This year, it cannot be changed in terms of some other problems.
Yeah, it's quite good.
It has to be set here for support and all of these things.
I have no objection to you working on submitting a letter to America if I realize that this NFC stuff is a little more technical than the rest, but you've got to change the two responsibilities.
You see what I mean?
You can't put them in the same sentence.
But that's very carefully worded, and it can't be changed a hell of a lot.
What do you want to do to take this paragraph?
Take this copy and... Has she... Oh, that's fine.
Tell her to retype it.
Read and copy with those two changes.
And then you can work on this so that tomorrow.
Yeah.
No hurry.
Don't take a half hour.
But I try to say you've got to keep up with the sun.
Really?
Well, it has to be in the same...
It has to say the same thing.
I'll be very careful with that.
I thought I had to read the paragraph twice before I really got it.
Well, what we really were going to do was put it exactly the way I said it over there at the conference.
Let me get that language.
But we can't do that because it's got to be slightly different.
I changed some of it already.
I don't know.
I don't mind.
I don't know what you want on that one.
I won't bother with it.
I don't know if it's another thing.
Have a copy.
Have Rosalie just send up the retitled...
They are spoilings.
Oh, sure, sure.
They're fine.
But have her continue to take that one.
We can work on what you want to do.
