K: I don't know.
S: Yeah. Well look, Henry, I was about to call you on my personal
situation. And Jean is right here because we have been up, frankly all
night. And we have concluded, Henry, that while I am very grateful
for the offer but we can't accept it. We have a further talk with the
doctor -- remember after my call on Saturday -- and we have concluded
that from all points of view and particularly from the point of view of
some of the considerations that I outlined to you a week ago, that we
had better just go right on dr/ stay with the decision. It's been a very
difficult decision. The only reason I was willing to reconsider is
because frankly of the challenge and excitement of working with you.
But, we've thought it all over and there are just some very, very
strong considerations that aren't reversible at the present time.
K: Well, I am sorry to hear that. Joe, can we talk this afternoon
after your testimony?
S: Sure. Be glad to.
K: Let's talk about it.
S: All right. Good.
K: Thank you.
