I also commend Mr. Browder on a powerful presentation. I am familiar with the facts through the Council of Europe but I have a number of questions that have not been asked through which I seek clarification. Does the US legislation cover asset freezing or is it only concerned with visas and access to America? If so, will Mr. Browder give a brief explanation? He also mentioned that there has been analysis of part of the $230 million involved in Sergei Magnitsky's case and that he had uncovered fraud in addition to other irregularities. I presume the analysis was conducted by a private individual or company. How did Mr. Browder gather the information? Does the April deadline concern only the list of people who will be affected by the legislation signed by President Obama last December?
