Also, again, weve been reminded make sure you mark your calender, the off site board retreat is scheduled for wednesday, february 19th, starting at noon. It will be held at 50 california street. And we anticipate that it potentially run beyond five but hopefully not much beyond 5 00. President driscoll, thank you for reminding me, theres a requirement that each of you complete the implicit bias training before december 31st.

Now that white house meeting was going to be an official meeting between the two president s correct . Presumably. It would be an Oval Office Meeting hopefully . A working meeting. A working meeting, yes. So an official act. Yes. And in order to perform that official act, donald trump wanted these two investigations that would help his reelection campaign, correct .

Actually, actually, i would have been more surprised if President Trump had not mentioned investigations. Particularly, given what we were hearing from mr. Giuliani about the president s concerns. However, i have no recollection of discussing Vice President biden or his son on that call or after the call ended. I know that
