In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Talmadge E. Mitchel, report preparer, states that he did not understand that the 10-G report was due because Ms. Walker-Alford lost in the primary. He also states that he was confused by the due date for the EDE-P report.
