I wanted to know that he sent the message the day of the crash, but I just told Senator, I told Senator John Preston that my heart is tender to you and Hothill and so on and so forth.

It had been bugging me a lot.

The one thing I wanted to tell you too is that I, Hothill was there last night, and I told people around here, and this is going to be something we play very close to the feds,

But I am being ruthless on one thing.

Any activities that we possibly can should be placed in Southern California, in this field, and also in the safety of water people.

You know, we need the jobs.

We need to stop those aircraft workers.

We're going to do a couple of new things on water, for example.

I've decided to throw one big plant in Southern California.

I mean, you know, a big, one that's no money.

You know what I mean.

It's just a question of how big the plant is.

And this will be one to go there.

But it is energy, people.

And I've told Dr. David and, of course, Seabart and Rast to be good.

So on the committee, every time you have a chance, kneel and say, where's this going to be?

I didn't want you to know, but I wanted you to know that I was aware of your interest.

I knew you were out in California at the time of the meeting.

Well, if you talk, you might say that I know and find out that it's a bipartisan entity.

But the problem is that there are two things.

The problem of more energy is bipartisan.

And the problem of a clean environment, a clean source of energy, is bipartisan.

And this is something that we're going to work together on.

Okay?

All right.
