On the recordApril 30, 1997
The report was sent in, so on the report they outlined the wage scales that are paid or were paid to these workers on this project and for any Federal project or any project that had Federal dollars on it, these were going to be the wages that were going to be paid. So this was bogus information coming into Washington from the State of Oklahoma, and for any project now being constructed in Oklahoma that is the wage rate that was going to have to be paid. They tried to do the same thing in Kentucky.
