THE CHAIRMAN: What has been your reaction at
|
|
2
|
the various meetings you have attended outside of Mary-
|
|
3
|
land with respect to our program? I am sure you have
|
|

|
really a public relations nan for the State. In order to
|
|
19
|
go out here and attract industry, competing with other

is on the go night and day, making talks , visiting other
