1 office any changes in the structure that you thought were appropriate to 



2 facilitate the purpose of the meeting. 



3 I can't tell you now that we would agree to anything or what would 



4 be accepted. I also think Pat has got the right idea, that there has 



5 got to be a limit to this or we could talk forever. 



6 MS. HUGHES: I know I have upset a lot of people here by proposing 



7 to put an end to this and all of that sort of thing, but I appreciate it 



8 and I think it is valuable to put everything together. I guess I would 



9 say that there is nothing to stop everyone from continuing to discuss 



10 and get through this list. 



11 The rapporteurs are working on paper. We are taping the whole 



12 thing verbatim. I think people have pretty good enough memories that 



13 the things we have talked about yesterday and this morning, right up 



14 until now, will continue in people's heads. Perhaps, we can get down to 



15 the conclusions today or perhaps not. 



16 I guess I'm struggling with this. There seems to be this 



17 incredible difficulty here and I don't get it. 



18 DR. AURAND: We wanted you to see the written conclusions. We 



19 wanted you to see, as a group, what the rapporteurs and the group drew 



20 for conclusions, so that you could decide whether or not that was, in 



21 fact, what you said, as a group, not as individuals. 



22 MR. LANE: Let me ask it another way. Do you think that you can 



23 verbally go through this list? Do you think all the discussions that 



24 will feed into this list can be accomplished today, not writing a thing, 



25 not putting a thing down? 



26 MS. HUGHES: I don't know. I honestly don't know. 



27 DR. RAY: I think we can make a good dent in it. I think Brad and 



28 Barbara sort of already picked people and started to make some 



29 assignments to write the 100 words. You've got a lot of the people with 



30 the toxicology discipline and some of the others here. 



31 If we got back after--you know, make our assignments to write the 



32 100 words, get back and get into a discussion where we have the 



33 interaction to go through the possible impact, the characteristics of 



34 the discharges, so we can work toward a conclusion.
