Okay, well I was told that it could go up, but okay, if it can’t go up. It is, Mr. Hurley, bullet points for a Cabinet meeting of 28 September 2008. There is a handwritten note at the end of that particular document as well, but in the end of the printed part it says, "Governor of Central Bank in touch with ECB." And the handwritten note at the end says, "As of 9 a.m. today ... Governor has notheard from Trichet”, with the “not” highlighted and underlined. Can I ask you, was that a reference to you specifically in a one-on-one manner trying to contact Mr. Trichet with regard to the difficulties that were emerging on that particular date?
