General President

R. P. VINALL Dear Sir and Brother:

General Secretary-Treasurer

It is my understanding that you have telephoned General Secretary-Treasurer Booker's

Vice Presidents: office to inquire as to the availability of the decisions that have been issued by

MASON M. WARREN Independent Hearing Officer Peter F. Vaira.

VERE 0. HAYNES Briefly, these decisions cumlatively total thousands of pages and are maintained on file

ENRICO MANCINELLI and are available for review at the office of the General Secretary-Treasurer. Copies of

CHUCK BARNES particular decisions can be requested and will be provided subject to the normal copying

JACK WILKINSON fee of $.07 per page. Alternatively, I am advised that Mr. Vaira has collected, indexed,

and will issue shortly in book form copies of his decisions. It has been the practice of

GEORGE R. GUDGER the International Union with respect to the similarly collected decisions of the Appellate

MIKE QUEVEDO, JR. Officer to provide a set of the books to any local affiliate requesting the same for use by

ARMAND E. SABITONI its officers and members, or to provide the books to the affiliate when requested by a

member thereof.

CARL E. BOOKER

Assistant to the

General President Accordingly, if you wish to review the docket maintained by the General Secretary

PETER J. FOSCO Treasurer at Headquarters, you may do so by making an appointment for that purpose. If

TERRENCE M. HEALY you are interested in obtaining copies of any particular decisions, please identify the

same and we will promptly forward them subject to payment of the copying charge.

RAYMOND M. POCINO Otherwise, we would be pleased to advise you once we have received Mr. Vaira's

EDWARD M. SMITH indexed and published volumes and then make arrangements for you to have access to

WILLIAM H. QUINN the same.
