00:00 And that's what we're looking for.
00:12 We're going to complete the construction in about five years.
00:16 Test and checkout will take one more year and we'll begin commercial operations almost seven years from today.
00:23 So, it's a pretty ambitious program, but that's what we're looking forward to.
00:28 I'd like to introduce the other people you'll be hearing from today
00:33 First, our hero from the House of Representatives
00:36 Marilyn, you all know Marilyn
00:40 And she's going to have a few words to say to you And we couldn't find a better representative
00:45 Or a greater person to represent us than you, Marilyn We're lucky to be one of the few cities in the country
00:57 that can afford two mayors.
00:59 I think that's because we don't pay either of them any time.
01:04 We're looking forward to working with the mayor of Oak Ridge, Roy Pruitt.
01:08 Roy is new on the job, and we're looking forward to developing the same kind of relationship with Roy that we have had so long
01:15 with the former mayor of Oak Ridge, Al Bissell.
01:19 Al is probably the original breeder backer
01:22 and still one of our most vocal and effective speakers on the project.
01:27 Next, John Holliday, the President of the Building Trades Council.
01:32 John, I think, you know, we do have arguments about how long it's going to take to build this plant.
01:39 And one of our strongest arguments is the quality and the productivity of the workforce.
01:46 And that is a real plus, and what's been done in this last less than a year
01:51 attest to the capability of the workforce that's available here in East Tennessee
01:58 and their dedication to do quality work.
02:01 We're looking forward, as a matter of fact, to getting a workforce out here of about 4,000 people in a few years.
02:08 Joe Legrone, our manager of Oak Ridge Operations.
02:12 There's Joe.
02:15 Joe's been involved in the CRBR a long time before he came to Oak Ridge to be our manager,
02:21 And he's sure been involved here. He's given us some key nudges and some key help and some key decisions when we really needed it to keep things going.
02:30 Bill Rolfe. There's Bill. General Manager of the Project Management Corporation.
02:37 There's some other guests here today that I'd like to recognize. We have several members of the state legislature.
02:44 and they've always given sound support every time we've there's been the opportunity to
02:50 come up with a petition or anything and to back the project
02:54 it's been a unanimous thing i've seen senator victor ash here this morning
02:59 i haven't his buzz here buzz elkin's buzz was going to try to make it but i haven't seen him
03:07 state representatives ben actually pete drew i don't know whether pete made it or not he was
03:13 gonna try. Uh Randy McNally is Randy here.
03:20 Bill Owen Tom Wheeler and Ted Ray Miller.
03:26 The Oak Ridge City Council members.
03:30 I've seen eh up the
03:34 there is John Brian haven't seen John. John's kind of hard to miss.
03:38 Harold Jernigan I've seen Harold
03:42 Wilson Pitt, David Thomas
03:45 Elaine Trotter, I've seen Elaine this morning John Holt
03:51 Ben Adams back in the back Ben's a big man in every way and he's a big help
03:57 in any role he has to play and Ben helped us a lot in putting this
04:01 open house together today last but not least
04:07 I would like to introduce to you some of the people from our contractor management organization.
04:15 Before I do that, let me say that following the events here, we will be going back to the K-25 site
04:23 and hearing from a few experts back there, and a couple of those experts that I want you to hear from are here.
04:29 John Wagner, he's our expert on alternate financing.
04:33 John's been one of our Washington Connections and our Washington Connection on alternate financing,
04:38 and he has really worked hard to support that effort,
04:41 and that's the effort that's so solely needed for the project.
04:45 Dr. Charlie Fox, our self-generating dynamo and head of the engineering program for the project.
04:52 But now to our contractors.
04:54 Henry Morgan, Hank Morgan, the CRBRP project manager for Stone & Webster.
05:00 Hank's had a big job.
05:02 As a matter of fact, he's had a big job in the past few days just getting this site to look good, and it looks great, Hank.
05:08 And the fun is just starting for us.
05:13 Bill Purcell, Westinghouse Electric Company, project manager here in Oak Ridge.
05:20 Glad to have Bill Young from Orodale, New Jersey, from Burns and Rowe, our balance of plant architect engineer.
05:28 I haven't seen Ray Bealey from AI. Is Ray here?
05:32 Ray had to come in from the west coast and will probably be a little bit late getting here.
05:39 I'd now like to ask Bill Roloff to say a few words about the project
05:44 and to welcome you from the Brutal Reactor Corporation. Bill.
05:55 Well, on behalf of the nation's electric utility systems,
06:00 I'd like to welcome you here.
06:03 The 753 electric utility systems around this great country of ours,
06:11 all around this country, are solidly behind this project.
06:16 And they have been for the last 11 years supporting it financially and with people
06:23 to get us to the point where we stand today at this point in time.
06:28 Now, we've had some ups and downs, but as Per said, from here it's up.
06:34 And I'd like to welcome you here to celebrate and enjoy this activity with us today.
06:43 And I think we can't have our celebration without hearing a few words from our mayors.
06:53 And I think we'll start with the newest mayor and have him say a few words for us.
07:01 And then we'll hear from Al Roy.
07:07 Bill asked me to keep my remarks to about a minute.
07:10 And like Al Bissell, I probably couldn't say good morning.
07:14 It's my very happy task to represent the city of Oak Ridge here today.
07:18 And on behalf of the council, the staff of the City of Oak Ridge, and the Oak Ridgers,
07:23 we're very pleased to help you celebrate this day.
07:26 And we wish you a very successful day and a very successful early completion to this project.
07:35 Thanks, Roy.
07:37 And, of course, for the last 11 years that I've been associated with the project,
07:42 We've been hearing from our esteemed mayor, and we just can't get by without having him say a few more words with us today to help us celebrate.
07:53 Come on over here.
07:59 Well, thank you very much, Bill, and good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
08:04 I've waited 11 years for this, along with a lot of other people.
08:12 This is quite nostalgic to me, ladies and gentlemen, to see this processing going on.
08:20 It reminds me of when they started Norris Dam, Purse, Joe, Bill.
08:28 I don't know whether anybody's old enough besides Horace Wells to remember that but me.
08:36 And Horace was very small and young then.
08:40 Where are you, Horace? Are you here?
08:42 Yeah, well, it's good to see you, Horace. I got your name in, as I promised.
08:50 I want to say, ladies and gentlemen, that I hope that this is another pioneering activity or project, the same as was true with the TVA, the same as was true with Oak Ridge in general.
09:09 I remember so well when TVA started, so well when I came here in February of 43 and watched Oak Ridge get started.
09:20 We're noted for being first and foremost and pioneers, and I hope the same will be true here.
09:31 Do we dare to be pioneers again, ladies and gentlemen?
09:36 Do we dare to be bold?
09:37 I hope so. And I hope we're doing it with the beginning of this project. And I hope we move forward so that I live long enough to see it finished. Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.
09:53 Thank you Mayor Bissell
10:00 Before I introduce Joe Legron I ought to explain a little bit
10:04 What all these rock bolts are Since we're going to ask Maryland to tighten one of them
10:08 You see we have a sheer face of rock
10:11 The gray rock is limestone And the rock underneath is siltstone
10:16 And that's what the foundation of the radar Or the CRBR will be built on
10:20 uh it was cheaper for us to leave the face vertical and it would have been to excavate
10:25 the whole back so when we left it vertical we had to make sure it was properly secured so
10:32 none of it would fall in and we'd have safety with the workers so each of these rock bolts
10:37 is between 20 and 35 feet long they go back into solid rock they're uh cemented in there
10:44 and then torqued up tight to hold the rock together.
10:48 And we drop over the face of it then the wire to secure any small pieces that might drop off.
10:54 So you'll know what the rock bolting is all about.
10:57 Now I'd like to introduce again the manager of Oak Ridge Operations Office,
11:02 who is a true breeder backer, Joe LeGrone.
11:10 Thank you, Percy, and good morning.
11:11 I should clarify for those of you who may think that I am a relative newcomer to the
11:15 breeder project that I am probably one of the real survivors.
11:20 In fact, on the federal side of the house, my association with this project exceeds anyone,
11:25 including those in Washington.
11:28 I was a part of the original negotiation team which selected the lead reactor manufacturer
11:32 back in the early 70s for this project and also served on the board that negotiated the
11:36 arrangement with Commonwealth Edison and TVA, ultimately the formation of PMC and the BRC.
11:44 We negotiated in Chattanooga, Knoxville, Nashville, Chicago, Washington – wherever we could
11:48 find tables that were square, oval, whatever shape to accommodate the whims of the parties
11:53 at the time.
11:56 We generated enough drafts to fill up most of this hole.
12:01 Believe me, I wrote most of the words.
12:03 I'm delighted to see this project so far along and that now we have something to look
12:07 at beyond a lot of paper.
12:10 It is my distinct pleasure to have the opportunity today to introduce Congresswoman Marilyn Lloyd.
12:15 As you all know, she has been an active supporter of energy development and the advancement
12:19 of energy and technology and science in this country in her role as a congresswoman and
12:24 member of the House Science Technology Committee.
12:26 Marilyn, this helmet that we're going to give you today is not only a token of appreciation
12:33 for what you've done in support of Clinch River, but it also may be of some assistance
12:37 as you and others try to guide this project through the Congress in the next few weeks
12:41 ahead.
12:48 Now that you have one piece of equipment, you're ready to help us complete another
12:52 milestone in this project.
12:54 There are 2,200 of these large rock bolts.
12:58 Don't ask me what they cost.
13:00 I don't think you want to hear that.
13:02 But your job, with the assistance of some others, is to tighten the final rock bolt.
13:08 And so if we can proceed over to that area now.
13:11 Marilyn.
13:12 Hold on to this thing here.
13:17 How many helpers are we going to have here?
13:25 Mayor?
13:26 Come on.
13:27 There you go.
13:28 We want to see your face.
13:29 that's just a small little effort
13:51 you're not true
13:55 I thought we did a good job
13:59 You get paid time and a half for this.
14:01 Oh, sorry.
14:07 I think that got it.
14:10 Very good.
14:11 Super job.
14:16 I think I have to wear this next Thursday.
14:24 Good.
14:25 Well, that was just a little bit of work compared to all the work that Marilyn's done for us.
14:31 That's just a very small amount, that moving of that rock boat, for all the work that she's done for it before.
14:36 And so we have a few more little mementos that we'd like to present here
14:41 to honor all of that work that she's done for us.
14:45 And I'd like to introduce Ray Copeland, my assistant here in the utility effort on the project
14:52 and Percy's assistant.
14:54 with myself in this team effort to get the job done.
14:59 Ray Copeland is part of the utility team and part of the project office,
15:04 the clincher project office, as I am, in working and managing and engineering this effort.
15:09 And I'd like to have Ray, who's been with the project as long as any of us also,
15:16 almost as long as Joe Legrone, but maybe a month or two short in the 72 timeframe.
15:23 But Ray, I'll let you do the honor here with Marilyn.
15:27 Okay, thank you very much, Bill.
15:33 Obviously, people have already mentioned Marilyn's dedication.
15:38 I think when you say dedication, you also need to say perseverance, too, Marilyn,
15:43 because obviously you've been the steady guiding light throughout the many years.
15:48 We wanted to do something special for you today.
15:51 Of course, we can't give you anything that represents all of that effort,
15:54 but our concrete batch plant is operational and has made some concrete.
15:59 We've developed a plaque which includes part of the first concrete that was produced by that batch plant,
16:07 and we've prepared a plaque that says to Marilyn Lloyd,
16:10 in grateful appreciation for your steadfast dedication and support of American energy independence
16:17 through development of the Clinch River Breeder Reactor Plant Project.
16:25 We'd like to present that to you.
16:33 Thank you very much, Ray.
16:35 Thank you so very much.
16:37 Thank you, Ray.
16:39 Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, all of you that are here today and all the workers up there,
16:43 it is a little bit nostalgic isn't it mr mayor but i thank you for all the nice things you've
16:52 done the nice things that you've said today but truly what i see here is really all the reward
16:58 that you need for working hard in something that you believe in as much as we believe in
17:03 clinch river and certainly no one person could undertake a task as complex as what you see here
17:12 And as difficult as a political battle has been in Washington, all of you here have faced battles also as we work toward our goal.
17:23 And I think, first of all, you have to recognize that the talented men and women that have been involved in this longer than I have really deserve the credit for what we see here today.
17:34 Because if Clinch River were not technically sound, certainly we couldn't have made the progress that we have.
17:41 Next, we have the members of the scientific and engineering community
17:46 who have also believed in this technology.
17:50 They have certainly been willing to argue persuasively and very persistently for Clinch River.
17:57 The Department of Energy has always stood behind us,
18:01 even when those in the top positions have not been.
18:05 It is always possible to find someone in DOE
18:08 who would provide us with the answers and the help that we needed.
18:13 And then, of course, over the past years,
18:16 we've seen a wonderful support that we've seen in the Congress.
18:21 Howard Baker, Jim Sasser, Mike McCormick, Bill Rowe, Bob Rowe,
18:26 the list could go on and on.
18:28 But, in fact, I hope that we have a great big list
18:31 in the next 30 days of all those who have continued to support us,
18:35 and we'll reply back on that as well.
18:38 But today we are celebrating the high point so far of the CRBR project.
18:44 And I can certainly look back with gratitude for all the work that all of you have done and that we've accomplished.
18:52 But I will also want to look forward to the time that we can actually begin our construction
18:58 and then, of course, the full operation of America's most significant electric energy source of the future.
19:06 and this is our breeder reactor is in the case in any struggle anything that's really worthwhile we
19:16 have achieved both success and certainly everyone knows here that we've encountered major setbacks
19:22 and I think I would be very naive if I stood here before you today and didn't tell you that we have
19:29 still have a very uphill battle ahead of us and I know that and I hope that all of you here know it
19:35 as well. But I think that we do have the very best of an argument and I think that a lot
19:41 of the credit of this goes to the hard work of Shelby Brewer and others, Jola Grone and
19:46 others at the Department of Utility Industry.
19:49 I can't list all of your names because I'd leave out half of you because there are so
19:52 many that have worked so hard on this, but all of you know what you've done for Clinch
19:56 River.
19:58 I think we have a very constructive alternative financing package. We certainly thank you.
20:04 And I think that this is what we need to put the political battle behind us
20:09 and certainly move forward with our construction.
20:12 But I would ask every one of you here, I would implore you to please don't let down now,
20:21 not even the slightest of your efforts in the weeks coming, because your support and your help is going to be so much more important in the next few weeks
20:31 than it has ever been in this project.
20:34 I will go back to Washington Tuesdays, and Tuesday we will start with our hearing on Thursday.
20:40 It's going to be a good hearing, and it certainly will mark the opening of what will be the final round
20:47 of the congressional debate on the future of Clinch River.
20:52 But however this year's battle turns out, I really believe that we have a great, great chance to win.
21:00 But whatever the outcome may be, I'm honored and I'm proud to be a part of the Clinch River Battle.
21:08 And I'm very happy to have the friendship and the support of all of you that are here today.
21:14 And I know that Congress will see that certainly this is a worthwhile project, the right project,
21:22 and they're going to see the wisdom of our commitment
21:26 to a safe and secure
21:29 energy source for the future thank you so very much for being here
21:34 for letting me share and be a part of this and I'm so very
21:40 very grateful and God bless you all
21:52 Marilyn, thank you so much.
21:53 We wouldn't be here without you.
21:55 Now, we're going to break up here in just a minute and go back to the K25 site.
22:01 And the people that are here will be available to talk to any of you in the press
22:05 who would like to ask questions or anything.
22:08 Let me just say in closing a couple things.
22:12 We don't let people out at the site here too often because this is a terribly active place.
22:18 We've got rock buggies and dozers and all kinds of equipment going all the time.
22:23 We'd like to invite you out casually, but we just can't do that.
22:26 The Perini Corporation, who has had the site preparation job, have done a terrific job for us,
22:31 but they aren't traffic directors for casual observers, so we just won't be able to open the site up too often.
22:38 But we do know the interest of the community, and that's why we wanted to give you the opportunity today.
22:42 We are in a position and will be in a position to start placing the safety-related concrete in December.
22:49 That's been quite a chore to get there, but we are there, and we're going to put about 16 foot of concrete right on this bedrock
22:56 as we start to bring the Clinch River Breeder Reactor Plant.
22:59 The only way it can go now is up.
23:02 That concludes our meeting here, and we'll see you back at K25.
23:06 Thank you for coming.
23:42 I'm going to leave.
23:43 Come on.
23:44 We're getting there.
23:58 Okay.
23:59 Come on, Maryland.
24:03 Just one more.
24:04 Two more.
24:05 Just one more.
25:11 I think there's been a lot of misunderstanding about what Pledge River really stands for,
25:32 what is its purpose, objective, as well as the need to move ahead with the breeder project.
25:39 I think we'll have a better understanding and certainly more members have really recognized the need for this source of energy for the free energy.
25:52 It's a good plan. I think it's a plan that we can sell.
25:56 We had some very good grassroots that was going on during the recess that I hope will be successful.
26:02 We've had labor backing. We've had the Chamber of Commerce backing.
26:05 I think we've had backing of so many very fine civic organizations and groups that I
26:13 think will really turn the tide for this country this time.
26:16 And the good, sound financial package, one that I'm proud of, certainly is very plausible
26:22 and very reasonable.
26:23 Of course, we have to realize that the political ratcheting has really been the reason for
26:29 the reason for the cost of overruns is the river.
26:32 And most of the costs where you would experience an overrun,
26:36 such as your engineering, have been completed.
26:39 So the basic parts of the project that wouldn't involve any cost overruns
26:44 are done.
26:46 So we're on a sound footing right now, and I'm very enthusiastic.
26:50 Can we look for a vote in the next few weeks?
26:52 I think that we'll have the hearings, of course, next week.
26:56 I think it would certainly be in the last September before we will actually get to our vote.
27:01 This is a House vote, not a Senate vote.
27:03 I think first of all, we will have to know the votes.
27:06 And I understand it's in the Senate, but the hearings will be in my defense.
27:11 If either House votes no, what happens? Do you want to comment?
27:14 Well, we're going to win. We're going to have to vote.
27:17 So we're not looking to target?
27:19 No, we're going to win. And if it's going to be a good victory, and if you think it's going to be close,
27:25 because of the pressure from the drought later in the week and the life.
27:32 It's really someone's been hard on.
27:33 But basically, I think it's been a lack of understanding of really what 건�kering is all about.
27:39 One of my dear friends said, well, you know, I really think there's a lot of money to spend on that TVA price.
27:44 And he said, well, then, it's really a case of how much very good you don't get as much money that you might spend on the price.
27:51 REPORTER 2- Now, a couple of months ago you said the Reagan administration came to lobby
27:55 hard for a government to waive something, waive Republicans.
27:58 Have you gotten that cooperation?
27:59 REPORTER 3- That's correct.
28:00 The Reagan administration is behind the project.
28:03 The president very much committed to the project.
28:06 The leadership on the Republican side of the aisle as well as the Democrat side of the aisle
28:10 has signed off on it.
28:11 Your colleague Leonard.
28:21 We've been talking a lot about it.
28:36 Come on, we've been talking a lot about it.
29:06 he did express the outrage of the American people at this massacre.
29:12 Really, I've never seen anything in my district that really just aroused the sentiment of the people that I represent.
29:20 They're angry. They're furious over what happened.
29:23 And it is time that we would forward the sanctions against the Soviet Union,
29:28 especially when they've come up and even lied that we've been missed.
29:31 If they've done this hard, we'll be in this murder.
29:33 I have called upon the President to ask our allies to work in concert with us for a grain
29:41 embargo.
29:42 You know, it is going to happen if we take the united world to get behind this move so
29:49 that we can impose these sanctions.
29:51 Q And what about the argument that this is a larger version of parliament where there
29:54 is more?
29:55 A Well, that's a point that I was trying to make, as long as it's a unilateral movement,
30:00 as long as Australia or Canada are going to sell.
30:02 So it's meaningless, but as long as we do work and the international community gets behind the spirit and the thrust of this sort of sanctions, we will be successful.
30:15 In lieu of the breeze of taking casualties, residents in Florence are still offshore, but you can't do more.
30:22 Do you favor that action or do you think we'll still pull out from that?
30:26 Well, I was in Lebanon in April and met with the group, the group carrier.
30:31 I was there. The morale was very high among the Marines and their commanding officer.
30:37 They were proud of what they were doing. They were there on a voluntary basis.
30:41 But there again, I think we can go back next week and really assess what is the role of the Marines in Lebanon.
30:49 They were sent there as a training.
30:53 They were sent there as a goal scorer.
31:01 We're figuring on about 10 minutes here.
31:09 And we've got a minute or two or three left if you want to ask another question
31:12 or just look at this big hole in the ground for a few moments.
31:16 Thank you very much for coming.
32:31 buses and so on and the bus is moving out. Then we can swing and get inside.
32:43 this is going to be on this evening or tonight
32:58 not for you
33:02 just for publicity down it
33:05 let's do it eddie let's run down over there I'm just going to get the bus
33:10 leaving
33:40 I'm going to do is I can't let you get that shot right there.
33:58 But you're going to be coming in here for a minute.
34:01 So now just snap there.
34:32 Shoot your what now?
35:02 Arnie, give us, give us that 10 or 20 seconds of just static, wide as, wide as possible
35:20 that we use for time lapse shit.
35:50 We don't have a couple of minutes left on it.
35:53 Is it rolling?
35:54 Yeah.
35:54 Yeah, the battery's about gone, though.
35:57 We should be getting a lot of it.
35:58 If it's lighting, it's going to be good.
35:59 Yeah, just go.
36:01 If we ain't got the light, let's not worry about it.
36:50 You're going to throw in the water.
36:54 You're throwing water on him?
36:59 Long, slow zooms, you might get one or two.
37:03 Besides that, you just grab as much as it takes back because we don't have enough time for
37:12 long, slow zooms.
37:15 All in and open your closest if you don't want to do that.
37:21 From action to action, a pan from one action to another. A little quicker pan.
37:27 The quicker shots we use.
37:29 You going in?
37:30 Let me know when you have about 45 seconds of bars.
39:15 All right.
42:15 Okay.
42:16 Good shot.
42:17 One of the best shots you're gonna get is from the edge of the, of the horses.
42:22 Good.
42:24 Good job.
42:43 Hey, your mother was there earlier.
42:58 Where was she?
43:43 And the public is invited.
43:48 Look at the side.
43:53 Shake some more on the face.
44:10 Okay.
44:11 uh took place 12 days early uh we're torn between giving everybody 12 days off
44:24 so we can get back on schedule but we think instead we'll we'll keep pressing on so that
44:30 we can keep ahead of schedule and if congress can do its thing as far as the money is concerned and
44:35 the nuclear regulatory commission can do its thing as far as the construction permit is concerned
44:40 we we do intend to stay ahead of schedule or at schedule what you see before you is a nuclear
44:47 island excavation about a million point two yards of of limestone and siltstone that limestone and
44:57 siltstone that has gone come out of the hole the excavation has gone through the rock crusher you
45:02 see on the far horizon you can see the bend to the right you can't see too much of the rest of
45:07 there are four four crushers over there we crush it and then place it down as phil and you see a
45:13 good deal of phil off to the off to the right kept by the gray gray limestone you are standing
45:22 on limestone that came out of the rogers quarry and this is our craft parking lot about 13 acres
45:27 1900 cars that should just about take care of the peak workforce we're going to have here at
45:34 at any given time there's some photographs you can look at that are stuck up here but let me in the
45:40 nuclear island excavation itself we'll have the nuclear island mat 18 foot of heavily reinforced
45:47 concrete on which the plant will be founded reactor containment building steam generator
45:51 building reactor service building up on the top bench at elevation 790 the flat one you can see
45:59 there, well, kind of in the middle, will be the turbine generator building.
46:06 Our elevation when we started at reactor containment, and it's just in front of that
46:13 yellow crane you can see, was about at 816. What you see now is at 714.2, so we have come down
46:21 101.8 feet to find that siltstone, and it's a very solid, dense material. It doesn't weather
46:28 as does limestone and that will be the foundation of our plant the activity you see going on to the
46:35 right front down there is cleaning out that silt stone getting all the small pieces and debris
46:41 out of it so we can start monday morning with what we call a leveling mat it's a just a mat
46:48 of lean concrete at least four inches deep and it's going to have to be a little bit deeper to
46:54 to cover up all of the over break that you see the irregularities in the silt stone
46:59 that goes in first gives us a clean level working surface and after we get that done then we we put
47:05 down a waterproof membrane and mud mat and from then on in the structural concrete will start on
47:11 that 18 foot mat we're scheduled to start putting reinforcing bar down in the hole
47:17 about the first of november and we'll make our first pour of the nuclear island mat
47:21 just before Christmas of this year. That is dependent upon funding and it is
47:27 dependent upon our construction permit from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
47:32 We will run out of money pretty soon if Congress doesn't do something before the
47:37 end of the month and that would either consist of a continuing resolution or
47:42 passing of the the alternate financing plan, which we have on their on their
47:48 table right now.
47:52 Okay, well, I'll get back to you.
47:54 As I said, we said...
47:55 Okay, all right, very good.
47:57 We said Barini Corporation, which is...
48:51 I'm just going to go ahead and go to the right a little bit.
49:21 I'm going to get through this river.
49:34 No he did.
49:41 He told me back in the extrovert I like Forte Parada.
49:49 What's your name?
49:50 I'm sorry.
49:52 You gave me a hard time.
49:54 Man, look at it.
49:57 Are they...
49:58 Are they making these all 20 seconds and that yet?
50:02 Yeah, we started that...
50:03 I'm bringing it.
50:11 We just like our state and how they're used.
50:15 I've never done that before.
50:17 Just hang on for a little bit on him.
50:19 That's why that's that again?
50:24 Yeah, that's what I think.
50:28 And right.
50:49 They're all long, way wide, and you can't hit it.
50:52 No, no, not all the way.
50:53 Okay, come in, come in, come in, come in.
50:55 Keep coming, keep coming.
