All right. I will not second-guess Mr. Quinn on that. I will conclude with more of a remark than a question. I am troubled by the fact that Mr. Quinn is playing down as an unfortunate oversight something that I would regard as nothing but common sense, which is that one would have one's documentation in a coherent fashion and filed appropriately so that not just the Comptroller and Attorney General but also anyone else - for any purpose - could put their hands on it. When one goes to the trouble of obtaining legal advice, it is for a good purpose. It is not just to pad out a file. It is important information.
