13、bonds to bring it in line with other market interest rates which have been falling all year. For instance, money market mutual funds are now yielding just over 5 % ; five-year treasury notes are trading at about 6.5 % . So the government has been paying a premium to people buying savings bonds, and
14、its turned out to be an expensive way to finance the public debt .The relatively generous 7.5% rate on the bonds has made them very popular in the past few months.

We seemed to be pretty evenly divided on it, so it really needed a vote, but the chair chose to
18、“take the feeling of the meeting“ instead, and I felt he was unduly influenced by the opinions of one or two very vocal people. And it was a pretty important matter, too, because our design department had come up with a range of materials that would entail radically changing the manufacturing proces
19、s. We agreed to go ahead with it, but we were taking a real risk. Speaker 2 Well, we once had a meeting about how to get raw materials exactly when we needed them: you see, sometimes theyd come in very soon after wed placed an order, and would fill all our storage space, and at other times productio
20、n would have to stop because wed run out of what we needed. I reckoned that we should renegotiate the agreement we had with the company concerned, to build in a time-scale.

The trouble was, some people had made up their minds about the best method before the meeting and though it was all very polite, they just ignored what th
24、e others said. Honestly, I was pretty annoyed. Speaker 4 I wish everyone who chaired a meeting was trained in how to do it.
