Contracting Company. In other words, are we placing ourselves further at risk or less at risk? Attorney Collins was prepared to answer some of those questions if Attorney Reynolds preferred. He explained that at this point we have a contract with Guettler and we cannot rescind that contract without being in breach ourselves. It is his understanding that we can terminate only for cause. What Attorney Lawrence is asking the Board to do this morning essentially is to make a determination that there is cause to breach the contract in the absence of all the facts that they plan to develop and present to the Judge. Attorney Collins felt it would put the Board at more risk to make a determination in the absence of facts to breach and rescind the contract today, rather than waiting for the Judge to make that determination. If the Judge makes such a determination and Guettler has performed work, he would be entitled to a quantum merit payment for the proportion of the work that he had done.

Basically, he has been accused of being almost a thief and he intends to cooperate in very way to give every record to these gentlemen. That process starts tomorrow at 3:00 P.M. He has served on this Commission for 12 years and felt his relationship with everyone has been a good one, and he is here ready and willing to answer any questions. He has everyone of his financial disclosures and income tax returns since 1982. Commissioner Scurlock stated that this has been tough; he has been 19 �ooK � �� MAR 0 31992 F; ;c % ��
