“I’m sorry if you’ve had your heart set on Fort Bragg, but I’ll expect you to be available to me at 0800 as of Monday next week.”
“I don’t quite understand, sir.”
“My predecessor, who telephoned three times to inquire about you, informed me of the valuable services you rendered him. I would like you to do the same for me.”
Felter paused a moment.
“I’m at your service, of course, Mr. President,” he said.
“Pity we can’t publicize it,” the President said dryly. He rose out of his rocking chair and put out his hand. “I’m up for reelection in only forty-two months, and there’s a lot of Jewish voters out there.”
When Felter didn’t reply, the President said, “That will be all, Colonel Felter. Thank you for coming to see me. Thank you for everything.”
“Thank you, Mr. President.”
