I only remember air. Forrest mentioned that I was prepared to have un agreement done in much more stringent terus.
What i am sug csting to you is that Kr. rudney was told when he first raised sore question of the propriety of your agency, taut ali was well, that your agency was being conducted according to the terms of an agreement between Ar. Forrest and yourseif, and a copy of timb
agreement was given to him?
A. Yes.
That copy included clause 14 which provides for the appointment of a
firm of auditors?
A. Yes.

1 suggest that Mr. Fudney was never told, and in fact so far as i know was not aware until be heard during the sitting of this Commission, that there had been any purol variation regarding the countersign ture of cheques. Do you know whether there is anything that renders that
suggestion incorrect?
I did not ask Mr. Boney questions about my agreement.
But you will appreciate what my suggestion ist
Yes.
That Mr. Puaney was not fully informed of the exact nature and terms of that agreement, if the evidence given by you and kr. Forrest is
correct, asswing that it is?
Yes.
That is a serious matter even if it were nere inadvertence? It would
be serious inadvertence would it not – to forget to tell a senior Treasury official that there was in fact no skilled controller on the
financial side of the agency?
A. i did not know that I should.
A.
I am not making any allegations a ainst you or any charge against you but you will admit that it is a serious mutter, it does not loos too
well when it is put in these cold terms?
I personally did not know that i had anything to do with Ar. udney. I never had anything do to with the Treasury.
q. Except that you would like to inve him approve your shroffs an secure
toen?
