Hello, Mr. President.
You got your report today yet?
Not yet, sir.
Only that they completed the meeting at 7 o'clock their time, which would have been one hour time.
And they will be meeting again tomorrow, and they said they'd have a report coming in to us.
Let's see, one hour time.
They completed it two and a half hours ago then, huh?
That's right.
It usually takes about a couple of hours before we get it, so we should be getting it soon.
All right, fine.
And I'll get it to you immediately so you can bring it over to me at the EOB.
Will do, sir.
Well, there's no indication of any change, perhaps?
No, there'll be tomorrow, and I think every indication is that as we saw it yesterday.
But we shall see as soon as we get through it.
Right.
Fine, thank you.
Yes, sir.
