I don't think he's 38 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 4: made a final call on that, but I got to 39 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 4: say that I'm even humbled still perhaps to be in 40 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 4: the running with the other people. 41 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: Now the list of candidates to succeed Powell.
