K:

K:
That's right.
T:
This is just a little technical thing that I'm curious about, how do you

K:
I can't tell you that.
T:
Is it by radio or telephone or what is it?
K:
No, not telephone. And not radio either but we have very good
communications.
T:
All right. It's direct contact though. I mean, in terms of telecommunications
you have direct contact with them?
K:
No, not from here..
T:
No, all right. Now is there to be a press briefing tomorrow?
K:
We're thinking of it.
T:

No, no, I11 be quoted.
T:
You will be quoted?
K:
Yeah.
T:
Will you be covering the same material you and I discussed?
