INTERPRETER: She wanted to know if you have any objections to the continuity [sic] of the —

INTERPRETER: RESIDENT BUSH: Yes, the expansion, I got that part. You asked the same question to both of us, then. No? Okay.

Can she repeat —

PRESIDENT BUSH: Never mind, that’s enough. Go ahead and answer it.
