Directions for the Missions
Mission 1
Mission 3
Read Section 39.2 carefully, noting important details
that might help you complete this mission.
Read Section 39.4 carefully, noting important details
that might help you complete this mission.
You will now receive information on the location of
the briefing materials for your first mission. Once you
know where this “dead drop” is, do the following:
• Have one partner retrieve the document from the
dead drop. Stop at a few “false” locations on the
way there and back to confuse anyone who may
be watching.
• At the same time, have the other partner go to a
decoy location to confuse any onlookers.
• Both of you should take a few sheets of paper
with you so that it will not be obvious when one
of you retrieves the real briefing materials.
CIA officials have received a tip that your classroom
may contain hidden recording devices that are being
monitored by Soviet spies. To obtain this briefing,
you must locate one of the people in the room who
have the briefing materials and execute a “brush
pass” by doing the following:
• Take a scrap piece of paper from your notebook.
• You and your partner should each quietly approach
one classmate at a time and whisper the password
pelicans. The designated agents will respond with
the password seagulls. Very subtly, to avoid detection by hidden cameras or microphones, exchange
your scrap paper for one of their handouts.
• Continue to mingle with your classmates until you
receive the signal to return to your seat.
Consult Notebook Guide 39 to complete your
Reading Notes for Section 39.2.
Mission 2
Read Section 39.3 carefully, noting important details
that might help you complete this mission.
CIA officials are concerned about a “mole” among
your members. The location of the briefing materials
for your second Cold War mission has been encoded
to ensure that only authorized operatives will find it.
To receive your next briefing, do the following:
• Have one partner go to one of the locations where
the coded message is posted and copy the code
onto a sheet of paper.
• Within the given time limit, decode the message
to determine the location of the briefing materials.
• When you receive the signal, have the second
partner retrieve the document. Stop at a few
“false” locations on the way there and back to
confuse onlookers.
Consult Notebook Guide 39 to complete your
Reading Notes for Section 39.4.
Mission 4
Read Sections 39.5 and 39.6 carefully, noting
important details that might help you complete
this mission.
You will now be given the top secret briefing materials
for your fourth Cold War mission. When you receive
them, use your training in “flaps and seals,” as well
as tools from your backpack, to make an undetectable
opening of the envelope.

Reading Notes for Sections 39.5 and 39.6.
