These amendments are expressed in communications no. 1067.5 and no. 1067.6. <br /> The Council also amended the proposed amendment contained in communication no. 1067.6 by <br /> removing the last paragraph of the proposed new language.

In any audit which <br /> concerns the alleged gross misconduct or alleged criminal conduct on the part of <br /> any individual, such individual shall have the right to be represented by counsel <br /> and the right to have the auditor compel the attendance of witnesses on behalf of <br /> the individual." <br /> <br /> Thank you. <br /> <br /> BJF/lc <br /> <br /> &LU aba,a) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Gomm, Nit • <br /> Ref.
