We also requested a written agenda so that there would be no misunderstanding or <br /> confusion concerning the matters and issue to be discussed. <br /> You confirmed during our telephone conversation that an informal <br /> "administrative meeting,"rather than a hearing,would be held at the "supervisor level," and that <br /> the purpose of the meeting was to explain to Unocal PHS/EHD's position on Unocal's <br />
