary of Agriculture will be at the meeting in the Midwest.  The President says, "Now, I know this is going to be an open-air meeting, but I do not see why we need to have so many security agents everywhere".  F.B.I. agent William Jefferson, who is the head of the F.B.I.'s work in the Midwest, says, "But Mr. President, there have been a number of shootings in the Midwest lately".
