I purchased the recording (since it is no longer parked online) from the company that does PCAGA audio and made this transcript:
(Part 2 if you have the two-part recording, 1:20:50 on the one-part recording)
“Redeemer laid hands on our off...on our deacons for about half of our life. Several years ago we stopped doing it. We thought, I thought that that didn't mean we stopped ordaining them. Plenty of people think it does. As Ligon said laying on of hands represents recognizing their gift, but you know for example if somebody said to me 'No, the PCA has spoken...and said you can't call them deaconess (misspeaks), deacons unless you lay hands on them too you're violating the BCO,' then I would just go back and say 'Fine.' I mean you know for quite a long time we laid hands on them, we haven't and it's largely or partly because some our deacons asked us not to originally. And it was difficult for me to get around to all the services and kind of make the explanation. So it was actually a logistical, for me it was actually logistically easier in some ways. However I would be happy to go back to it. If somebody said 'No, the PCA has made it very, very clear - you are not ordaining then if you don't lay hands on them. If you don't lay hands on them you can't call them deacons.' Well, I do want to call them deacons and therefore I would do it.”
