15  those lines

17  and insert:  that would identify an applicant other than the
18  finalists significantly outweighs any public benefit that
19  could be derived from providing access to this information at
20  an earlier date. The Legislature also notes that, once the
21  finalists have been selected, it is necessary for a full and
22  adequate review and comparison of the finalists, that all
23  records and meetings related to one or more of the finalists
24  must be open to the public. The Legislature further finds
25  that, to ensure that other applicants who are not finalists
26  are given adequate protection while still providing public
27  oversight over the entire selection process, a three-year
28  period of closure of records and tape recordings and other
29  records of meetings, is sufficient to protect applicants and
30  to permit public oversight.
