    "ocrText": "-2-\nMr. Fairless' remarks lead Dr. Steelman to believe that the steel companies\nfor the first time seemed to be prepared to honestly negotiate. Furthermore,\nMr. Fairless indicated that they were going to negotiate without strings\n(that is, without relation to prices) and at the proper time it probably\nwould be necessary for him to talk about prices. However, he wanted to\nbe free at this time to state clearly that he had not discussed any price matters\nwith Dr. Steelman.\nThe working committee adjourned for lunch at about 1:20 at which time\nMr. Stowe had a chance to talk with Mr. Goldberg. He said it seemed to him\nthat the steel companies really had the intention of bargaining although it\nwas a little early to come to a conclusion but up to that point the meetings\nhad been amicable and profitable. He further indicated that after Dr. Steelman\nand Mr. Stowe left the joint meeting Mr. White suggested they adjourn to a\nhotel for discussions but Mr. Fairless said he felt that they should remain\nhere for discussions.\nThe subcommittee returned at 3:15 and went into sessions and remained there\nuntil 7:20 p.m. at which time they adjourned for the evening, indicating to the\npress that they planned to return at 10 a.m. the next day."
