I am an authorised Greek Interpreter and in that capacity
I was asked to listen to a tape (Exhibit NP/676), and write
a resume of its contents.
[Undisclosed Material]
This tape contains two recordings The first one, is that of
a Male called PAN, who records a message from the Answerphone
of a Female called KAY. This recording is in English.
[Undisclosed Material]
The second recording starts with PAN recording some Electronic
sounds, and continues with a consultation he has with an
unknown Male Doctor (possibly Psychiatrist),
The object of this consultation appears to be PAN's obsession
for his sister-in-law LITSA, Apparently his wife KIKA is aware
of this obsession,
The Doctor tells PAN that this obsession is part of a depressive
illness, and warns him that he cannot have his wife and expect
to have his sister-in-law as a girlfriend at the same time.
PAN then tells the Doctor that for the last six months he has
been getting LITSA on her own and telling her that he wants her,
but she was not interested. PAN claims that his obsession for
LITSA is getting worse. The Doctor tells him that LITSA does not
want him, and all he is doing is "wasting Brain energy" which he
could be using constructively somewhere else.
PAN then tells the Doctor that his aim in life is to "set up an
environment in which he wants to live, and he doesn't feel that
he wants to be without the love of LITSA". Shortly after that,
PAN says to the Doctor, "I can make money. That's my gift. My
gift is talking. Just by talking, I make money. I haven't been
to school. I haven't got a single Degree or Diploma. I haven't
even got an "0" Level or "A" Level. Are you surprised at that?
I got nothing, So. there is no career to hold me This is why
I'm so free. I've been able to move,... to various different
sectors of Industry, in Telephone, into Computers ....
I'm an expert Computer programmer. It took me a year to learn.
I can do the job of ten people in five minutes that it would
take them a week to do, but I don't touch a Computer. I learned
it, I stopped it .... I finished it. I thought, 'This is not
for me .... I sitting in front of a keyboard'. I've been in the
world of Finance, I worked in the City of London. I've worked
with some of the greatest Financiers. I've been in Military and
Defence sales, I moved from one area to another. I've designed
equipment that's won Queen's Awards for Industry ... in England.
I was instrumental for project ALCO[M] with the King of Greece and
the King of Spain when we set. out the new Monarchy .... and
putting all the Security in that, I moved out of that. I was in
Iran when the Shah fell. I met Ayatollah Khomeini, I've met Sadat.
I've met Kissinger. I've been involved in a very very.........."
