In November, [[Mr. Thompson]], the [[President of the United States]], announced that he would deliver a "report on the world crisis" on November 22, on every radio and [[television]] station. On that night, Jim asked her to accompany him to the New York broadcasting station (probably [[Madison Square Garden]]) where Mr. Thompson was to deliver his speech. [[Eddie Willers]] accompanied her, and she noticed several Washington men present, including, oddly enough, [[Robert Stadler]].

Dagny announced her refusal to participate, but before anyone could say anything about compelling her to participate, the broadcast engineers announced that every frequency was suddenly jammed, and that Mr. Thompson could not get on the air. Mr. Thompson started threatening to fire everyone in sight, and then everyone present heard a man's voice:{{cquote|Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Thompson will not be speaking to you tonight.

Dagny recognized that voice immediately as that of John Galt. She noticed that Robert Stadler and Eddie Willers recognized that voice also. Robert Stadler she could understand, because Hugh Akston had told Dagny all about John Galt's former relationship with Stadler, and how it had soured when Stadler had endorsed the establishment of the [[State Science Institute]] that he supposedly headed. But why Eddie Willers should recognize John Galt's voice remained a mystery for now.
