18      BLAGOJEVICH:              Right - before the end of the year 19                                though, right?

20      ROB:                      Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, uh - 21                                there was no waffling there, it 22                                 it just uh, ya know, we gotta, we just 23                                gotta figure it out and...so he'll 24                                 give you the specific details.

28      BLAGOJEVICH:              Yeah.

1      ROB:                      It's a basketball game?

2      BLAGOJEVICH:              Yeah, with [REDACTED].

3      ROB:                      Yeah, he yeah, he knew it was 4                                [REDACTED], United Center - wasn't  5                                 sure what the venue was. But 6                                good.

7      BLAGOJEVICH:              Ok, so...but clearly before the end 8                                of the year, right?

9      ROB:                      Yeah, yeah.

10      BLAGOJEVICH:              He's down there right now with him 11                                lobbying on a bill.

12      ROB:                      He was with him last night and he's 13                                 still down there.

14      BLAGOJEVICH:              Yeah, they're pushing a bill. So 15                                that's probably what he wants to 16                                 wait on.

17      ROB:                      Well, whatever. I mean, I think 18                                that's probably likely. He didn't 19                                get into detail with me. [PORTIONS 20                                REDACTED]
