With due respect to every other legal opinion, it would not be accurate to allow someone to attend and equate the two as equal. We are not as a country under any implication of Mr. Bradley's opinion. We would be under an implication of where the Commission would go with its opinion, and we would have to defend that. There is a question mark over the work of this committee if we allow at every point legal opinion on something on which we have asked the Commission to give its weighted opinion. We are going down a wrong road.
