Thank you, MS. Johnson, for your very informative report. It covered the topic quite thoroughly. I know many of you have questions for Ms. Johnson, but it’s about 10:30 now, and we still have several points to cover before we break for lunch. So, before we continue with the next part of our board meeting and the question-and-answer period, why don’t we take a short coffee break? Coffee and tea and fruit and pastries are available in the next room. We’ll resume in fifteen minutes, and following a short question and answer period with Ms. Johnson, we’ll hear Mr. Kim’s report on the Harbor Project. Ibelieve he has a slideshow to go along with his report, so it should be quite interesting.
Questions 83 through 85 refer to the following news item.
Following last Monday’s heavy storm in the Wilmington Valley, flood waters from the Wilmington River have risen over twenty feet. Thousandsof families have been evacuated from the region and are living with relatives and in shelters throughout the state. Fortunately, no loss of life has been reported, but property damage is estimated to be in the millions. The downtown districts of both Riverside and Wilmington Falls are completely flooded, and the areas have been closed to all visitors. It is doubtful whether the evacuees will be able to return to their homes any time soon. The president will tour the area on Friday. He will speak to the nation about the situation during his regular Saturday address.
