Commissioner Eggert noted that she was a little confused <br />between the workshop and talking with Mr. Blankenship afterward <br />because she was led to believe the consultants did it all and <br />then she particularly asked about the legal positions and got <br />from Mr. Blankenship the descriptions written up by the <br />consultants.

As a <br />part of the contract, our staff needed to be trained to maintain <br />the system. .It probably was not a propitious move on their part <br />to select that particular segment for training, and he wished <br />they had selected something easier, possibly something in the <br />clerical area, but be that as it may, that section was purposely <br />76 <br />APR 26 198 <br />BOOK 72 ?'r+uC 2 35 <br />
