Council will be meeting next week to make a determination as to how they are going to vote regarding the Chairman of the Civil Service Commission. Lambert said that the Law Director stated or suggested to Council that they are not to seek out further information regarding this until the hearing - he is wrong. Council has every right to talk to anybody they want, interview and gather information from outside legal sources. He suggested Council look at Congress as an example of a body that holds hearings and in which their staff seeks out information and take testimony from everywhere and put everything together before they make a decision. 10
