-----have repeatedly heard that there is a problem with communication. I have heard that it was a communications issue, an isolated case and that nobody knew. We all know now. I am saying to the witness, as the chief doctor, that the message in this memo has nothing to do with difficulties with cervical smears. It concerns controlling the message and anticipating screaming headlines. That is the risk that is being discussed here.
