I knew it was young Vito to either Pete or Sal regarding the creation of a "pad" for police and politicians as the Corleone crime empire was being first set up, but I didn't have the book in front of me until just now to see which one it was, and make up a new question.
OK, it was neither. It was Vito to his lawyer, who was apologizing that expenses for police and judicial protection were so high.
