The files are identified by their length. The name to be redacted is listed along with the timestamp. We understand it is late, and this takes a lot of work. We also want to ensure this is done correctly. We would like for your team to do your best to have the redacted audio files sent over to us via Teleporter by noon tomorrow. Please let me know if you have any questions at all. I am available on my mobile tonight and tomorrow to discuss anything to ensure we get this done. Thank you and your team in advance for your work on this.
