Mr. Maurice Quinn:

Over the history of our previous sales of helicopters, ships and so forth, the standard practice was that the spare parts were part of the sale. It would be done on that basis where something was sold from within our own property. It would be included. As I explained, the spare parts had no certification on them. They were sold as seen, so there was no come back on them. It was very important for us when they were sold that there was no liability or come back on the State from the sale. It was also important that, as they were redundant for us, they were not part of the Air Corps' inventory. It was done on those bases. Due to the nature of the way the thing evolved, we did not discuss spare parts with the external expert. He was focusing on the jet itself. The spare parts did not, and would not, enter into the conversation because they are after the fact.
