Before writing the study, the panel of experts visited programs in 15 cities, interviewed several hundred people involved with them and reviewed studies of the programs.

At stage three though, the call-backs took place between 16 and 18 February when the show's panel interviewed the auditionees.

Seventeen panels interviewed candidates and made endorsement recommendations, several of which the full membership rejected.

But it had not previously been disclosed that the panel interviewed him about the early planning of the Bush administration.

Dr. Barondess said the panel would interview workers, patients, doctors and administrators and hoped to issue a final report in six to eight months.

The panel interviewed victims and their relatives, as well as four members of the security forces.

The panel interviewed children, parents, security officers, government officials and medical officers at Woomera.

Neither panel, however, interviewed Admiral Poindexter or Colonel North.

The panel interviewed 772 people, including plant workers, government officials and evacuees, for a total of nearly 1,479 hearing hours.

I must enquire as to whether the panel actually interviewed the applicants, from whom the leader of the Institute for Future Studies was selected.
