"Thank you for your participation," he said, shaking hands all round. "Congratulations on your independence, Monseigneur," replied Warrant Officer Ralph McCullough, the group's senior member. "You are very kind," said Sihanouk. "Thank you very much." Then, after a two-hour bus tour of the capital, the men were treated to lunch at La Taverne, one of the city's finest French restaurants.
