Thomas: l l , my first reaction , ah realizing t h <br /> liability concern was to get that l i bi l i t for the town. That <br /> was my first , you know, thought. I was gust very concerned about;-,: <br /> that that liabilitything that was in the um the contract. ;4 <br /> And I understood that um Mr . Hanson had come into the office., f', ti <br /> had acquired the contracts and taken them to you to review, T h a <br /> YOU had discussed ah and loaned at these contracts. So I knew <br /> you were aware of the important mistake , <br /> e l . Hanson: It wasn't quite that way but we won't dwell on i t , <br /> eani All right . <br /> el .

What that document was was the <br /> cu lmunat i ori of um negotiations if I can call it that , They <br /> really weren' t negotiations, We had agreed in principle right <br /> along with Dr .

Steve prepared that after he had talked to me and I <br /> suggested that he prepare what he felt was appropriate and send <br />
