He <br /> suggested that any decision be held off until the issue is resolved, because if it is resolved <br /> unfavorably with regard to the charged party, then any Board decision probably will be nullified <br /> under the statue. <br /> Len asked if the'horn has been notified of this investigation—have they received a letter to that <br /> effect.
