EXHIBIT "B"

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE FOR CONDUCTING
INFORMAL BUDGET DISPUTE RESOLUTION

1. Dispute Resolution Conference(s) (DRC) should be telephonic
   whenever possible to conserve time and expense.

2. A DRC should normally begin by each Party acknowledging that
   he/she has recently read and understands the United States
   Trustees' "Informal Budget Dispute Resolution Process" and
   the exhibits thereto, including this "Suggested Procedure
   for Conducting Informal Budget Dispute Resolution."

3. Both Parties should acknowledge to the Panel:

   1. that they have exclusively reserved the amount of time
      previously agreed for the DRC that day;

   2. that they each are willing to attempt in good faith to
      reach a compromise.

4. Normally, a brief opening statement of the issue, the
   reasons supporting the position of, and the desired outcome
   by the Standing Trustee should be stated.

5. Normally, a brief response to the issue, the reasons
   supporting the position of and the desired outcome by the
   United States Trustee should be stated.

6. Normally, the Panel will then speak separately and
   confidentially to each side privately, to explore the
   strengths and weaknesses of the case, to discuss the time,
   expense, delay and any other disadvantages of other forms of
   dispute resolution, and to determine what is needed for
   acceptable compromise, and to convey with permission, the
   irreducible needs of the other side.

7. Normally, the Panel will then carry settlement offers and
   counter offers back and forth until agreement of the parties
   is reached or the Panel determines the proceedings to be at
   an impasse.

8. If the Parties resolve their dispute, the Panel will assist
   the Parties in reducing to writing a description of that
   resolution for signatures. That document will become part
   of the United States Trustee's proposed budget submission to
   the Director. The submission will include the Process. In
   the event the Parties are unable to arrive at an agreement
   to resolve the dispute, the Panel may, on unanimous
   agreement of the Panel, within five (5) working days of
   conclusion of the attempted mediation issue a non-binding
   joint written recommendation to the Parties. The Parties
   may either accept or reject the recommendation or use it as
   the basis for further negotiation between themselves. The
   issuance of the recommendation by the Panel will conclude
   the Process. At conclusion of the Process, the Panel will
   complete and serve on the Assistant Director of ORO and the
   NACTT Chair a "Report On Result Of Informal Budget Dispute
   Resolution Process," Exhibit "C" hereto.

9. The initial task of the Panel is to facilitate, if possible,
   the Parties reaching a compromise agreement themselves.

10. These procedures may be varied in the discretion of the
    Panel.

11. If in the opinion of the Panel an impasse is reached, the
    Panel may, on unanimous agreement of the Panel, issue a
    joint written, non-binding recommendation only to the
    Parties within five (5) working days, which they may accept
    or reject or use as the basis for further negotiations
    between themselves. If not "accepted" by both, the Process
    will be reported by the Panel on Exhibit "C" as "no
    agreement reached". If the recommendation is "accepted" by
    both, the Agreement should be reduced to writing and a
    signed copy retained by each of the disputing parties only
    and a Report (Exhibit "C") immediately sent to the Assistant
    Director of ORO and the NACTT Chair by the Panel.

12. The Parties should not have any direct or indirect
    communication with the Panel on the issue in question prior
    to the DRC.
