[2:57:27] The test center said the question, that you have to put it in projection. [2:57:40] That's right. [2:57:46] Unless you have something you want me to write on anywhere. [2:57:50] And we need to take out the word company. [2:57:54] I have to get your company. [2:57:58] No, that isn't supposed to be here. [2:58:06] Oh, I see. [2:58:06] But you're going to say it more. [2:58:10] OK, all right. [2:58:11] It's not in the public text. [2:58:13] Not in this text. [2:58:13] They aren't supposed to see that. [2:58:16] Well, that is public. [2:58:25] I'll take those pages out for you. [2:58:30] One of them will be in the menu. [2:58:44] I could probably go in a meeting and have him step out and call you. [2:58:48] Or have lunch with you. [2:58:51] Yeah, I'd better tell you to call him. [2:59:02] Would you go in that meeting and have Al, hey, step out and call Senator? [2:59:26] On November 17th, just three days before, November 20th, yeah. [2:59:29] Well, that's pretty much it. [2:59:52] With regard to this thing he wants to put out there, when he says he was willing to begin implementing certain military aspects while negotiating the situation and the implementation of other issues, he means there, if not, is that he would be willing to begin implementing certain military aspects such as the withdrawal of our forces and the escape and the release from the war and the war. [3:00:23] I had quite a question, but I didn't have any reason for not saying that. [3:00:27] Willing to begin with, there is the right way in which we need to be willing to begin from any certain number of factors, such as withdrawal, enforcement, and return to prison before, while negotiations continue in the face of other issues, such as the people who are in our department, or the law enforcement, etc. [3:00:46] But the point that I ask is whether or not I can say that we would be willing to begin from any certain military aspects,
