Harris Engineer: Leo Del Aguila Date: October 16-23, 2004 Tape 1 (130-2.10 MS stereo technic, mid capsule MKH40, side mic MKH30 etc) Sunday 17 October 3:00 AMBI indoors footsteps on tile, ceramic, resonant voices 3:58 car slam, outdoors, birds 4:16 out 4:28RH could you introduce yourself please? 4:30 I am Mr. Hassan Diop, I am working in the plant protection service and I am taking charge of the focusing division RH so you are responsible for all plant pest, not just locust, is that right? 4:53 yes that's true RH that sounds like a big job 4:55 D it is yeah, How long have you been doing that?
