The printed hearing record remains the official version. Because electronic submissions are used to prepare both printed and electronic versions of the hearing record, the process of converting between various electronic formats may introduce unintentional errors or omissions. Such occur- rences are inherent in the current publication process and should diminish as the process is further refined. ii VerDate 11-MAY-2000 14:25 Oct 01, 2001 Jkt 074524 PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 8486 Sfmt 8486 E:\HR\OC\C524A.XXX pfrm07 PsN: C524A C O N T E N T S Page Advisory of June 7, 2001, announcing the hearing ............................................... 2 WITNESSES American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, Nanine Meiklejohn ............................................................................................................ 128 Aviv, Diana, United Jewish Communities ............................................................. 124 Baptist Joint Committee on Public Affairs, J.
