DONNA KELLEY, CNN ANCHOR: And welcome back. We are downstairs here in the CNN cafeteria. The word we get is that the Defense Department, the Pentagon, is going to be getting some new food service. They had a regular service before, then they pulled the Pentagon employees, and apparently three of four people supported getting this other folk out who were doing the food, and now they are going to have fast food there. That is a huge complex, if you've never been there. It goes and goes and goes. The building has 17 1/2 miles of corridors. Now they're going to have at least three McDonald's restaurants, seven Starbucks coffee shops, and they're going to have a sandwich shop, and they're going to have other national chains -- Subway, Nathan's Famous Hot Dogs. They'll have Taco Bell, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut, Dunkin' Doughnuts. Twenty-three thousand civilian and military worker are going to be eating there. They're going to watch and see how their health does, you know, and make sure they can pass some of those military exams and PT, you know, physical training. So it's supposed to be in place, up and running. Go ahead and look at this. We've got salad bars, we've got the sandwich shop going here, up and running by March of 2002. So about seven months from now, they'll have this food service at the Pentagon. And we're staying away from references about gut bombs Lou.</s>LOU WATERS, CNN ANCHOR: With's special down there, today, Donna??</s>KELLEY: Well, I had a sandwich earlier for lunch.
