On the certification issue, it is my understanding that the person who did the work, be it steel or concrete work, is the only person who could actually certify the work. Nobody else could come in. If I did a job for the Chairman, he did not pay me and got Senator Murnane O'Connor to come in and do it and I was not paid, that would not be right. I would have to be the one certifying the work that I did.
