Applicants for the $94,000 Government job have been short listed to three Canadians, Telecommunications Minister E.T. (Bob) Richards confirmed yesterday.

He said he expected to be speaking to the applicants soon and hoped to have the position filled by March.

The post was advertised late last year, first in the daily Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail, and then locally. Sen. Richards said he did not know if any locals had applied for the position.

Former Telecommunications Minister John Barritt told The Royal Gazette in September that the advertisement's early appearance in Canada was due to that paper running a special supplement on telecommunications at the time.
