I had only a brief chance to glance at it. However, I note it raises a number of serious concerns, some of which have been outlined by Senator Cullinane. It suggests that it would not be possible to guard against the facilitation of bogus activities, tax avoidance and other illegal practices. I would like the committee to invite congress to discuss its concerns. They are the experts and the points they raise appear to be substantial. I would like the direct benefit of their insights.
