On the recordDecember 19, 1996
Like I said before, you know, this is a partnership between us. It's Christmas; it's down time. I need to give you something else to do and help you do your job, and it will help me do mine to get it out of the way. So I'm working on it. I want to do it as quickly as I can, but I don't want to tie my hands. You understand how this appointments process has developed over the last several years and all the things that have to be done before you can nail down these decisions. But we're working very hard on it, and I'll do my best not to disappoint you.
