Something we can agree upon? By golly, I'll stay and listen to that. All right. Miss Clark.
KEY QUOTEYes, your Honor. There was an order by the Court and that we--all parties agreed to--that nobody would be allowed to watch--none of our witnesses that were non experts would be allowed to watch television. We have American Airline employees that when they fly, CNN is constantly on. So what they've done is, they've grounded these people for the duration of the trial because they can't avoid CNN. You know, there's nothing they can do about it. They--you know, going off to coffee, there's-- so in order to let American airlines fly and continue in operation, Mr. Cochran has agreed to stipulate that the employees may go back to work and that there will be no objection to their having watched any television that they may see in the course of the flight, and the employees will agree not to make any conscious effort to watch it. In fact, they will try to avoid it as best they can, but we're all aware of the fact that not everything will be avoidable.
Absolutely, your Honor. I've been in touch with Mr. Tom Holiday of Gibson, Dunn and Crutcher that represents American Airlines and we assured them that would apply to any witnesses called, that they'll try to refrain from watching--but we didn't release the extent of your Honor's order. So we certainly don't want to have people grounded because of this. So we agree with that.
A reasonable resolution. All right. Thank you, counsel. We'll stand in recess. 9:00 o'clock.
