dr. heywood floyd has some pre-briefing greetings and comments before a briefing of the recent discovery at the clavius moonbase. coolness. sheer coolness.
Dr. Floyd gets to the point at 2:28. "Absolute secrecy" about the discovery of Extraterrestrial life, until "adequate preparation and conditioning" measures have been undertaken.
I also like Kubrick and Clarke's droll line at the outset, where Dr. Floyd describes the unearthing (um, so to speak) of the Monolith -- solid evidence of an Extraterrestrial presence -- as "among" Mankind's most significant scientific discoveries. A sly jab at hubris, that.
I like the photographer pressing the button to leave the room at 0:26 and then pressing the blank wall to close the doors behind his at 0:29. I always get a chuckle out of that!

This scene is what 2001 is about.
