Is that right. Mr. Colletti! Mr. COLLETTI. Yes. Mr. COSTELLO. However, the lateral files, that is a different proposition altogether. There was a high incidence of defects in lateral files. Senator DANFORTH. Had they been inspected by GSA inspectors? Mr. COSTELLO. Yes. Senator CHILES. The same GSA inspectors that inspected the double shell chairs? Mr. COSTELLO. Well, since normally the same personnel are assigned to the same plant, yes, it would be reasonable to assume that they were inspected by the same people. Senator CHILES. Our next witness this morning will be Dr. Andrew Fowell and Dr. James Wright of the National Bureau of Standards. Would you stand and take the oath! [Whereupon, Dr. Andrew J. Fowell and Dr. James R. Wright were duly sworn, and were examined and testified as follows:] Senator CHILES. I would like to first extend to you our warmest thanks for the extensive efforts that you have made in our behalf. especially since our original plans called for a much tighter time schedule. You ended up doing a lot of work for us in a short period. I know you are also engaged in other testing work for us that doesn't relate to matters that we have on hand today, and I want to thank you in advance for that effort, too. We have received and examined your report and would like to state for the record that it is another example of the type of professional work which adds to the National Bureau of Standards' reputation for being the ultimate authority in the field. You have given us a 40-page report plus indices which lays out in great detail how you went about making your tests and what the results of your tests were, and that report in full will be placed in our record.
