Mr. Paul Maloney:

In fact, the day of the 23rd or, perhaps, the day I asked Mr. McNamara to meet to discuss the bid price, I insisted that someone come with me because I thought this was the biggest decision of the authority and the board would need to hear, not just from me but from others, and it was not enough to bring my team. The chairman decided he would come with me. I asked for the chairman because I felt he was reporting to the board.
