Narrative:

Military X took off from beale and usually is on the pynun departure. This time he was rerouted direct to mustang which put him in conflict with air carrier Y at FL310 who was on a 325 degree heading for klamath falls. Military X was climbing out of FL285 for FL600 when I was alerted to his turn to the east. I asked military X how fast he could be out of FL330. I thought he said 1 min, but later learned he said about 1 or 2 mins. I then told military X to report leaving FL330. I also made another mistake at this point, because I thought I said report leaving FL330 in 1 min or less. Needless to say, it didn't work. Before listening to the tapes I was thinking this was a pilot deviation believing I had said report leaving FL330 in 1 min or less. I might add that there was heavy frequency congestion on my discrete frequencys (VHF and UHF). It was so bad at times, I couldn't make out any aircraft idents.
