COLLAPSE OF TEXAS TOWER NO. 4 35' 



But in basic principle, the platform was the same. 



Senator Saltonstall. Well, who is responsible in tower No. 4 for 

 getting the platform up from the water to the top of the structure ? 



Mr. Anderson. Well, this was a combination of the design pro- 

 cedure of Moran, Proctor, Mueser & Kutledge and, of course, the 

 contractor physically doing the work. 



Senator Stennis. Will the Senator yield to me right there? It 

 looks to me that we might as well face the fact that, while the 

 testimony Mr. Anderson has given has relevance, we are interested 

 primarily in the steps leading up to tower 4 which, as Senator Sy- 

 mington has said, presented some different problems. Mr. Anderson, 

 himself, has said that there were differences. It would be better I 

 think, to see if we cannot clarify what the steps were that led up to 

 tower 4. It would save time for all of us. Will the Senator agree 

 with that? 



Senator Saltonstall. Yes. Mr. Chairman, I was a little confused 

 because I thought we were talking about tower 4. I will stop right 

 now. 



Senator Stennis. We need information about the background of 

 the matter, and it has been very helpful to get the story of the con- 

 ferences which were held and related matters. We assumed these to be 

 applicable to tower No. 4. However, the statement of the division of 

 fees was with reference to tower 2. 



Mr. Anderson. Mr. Chairman, the fees applicable to tower 2 which 

 I quoted apply to all five towers. 



Senator Stennis. All right. 



Mr. Anderson. And I think that the statement that I read is just 

 as applicable to tower No. 4 as it was to towei^ No. 2 or No. 3. 



Senator Stennis. All right. Well, that is enlightening. Perhaps 

 counsel has something to bring out here. Let's see, gentlemen. Let's 

 move right into this tower 4. That is the inquiry. 



Mr. Kendall. Mr. Anderson, as I understand it, the Feasibility 

 Study and your contract with the Navy covered all five towers, is that 

 right, originally ? 



Mr. Anderson. That is correct. 



Mr. Kendall. In other words, it covered towers No. 2, No. 3, and 

 No. 4, the ones that were actually built ? 



Mr. Anderson. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. 



Mr. Ejendall. And this sequence of events which you have related 

 is equally applicable to any one of the towers, is that correct? 



Mr. Anderson. That is correct, sir. 



Mr. Kendall. So that your statement does apply to the background 

 information of the contractual relationship between you and Moran, 

 Proctor 



Mr. Anderson. As it was involved in tower No. 4. 



Mr. Kendall. As it was involved in tower No. 4 ? 



Mr. xVnderson. That is correct. 



Mr. Kendall. Does that help you any. Senator ? 



Senator Stennis. It does. Proceed. 



Mr. KJENDALL. As I miderstand it, you originally brought Moran, 

 Proctor into this picture. 



Mr. Anderson. That is correct.
