1	MR. SAYRE: My question is why. I want to
2	know why you serve there. You physically appear at many
3	of these meetings or have a representative?
4	MR. GOLDSTEIK: I attend every one of those
5	meetings myself. I have only missed one or two during
6	my whole eight years.
7	MR. SAYRE: This makes you acquainted with
6	these problems?
9	MR. GOLDSTEIN: Absolutely.
10	MR. SAYRE: And the reason for your being
11	there, for being acquainted is why?
12	MR. GOLDSTEIN: Why, because the law was writ-
13	ten, because the State Comptroller has a wide knowledge
14	of State finances, investments.
15	MR. SAYRE: So your counsel is asked as to
16	whether we can count on certain estimates that your
17	office makes?
18	MR. GOLDSTEIN: May I go off the record?
19	(Discussion off the record.)
20	MR. SAYRE: Would that require you be on these
21	boards?
