If the Deputy will remember, we discussed the reports from Westminster and Congress. The recommendations of the Washington report made no reference to Ireland. In fact, it recommended changes to America's own taxation system. The Senate and Congress introduced legislation that made no reference to any of the points that the Deputy has been throwing out at this meeting like confetti. I did not mention his comments because he did not bring our committee into disrepute. He agreed with the terms and conditions of the sub-committee.
