Mr. BALL. I believe those are all the questions I have to ask you,
Mr. Rose, and this will be written up and submitted to you for your
signature, if you want to read it and sign it, or if you want to, you
can waive your signature--just as you wish. What do you prefer?
Mr. ROSE. Well, I don't know--will it be later?
Mr. BALL. A couple of weeks.
Mr. ROSE. Well, if she will just call me, I will drop by anytime.
Mr. BALL. Okay, that will be fine. We will do this. Thanks very much.
Mr. ROSE. Let's see, there was something else I was going to tell you
now, I wanted to mention--we did run Wesley Frazier on the polygraph,
did you know that?
Mr. BALL. I know you did--we know about that.
Mr. ROSE. Yes.
Mr. BALL. Thanks.
