February 4, 1997

I had a meeting with Secretary Daley at Yerba Buena in the late afternoon, two hours after my last class.

i spoke with the Commerce Secretary at length, telling him my story, especially the part where I was not from this dimension.

He was more astonished that my home world was remarkably similar to his home world, with a few cosmetic differences; the biggest being that the bridge between San Francisco and Marin County was red.

The Secretary also mentioned that his office was down to the last few finalists.
