sustained or upheld by me, which means I stop the
testimony because of the objection, if I do that, you
must not speculate on what might have occurred had the

It’s 1:35, what I would like to do is
resume at quarter to three, that gives you a little more
than hour. It gives you a chance to make the phone calls
that you need to make and now further arrange your lives
a little bit because you now know that you will be with
us for awhile. It gives you a chance to figure some of

to eat and just kind of stabilize things, and let people
know where you are, and what’s going to happen.

So we are adjourned until quarter to

three. Have a good lunch.
