I've got the Assistant Attorney General. Put him on. Good morning. Good morning. This is William Rehnquist from the Office of Legal Counsel. Justice. Yes, sir. Mr. Bradley, I have been advised by the Secretary of Defense that the material published in the Washington Post this morning contains information relating to the national defense of the United States and bears a top secret classification. As such, the publication of this information is directly prohibited by the Espionage Act. Title 18 of the United States Code, Section 793 Publication will cause irreparable injury to the defence interests of the United States. I respectfully request that you published no further information of this character and advised me that you have made arrangements for the return of these documents to the Department of Defense. Well, thank you for the call, Mr Rehnquist, but I'm sure you understand. I must respectfully decline. I appreciate your time. What's next? We're going to court today. If we get a ruling in our favor or the Times does will be the Supreme Court sometime next week.
