Operator, on that call to Rebozo, if you can't get it now, I better cancel it.
Well, I got the report that he had just left that office, and they're going to give me another number where I can reach him or try to reach him.
Fine.
I'll tell you.
I'll try it tonight.
I think he'll be with Mr. Applenau or something, okay?
All right.
Thank you.
Thank you.
