From FBI surveillance tapes, following is a comment that Terry Wilson, president of the corn processing division at

ADM, made to the other lysine producers at a 1994 meeting in Mona, Hawaii:

I wanna go back and I wanna say something very simple. If we’re going to trust each other, okay, and if I’m

assured that I’m gonna get 67,000 tons by the year’s end, we’re gonna sell it at the prices we agreed to . . .

The only thing we need to talk about there because we are gonna get manipulated by these [expletive]

buyers—they can be smarter than us if we let them be smarter. . . . They [the customers] are not your friend.

They are not my friend. And we gotta have ‘em, but they are not my friends. You are my friend. I wanna be

closer to you than I am to any customer. Cause you can make us ... money. ... And all I wanna tell you again

is let’s—let’s put the prices on the board. Let’s all agree that’s what we’re gonna do and then walk out of

here and do it.
