Transcription Notes:
Several words that I can't make out
ed - still many blanks to be filled in
Filled in some - still one acronym left.. looks like OBD, but the capital O is different in Genl O Shepard..Doesn't match the D either.. Maybe a Q?
another editor - might be "to be" closer together, unsure.
