沉默持续了五秒钟，在此期间，眼睛漫游了其他眼睛，清除了几只喉咙，没有人搬到他的椅子上。好像在没有讨论的情况下做出了决定：避免逃避。国会议员埃弗雷姆·沃尔特斯（Efrem Walters）通过耶鲁大学法律审查（Yale Law Review）从田纳西州的山上出发，不应因涉及秘密操纵的埃索斯特（Esoterica）而被驳回。胡说八道。
(The silence lasted precisely five seconds, during which time eyes roamed other eyes, several throats were cleared, and no one moved in his chair. It was as if a decision were being reached without discussion: evasion was to be avoided. Congressman Efrem Walters, out of the hills of Tennessee by way of the Yale Law Review, was not to be dismissed with facile circumlocution that dealt with the esoterica of clandestine manipulations. Bullshit was out.)
在紧张的时刻，在场的气氛充满了一种无声的共识。有五秒钟的时间，房间里鸦雀无声，每个人都交换了眼神，巧妙地承认了事态的严重性。说话的犹豫揭示了一种集体认识，即他们不能再忽视所面临的现实，这标志着他们向直接对抗而不是回避的转变。
国会议员埃弗雷姆·沃尔特斯 (Efrem Walters) 以脚踏实地的态度而闻名，他拒绝进行琐碎的干扰或模糊的解释。他来自田纳西州的背景以及与著名机构的联系凸显了他突破政治操纵复杂性的决心。此次对话的参与者明白，肤浅的讨论不是一种选择，而是一种选择。明确和诚实对于解决当前的紧迫问题至关重要。
