Gary Crocker: One of our concerns after we signed the agreement in '92, was: what would happen to these really incredible scientists who were working in the BW field, and what could we do to help them be gainfully employed in peaceful pursuits? Obviously, we didn't want them to go work in Iran, or some other place, or help terrorists. I mean, how did... how did the people who worked for you end up... did they get jobs? Were they gainfully employed? Or...
Gennadiy N. Lepeshkin: To refer specifically to the site where I worked, well, there what happened was... the following events took place: So, the American side decided to demolish our Stepnogorsk plant buildings and infrastructure. And provide support for conversion, to transition it to consumer goods manufacture. General Lajoie paid us a visit, and he said that blowing up these buildings would be better than using them as a production site. And in addition, to get some of the scientists... who did scientific work, to get them involved in the international scientific commu... community. Because those large buildings that we had, they weren't equipped for consumer goods manufacture. And that's precisely what ended up happening: two of the buildings on the grounds... on the grounds of the facility, were demolished. Right here this big... big six-storey structure is where testing was done. They removed it, dug a pit, dumped all of the enclosing structures into the pit, filled in the hole with earth and planted a lawn over it. They did the same thing over here. It was the same situation. The same: there was a large building, and it too was removed. The buildings were about this large, even larger. The building that stood here, this was the fermentation building, was thirty-two meters high, one hundred and seventy meters long and twenty-four meters wide. Plus, it extended another seven meters underground.
