>"My apologies, Admiral.  I must have misunderstood the situation relating
to the Safety Officers.  What percentage increase in FTE's (OOC: full time
equivalents) would your request involve?"

>"If I am allowed to combine multiple facilities as I have laid out for
you-I would say 8 new Safety officers. This is a 8% increase. That way I
can shift some of the burned-out current ones into other positions and
refresh our system."

>"Eight percent sounds like a small amount.  Is it possible that the changes
you are proposing would >bring about enough savings to pay for the new
Safety Officer positions?"

Lorin was hedgy, "I suppose it's possible but I would be very concerned
about being caught short-handed. Would you accept a 5% increase instead for
now with the hopes that the savings will balance. We could add some clause
to allow me to add the 3% at a later time if needed?"

"Administrative positions can be cut by 2%. I will not cut Research
positions because they will be vital to the increased production in the
merged projects."
Sharez agreed.  "Eliminating research positions would defeat the whole purpose.  If you add these administrative cuts to the budget would that even out the balance?  If not, what percentage of an increase would you still need?"
