If memory serves (and it may not) John was having trouble making the script for your talk fit into the allotted time. Over the phone, we timed the whole thing and it was fifteen to twenty minutes too long, and so we kept looking for things to cut. Didn't he get you the final copy just a few hours before your speech? That's the way I recall it. Anyway, I'm pretty sure the original was longer than the material you read.
