Q Now, in the letter, which, again, I appreciate you giving us this morning, but we have not had a chance to review before.
Mr. MacDougald. And I would like, on the record, to apologize to you, , and to the committee and staff for being so late in delivering this item to you when you were inquiring about our position.

Having just gotten into the matter, we have been working on this right up until yesterday afternoon and preparing what we were going to say, and we just weren't ready to tell you.
Mr. MacDougald, I understand. These are important issues, and we want to make sure you and your client are fully prepared.
Mr. MacDougald. It is a very important matter.
We are trying our best to get to the fact and want to make sure we are treating all witnesses with fairness and professional consideration.
But, going back to the letter, attached to the letter is a letter that you received
