To listen to this recording, you can either: Right-click on the link to "Download MP3" link, and save the conversation to your computer. You can then listen to it on your computer or on any portable MP3 device. You can also listen to this recording from the website, without downloading it. Use the audio player below.  It works like a regular tape recorder, with symbols for "play," and "pause."

Please note: If you don’t see an audio player graphic immediately below the heading "Flash Player", this means you do not have Flash installed on your computer.  In that case, you can either download Flash or you can save the file to your computer and play it there or on an MP3 player. The online Flash player works best if you have a broadband connnection (cable or DSL), as opposed to dial-up. It may take a moment for the buttons to appear. To start, press the play button. Once it has started, to pause, press the pause button. The sound level is NOT controlled from the player.  It is controlled from within your computer.  If you do not normally use sound, it may be muted.  On most Windows computers go to the "Control Panel," click on "Sound" and adjust the volume.  If you have external speakers, make sure they are on and the volume is adjusted properly.
