That's why it didn't show in VN. It was near Quay San. They diverted it one mile inside. They had the safeguard meeting over there today. I thought it was going to be just a discussion group/ Instead, there were a couple of people from the Joint Staff and Farly. K: Why? L: I don't know. An interagency group -- 14 people. and I told them not to pull out my statement. I think we should have a chairman -- Johnny Foster. K: I agree. I don't want ACDA chewing over your statement.
