the information and uh, as far as the exchange of information, we discussed this kind of and I don't think we came up with anything there but I'll tell you the way I see it as being is, uh, I will verbally, myself, personally, explain the procedure to the board of directors of the ATA and uh, I will see that that's in the contract. I, uh, also, will have in the contract, that this explanation will only be made after the loan is made and can't be recalled. Now, uh, there was another point I wanted to cover, [REDACTED] and that was the fact that you said to me this had been tried before and uh, I don't think I totally explained that aspect of it to your satifaction when we were at the airport. Now, let me explain some- thing to ya here, uh, this absolutely has not been tried before, the way I'm talking about doin' it, because if it had of, I, guarantee you, you could have not suppressed this from the news media and when I explain this to the board of directors, I believe that you will readily agree that what I'm saying is true. Uh, now I want to explain to you, [REDACTED] the part where I said at the beginning of this that I might edit part of it out. I don't uh, (inaudible) (U) motive in this and this is not to embarrass you at all. I think you made a big mistake at the airport when you were sitting there talking to me. I think you underestimated me considerably. Uh, if you want to delete that part and this part from this tape, then let me know that you've done that, I will not bring up that aspect at all before the board of directors. I'm not out to embarrass anybody. I just wanted you to understand I can do what I can say I can do and there is a damm chance I'll do just exactly that. So, let's not have any flim flam here or y trying to blame you with footwork or coercion, meaning you are scaring me, or whatever you think, I don't intimidate. I just want to get this deal consumated so I can go on to the rest of my life. Now, uh, I will put the contract before
