There is an extra element here. The criteria laid down for the board as it is were very general when the advertisement was placed in the newspapers last year. They were so general that it is a matter of judgment for ADM as to what is in and what is out. The advertisement was in no way specific and every position came under the one advertisement.

We are trying to move away from that to a more constrained situation with more detailed criteria. We have written that into the Bill through an amendment.

Suppose we did what the Senator suggests we should do. He mentioned several cases where he believes criteria were not followed.
