On the recordFebruary 8, 1995
We rejected that. This package, what is so different about it, he sends it back to us. We have 20 days to say yes or no or to modify it or pass part of it or not, but if we do not take action, it is automatically in effect. So the ball is in our court. It is not this, oh, well, we just kind of look the other way and pretend it does not count. The clock starts and we have got 20 days.
