May I suggest the procedure for today's meeting?

Roger

Certainly.

Bob

I assume you've brought the outline for the contract terms your company prefers.

Bob

Of course, we've drawn up some contract terms of our own.

Bob

So, after we both run through the proposals, we can concentrate on the areas that don't agree.

Bob

Does that sound alright with you?

Roger

That sounds fine.

Bob

Since Linda is sitting in on our negotiations, I've also asked her to take minutes for us.

Bob

So, at this point, I think we're ready to hear the new contract terms.
