CHAUDRET: As it is here.
MIMOTO: Yes.
WILSON: (ui)
MIMOTO: Many commercial people and some technical people.
WILSON: Right.
MIMOTO: And we have to really discuss the real matter.
WILSON: Yeah. Absolutely.
MIMOTO: On maybe next day we will have a price talk?
WILSON: That's right.
CHAUDRET: Yeah.

CHAUDRET: At least we meet, there is, we meet officially. We set, we agree. And
then we recognize that we met officially. That's it or to discuss these,
uh, specific, uh, topics.
MIMOTO: Not entirely.

(Several talk at once - ui).
CHAUDRET: how to justify in, uh, in Brussels?

CHAUDRET: Or Paris or, we can meet anywhere, it can be...
WHITACRE: It'd be unusual.
WILSON: It'd be unusual, but I...
(Laughter).
WHITACRE: I think the direction of The Association is good. I'm really concerned
about the names, how they'd be on the...
MIMOTO: Yeah.
WHITACRE: agenda.
MIMOTO: Yeah.
WILSON: What you're doing, uh, early terms is you're setting up a brand new
Association. That's what you're doing. So it's a perfect cover. Now,
2 years down the road or a y-year down the road or 9 months down
the road, you'll admit you don't want it, but that kinda cover. But right
now, it's perfect cover. It's perfect.
YAMAMOTO: Yes.
