Much more diplomatically put, Tim.

I had understood David to mean only that John Jeffries is now the person to 
whom Compliance staffing questions should be directed and not that there is no 
current intention to fill the Director of Compliance position.  Although, if 
the latter is true, I would certainly like to know that.

I would like to here the Board's thought about the recent direction in
Staffing. Also, I undertood David's earlier response regarding the
Compliance Diretor to mean that Compliance now reports to Legal and so
there is no intent to fill that position. Perhaps I misundertood, and
perhaps it isn't yet clear to Staff either.
