'5 A'. ,

I'got.a conference-together with myself,

16. Ron McBee an'd. Jack Stanford.' We discussed all

't

7- , . aspects of being possible. .to1make this deadline. At.

'8 't h'a t time I decided I couldn't possibly make..it. So

~

.9 SI decided: to send Jack Stanford home'.

. 2 10' Q Why did you do that? ,,

  1. ' Ill A. The' reason-was'that IJwould not be able.to il2 complete both'.---all'the wolds, get them prepped and '

e-' -

11 3- have all the NDE requirements met'by that date. I '

e _~

14 ' realized"that my crew was not. going to be able to a _
.15 finish.its work on.this job for many hours. We had 716; called,a QC inspector in.especially to provide QC '

18 stay, he would.-jUst 'b e sitting around oing nothing. I
