Mr. Agnew indicated that he would be grateful for such assistance. Beginning shortly thereafter, Green delivered to Mr. Agnew six to nine times a year an envelope containing between $2,000 and $3,000 in cash. Green's purpose was to elicit from the Agnew administration as much state work “for his engineering firm as possible. That purpose was clearly understood by Governor Agnew both because Green occasionally expressed his appreciation to the Governor fox state work being received by his company and because Green frequently asked for and often received from the Governor assurances that his company would get further state work, including specific jobs. Between Mr. Agnew's election and inauguration as Vice President,. . Wolff contactied Green, at Mr. Agnew's instruction, for the purpose of preparing for Mr. Agnew a detailed written computation of the work and fees which had been awarded to Green’s company by Governor Agnew's administration. After assisting Wolff in the preparation of such a compilation, Green subsequently met with Mr. Agnew, who noted that Green's company had received a lot of work from Governor Agnew's administration and stated that he was glad that things “had worked out that way. Mr. Agnew then went on to complain about the continuin; ‘ financial burden which would be imposed upon him by his position as Vice President and to express the hope that Green would not stop his financial assistance to Mr. Agnew. To Green's surprise, Mr. Agnew went on to state expressly that he hoped to be able to be helpful to Green with respect to the awarding of Federal engineering contracts to Green's company. a <i eo . - ee cr en id Fe a ed
