1 20, and you should find, I hope, marked B a specimen copy

3 licence agreement used in the United States?
4 A. Yes.
5
6 Q. Is that what it is?
7 A. Yes, it is.
8
9 Q. Thank you. Do not bother with document C which are some
10 statistics about the National Labour Relations Board's
11 activities. Pass please to document D1 which should be a
12 three-page document consisting of tables of percentages, is
13 it?
14 A. Yes, it is.
15
16 Q. Is it headed: "1990 EEO 1 data"?
17 A. Yes, it is.
18
19 Q. Before I draw your attention to different parts of this
20 document, can you tell us how this document came into
21 being, please?
22 A. Yes, I had it prepared.
23
24 Q. You had it prepared for this case?
25 A. Yes.
26
27 Q. What are the data on which these tables are based?
28 A. There are two types of data here. One is McDonald's
29 information, and that information comes from a report.
30
31 Q. You will find that, perhaps, at D2?
32 A. Yes, I have it.
33
34 Q. Tell us about this report.
35 A. These are commonly known in the United States as EEO 1
36 reports. One thing the government does require, the
37 Federal Government of the United States, is that annually
38 every employer submits statistical information, if you
39 will, dealing with their employment, what the numbers of
40 minorities, women and whites are and males and females,
41 within their organisation at very specific levels. If you
42 notice on D2, on the left-hand side it specifies the
43 classifications.
44
45 Q. Yes, if you look at D2 -- this a government form then,
46 Mr. Stein?
47 A. It is, yes.
48
49 Q. It is filled on or completed by somebody called Melvin C.
50 Hopson who is described as a Director of Affirmative
51 Action. Is he a McDonald's person?
52 A. Yes, he is.
53
54 Q. He or his secretary or one of his minions has written the
55 numbers in in handwriting, is that what it is?
56 A. Yes, once in a while -- I am sorry, once in a while an
57 English word has a different connotation in American
58 English.
59
60 Q. Not for the first or the last time, Mr. Stein, I am sure.
