Ronald Evans (CAPCOM): Columbia, Houston. That is correct.
05 03 56 06
Michael Collins (CMP): Okay. Thank you, Ron.
05 03 56 15

05 03 56 20
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Go ahead.
05 03 56 21
Ronald Evans (CAPCOM): Roger. Because of the lower load with the rendezvous radar off, we'd like to have battery 5 and 6 on the line now, 1 and 3 off. Over.
05 03 56 53
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): In work.
05 03 56 55

05 04 09 02
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): We've got number 2 reading 3050 and number 1 is reading—3000 and it drops down to 2990. So I'm not sure that it's really indicative that it didn't go. Over.
05 04 09 17
Ronald Evans (CAPCOM): Roger. We copy and we agree.
05 04 09 55

05 04 10 02
Ronald Evans (CAPCOM): Roger. That's correct, and we'll go ahead and watch tank 2. If it doesn't—tank 2 doesn't decrease, we'll tell you to close the ascent feeds and open the shutoffs. Over.
05 04 10 26
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Okay. Ascent feeds are open and shutoffs are closed.
05 04 10 31
