This is Michael McFadden.

This is in now.

James F. Gennaro

Okay.

Looks like the last name's Spinner, I think.

James F. Gennaro

First name begins with an I.

James F. Gennaro

So how many people will that make?

James F. Gennaro

What's that?

James F. Gennaro

Oh, sure.

James F. Gennaro

Oh, Eileen, you're saying.

James F. Gennaro

Okay.

James F. Gennaro

Who am I calling?

James F. Gennaro

Oh, okay.

James F. Gennaro

So we have everybody, right?

James F. Gennaro

Four people?

James F. Gennaro

Yeah, so we, pardon, we have to, you know, pass around the mic so we get good sound quality.

James F. Gennaro

And, yeah, the last panel I started this side, so this panel I'm going to start on this side.

James F. Gennaro

And so please state your name for the record.

James F. Gennaro

Begin with your testimony.

James F. Gennaro

You know, we have a lot more witnesses, so I'm going to have to be more strict on the two-minute thing.

James F. Gennaro

I apologize.

James F. Gennaro

Please.
