Professor Joe Barry:

I will take that item first. I received a copy of Mr. O'Connell's report and know there is a lot of detail in it. Many of the issues he raises are being raised by this committee. I e-mailed him back about two months ago and said I would meet him. He responded and said he was not quite sure what that would do. I reiterate my offer to meet him. I do not know whether the committee has seen this letter.
