The weather is okay probably till 530 or so then it'll start closing and it'll get touch-and-go as it gets later in the evening.
With that in mind you might want to move Schechter up to 430 so that you can get out.
Unless you have something else you want to do after the signing ceremony?
No, I think that's all right.
You can have him at 4.30, yeah.
Just tell him to be available after that.
Right.
Tell him we don't know what the situation's going to be.
Right.
But if he could be available from 4.30 on.
Okay, sure.
