Mr. Rankin. This 10-percent figure for John Thorne and the contract with regard to his appointment then was his suggestion so far as you know?
Mr. Martin. As far as I know. I think we had discussed it.
Mr. Rankin. You had discussed it?
Mr. Martin. I don't know exactly how we came to these figures as far as that is concerned.
Mr. Rankin. But you think you had discussed it before the meeting at the coffee shoppe that you described?
Mr. Martin. Probably so.
Mr. Rankin. Did you suggest the amount?
Mr. Martin. I don't know.
Mr. Rankin. You don't recall whether you did or he did?
Mr. Martin. No.
