It is great to have Mr. O'Connor. His recollections obviously are accurate and I hope he puts them on paper for the future because far too often, we read so-called history books and we can see the inaccuracies in them ourselves. It would be important that a person like Mr. O'Connor, who has no agenda and who only wants to recall the facts, would do so. He made such a contribution and he was generous in his mention of so many other people. Mr. O'Connor's list of people was not exhaustive and he emphasised that.
