Mr. Niall Cody:

I do not think there are extensive files going back to the 1991 opinion, but the basis on which the attribution is made is in the records. There are records but not extensive files. It is clear in the entire process that there is not a big transfer pricing methodology because there was not a transfer pricing methodology in use and that would not have been a common standard feature in 1991.
