Scope and Contents

Once again, sound quality is very poor.
Very hard to follow conversation, I believe four of them are talking but they often talk over each other and that combined with the poor sound quality makes it very jumbled.
The sound cuts out and back in, it now seems to be a slightly different conversation but once again the number of people talking makes it difficult to follow.
It is a meeting discussing the seal (?) for an unnamed company, as well as the differences from a trademark.
They discuss selling 1,050,000 shares of a company at a price of $12/share.
The primary man who is talking describes a phone conversation with the police in which they ask him to provide them with tubes capable of recording infrared images. They want to use it over binoculars to help get evidence against drug smugglers.
They say that they may or may not be able to handle the increase in business and consider passing it off to a competitor, then get to talking about the specs for the product and what the police force currently has. This discussion seems to relate especially to what the medium for recording will actually be.
The Speaker talks about his personal desire to stop drug trafficking as his main motivation as opposed to profit.
They debate whether or not to pair with ITT (?), who is their competitor, to work on this project and are divided to some extent.
A lady asks if she can have 25 shares of stock per month which she says are valued at approximately $200 in total. The meeting is a board of director's meeting.
They talk about getting bids from insurance companies, but it's not entirely clear what they are interested in having insured.
They discuss whether taking on another project will overextend them, and then discuss which projects they should be focusing on primarily based on quickest return. They are considering doing something with a dryer, but as of yet it hasn't been chosen for sure.
The man in charge discusses whether or not he can hire a secretary who will work for nine months of the year while pursuing her CPA for the other three.
They don't want to hire someone because of her inability to be quiet, as they fear that she will talk about projects that she is not allowed to outside of work.
