During its operation, the committee met throughout different parts of the United States and interviewed many witnesses.

The committee interviewed 150 witnesses and reviewed 500,000 pages of documents.

Even at this late date, the committee has not interviewed the Kennesaw officials who arranged the course.

On Jan. 6 the committee interviewed candidate No. 89 and offered him the job.

According to sources on the board, the committee never interviewed another candidate.

Mara said the committee had interviewed "more than five" candidates for the job, but refused to say who they were.

The screening committee would interview the candidates and tell the county chairman - but not the candidates or the general public - who was approved.

The committee interviewed more than 200 applicants for the position.

So far the committee has interviewed 223 candidates and recommended 98 for appointments.
