COMMISSIONER PAGANO: Yes.
MR. CONN: - - was party to an experiment of Conciliation Boards, called Problem Boards, in the early 1970s. He and I were just chatting about it. And, within your own internal deliberations, you might want to talk to Mr. Moore. He was a member of that, 'cause I was a university professor working with him; and he could tell y -- he can answer that question, precisely how you could grab this onto the existing state system.

MR. CONN: My name is Steven Conn, and I'm a retired Professor of Justice at the University of Alaska, and --

MR. CONN: -- during that co -- and during that period my life, I worked with Mr. Moore --
COMMISSIONER PAGANO: Yeah.
MR. CONN: -- in the village of Emmonak on the establishment of Problem Boards.
COMMISSIONER PAGANO: (Indiscernible) it's late.
COMMISSIONER BOYKO: Martin will tell you that I tried to drag him up here when I spotted him in the audience; but he was too shy and retiring (laughing).
COMMISSIONER PAGANO: Okay, we'll debate this later. Thank you.
COMMISSIONER BOYKO: But he's a valuable source to this Commission.
