MR, CBAVSTON: This goes to 'the question as to

whether lie will, now proceed to approve or reject the bids,

the Chair would like to remind all representatives that con-

siderable opportunity has been given to all oil companies to

present information to us,. I wrote a letter to everybody who a

has ever indicated any interest in our bidding, inviting

information to be presented to us pro and con as to what we

were doings our procedures; and we received many communicatio

from your firm and' others and the question is we Kaye not

received any indiction up to this point that anyone has any

further protests.

21 M. GARPIAKE: We have a further protest and we dJ

have waived the notices and certainly donft want to hold. up

your proceedings any furthe.

MR. CRANSTOlp In view of that, the Commission feel

it has done al/ it can do to be fair insofar as adequate note.
