 people, and I think that's just great.

0: Thank you.

B: You don't have a time set when you are going to open up?

0: Not an exact date, but as it stands now, we should be completed
 in approximately two weeks.

B: Well, I certainly hope everything works out. Now Mr. Barley
 Grimm is the director of the project in this area, isn't

0: Yes, he is.

B: Mr. Oxendine, if there was some thing you could do, anything you
 could change about Indian people or in connection with the Indian

 of which we gave some very fancy names to. Our distinguished
 president of the council of the American Indian Studies Center,
 Mr. Herbert H. Locklear, and I, Vonnie Oxendine, Jr., we worked
