And thisgood friday sunday, millions of christians celebrate easter and the resurrection of jesus christ. Thatis holy time, we pray god will heal the sick and comfort the heartbroken and bless our heroes. As American Families look forward to easter, we are reminded that our story ends not in despair, but in triumph and renewal. It . Appropriate, isnt i would like to provide americans an update on our ongoing efforts in the war against the invisible enemy. Before i do that, i have a couple of notes. The United States in discussions last night with mexico, saudi arabia, russia and dealing with opec nations, we are trying to get mexico, as the expression goes, over the barrel.

And none of that has been responded to at all, which is why i nicely said that mr. Richs comments were not wholly satisfactory. But proceed. Ill touch on a couple of things. As mr. Rich did say supervisor peskin, we are not at a level of plans yet. So i couldnt tell you the exact size of the boxes that will be put back in. But the street trees, as you mentioned, there are 15 existing street trees along california street that were referenced earlier. They are new Zealand Christmas trees. Those trees will be removed and replaced around the site perimeter with 88 new street trees. The street trees along california that were referenced are going to match the street trees that were
