SIGNING A CONTRACT

Mr. Milton: Mr. Vetrov, have you any questions as regards the contract?

Mr. Vetrov: No, I think we have settled all the points under dispute.

Mr. Milton: Good. If some problems arise in the process of work we'll deal with them there and then. Some principle points can be included into a supplement to the contract upon mutual agreement.

Mr. Vetrov: Agreed.

Mr. Milton: Fine. In that case we'll tell our experts and lawyers to prepare the contract for signing. I don't think, this purely technical work will take much time and we can sign the contract in the evening.

Mr. Vetrov: I believe that time will be convenient for signing the contract. Mr. Milton we've worked hard and fruitfully, so I think we deserve a good rest. I'd like to invite you to have dinner in a restaurant.

Mr. Milton: I'm very happy to accept your invitation, Mr. Vetrov. Let me once more thank you for the constructive way you helped to settle all the problems that were in the way of signing the contract.
