The door has not been closed and when the convention center authority's feel that an appropriate package is prepared the Governor is willing to listen and meet with us again sometime in 1992/93.

It has been through his participation that the Northwest Municipal Conference has supported the Private Industry Council for a number of years and it is fitting the council recognizes him for his contributions to that program. This is one of those unusual programs which started several years ago with federal monies and now for the most part is moving along at its own pace. With its own funding it serves private industry with training means and opportunity for persons to develop their skills so that they can become gainfully employed. 2.
