supports what I have been hearing from bob all along...

remember: he said to me that last time in Caracas about 3 weeks ago...

all was Terrific....

he also stated the Chinese deal was done and indication I received was they were waiting for Caracus to confirm the issuance of the permit... before the Chinese would sign on the dotted lines....

So... sounds like everyone is waiting for everyone.... and rm adivises... that the bs noice all around us... is just that.. bs... not the same info coming from the high levels of the Vens.

truly hoping we are close.....
