Mayuor Duncan referred the Council to a letter fran Nicholas Lewis, chainnan

California, which presents additional infonnation the Council did not have

a conflict or appearance of fairness problem. After further discussion and at
the request of the Council, Attorney Miller telephoned the budget officer of
EFSD: and confi:rned the funds for the trip would be paid out of the EFSEX:;
