The Agreement required petitioner to assign at least six
employees to WTC-related work: One to process logs in the vats

two to remove veneer from the lathes; one to place veneer in the
dryer; and one to remove veneer from the dryer. The Agreement
provided that these individuals were to remain petitioner's
employees at all times. Petitioner was also required to provide
