NORD chairman Jerry Oglow says the total is just a guess on the part of staff. Oglow says,'We really have no experience in doing 19 service review all at once, so we had tocome up with a number to work towards. It is our sincere hope that it would be significantlyless then that.' The review process will start next month.
