CapCom: "Okay Jack. The next, the next step is a, to stop up the bypass

in there or you can probably even crumple up some tape and use that,

Swigert: "Okay we'll start plugging up the bypass hole."
CapCom: "Okay."
Swigert: "(on board) We got to plug that hole, we can either, we can put
some, he said, what about a piece of your towel there?"
