Well, did you finish your day?
I just finished my bra hair and everything else.
Oh, good.
Good, good, good, good.
Uh, I just got a call from Henry.
He said it fits into your thing too.
And I asked him, he said the fellow wants to leave Sunday.
and spend the night at Camp David.
He wants to take his speech Thursday at Camp David, which is currently on our inventory.
And Thursday, Camp David will be running that.
And I've decided that the big, the big one should be Friday, because we just haven't got the facility up there.
There are a couple of final ones we can announce Saturday.
uh, the one for the first one was the economic one, Schultz, the fellow that was signed, and that was the one that was signed, and Rodney was signed, and the two of them, Rodney and Nico, and, uh, and, uh, and, uh, and, uh, and, uh, and, uh, and, uh, and, uh, and, uh, and, uh, and, uh, and, uh, and, uh,

Sound all right?
All right.
So there's a couple of mines.

He didn't get a roof to go on the plane.
He went out to a couple of mines.
The community will come out on Monday.

Well, we'll just let him just take a minute of time.
We are very desperate.
But if they do, they do.
There will be some controversy.
The real question is what works.
If it works, it works.
But the general reaction to the
economic things have to be positive, in my opinion, rather than things that I still feel like.
Well, we could have, we could have started on at least six people and one of these people.
I, uh,
Your meeting is going to go on.
You're going to stay there quite a while.
All right.
Good.
Good.
Well, I'll close the time.
Okay?
Bye.
