it's kind of william intrepid stephenson, and he's overseeing things. but the person who kunio also becomes friendly with is ian and ian fleming is a very different guy that ernest. ernest, it's like a it's like a moving refrigerator. that's how big he is. he's a former football player, whereas ian fleming is a sophisticated guy, a very creative guy. if you've been to broadway recently, i just saw operation mincemeat, which was a real life spy operation where they used a corpse to fool, the hitler's forces into thinking that that the invasion in italy, the allied invasion of italy take place in one place. and and trying to throw them off successfully. but he also came later on with james bond. and so ian fleming and ernest cooney became really friends at the beginning of the war. and remained friends even after the war in a way that i will talk about in a moment. the desire for fame that cuneo had as a football player, a young man, he realized, though, as he worked more and more for fdr and then especially as he becomes this agent dealing with churchill

and stephenson was a brilliant spy. he was doing three things at rockefeller center. he first goes to hoover and to get permission the very outset, when churchill wants do this and hoover says, okay, if want to set up this spy operation and at rockefeller center and you say that your main purpose is just to keep the spy excuse the supply lines open between the united states and europe britain's at war it's desperate that they have open supply lines and you have the waters of the atlantic are filled with nazi submarines and ships just waiting to disrupt this the lines and also there the problem of nazi spies in the united states and whether or not they were influencing influencing things. so hoover says okay. fine with me if you put this operation up on center, if you get the okay of the president and they say, how do you do? he said, well, i think your best bet is to go through sky. we know that. i know hoover. his name is. and so go to cuneo, explain the situation and the white house says, yes, we should get involved. this is okay. but ernest, tell your it you're goi

so stephenson was out in the field and he was out in the field a lot. stephenson again was the head british spy at rockefeller center when he was out, the guy who was really running things with dickie ellis. dickie ellis was involved with camp x, which was the training ground along the canadian border, where the british were training their spies to kill people and actually the ss, which is organization that eventually ernest cuneo is part of, he's like the liaison for the ss. they train up at camp x. dickie isn't keeping eye on that, but when they form the ss, as i mentioned before, america did not have a spy agency. and so when roosevelt creates the office of strategic services, who him put it together? well, one is ian fleming, but the other person helps him a lot, helps create the ss and advises on everything is dickie ellis. and at one point hoover said, you know, there's something about ellis. we don't like. you should get rid of him. and the brits said to cooney, look, you've got to vouch for him. you got to vouch for dickie. and so ernest cuneo d

i am i have come around with the responses about you know there are some cases like on stephenson street office lobby, it's not a great retail location. this happens in the c three district and i think i would i would never support offices as on the ground floor if not for the fact that this is a 20 that has the 2030 expiration. so after that anyone else trying to come in and do that wouldn't require the conditional use authorization and i would be reluctant reluctant to approve that that point forward. but i take the point that we have all this vacancy and there's office vacancy in the upper floors too. but still the flexibility could be really helpful. so i, i had to think long and hard about the office on the ground floor but i'm comfortable supporting it with the 2030 timeline. the other issue i want to tackle is um, you know i have a concern about recommendation for staff modification for uh christian apparel already addressed the like for b portion of that which is about allowing principally long i'll use as an historic landmark buildings i'm okay with for b the other piece that i'
