Through you, Mr President: Senator Gallagher, when you talk about a 'current controversy', I take it that that is an intended reference to the Bell litigation, which was the subject of my statement to the Senate this morning.

What I have given is a very thorough account of all of the events in relation to that litigation—a statement of over 30 minutes, I might say—in which every step, every detailed step, in the course of this matter was addressed. And, Senator Gallagher, I have nothing to add to that statement.
