I thank Dr. Pierret for coming before the committee and giving us the benefit of his extensive knowledge of the area and the subject matter. No doubt we will have to visit this subject and similar ones again because the points made clearly indicate that the possibility of outside intervention is not on the agenda and that even it were, there is still a situation to be resolved thereafter. Following Dr. Pierret's submission, we will do whatever we can to pursue the points raised by the members and by Dr. Pierret. We will go into private session.
