9 Mr. Morris, on page 68?
10
11 MS. STEEL: Sorry?
12
13 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Page 68, 25th January 1990, there was a Dave
14 there.
15 A. I do not know, from memory, my Lord, I am afraid.
16
17 MR. JUSTICE BELL: It is merely in case Mr. Morris wants to put
18 anything about that.
19
20 MR. MORRIS: 25th January.
21
22 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes. Do you see in the first paragraph, the
23 fifth line -----
24
25 MR. MORRIS: Yes. I do not know. (To the witness) You do not
26 remember whether it was the other Dave or me?
27 A. I do not remember now, no.
28
29 MR. JUSTICE BELL: No. Thank you.
30
31 MS. STEEL: You have said in paragraph 16 of your statement
32 that -- you do not actually remember whether Mr. Morris was
33 there or not, but you have said that I participated in
34 discussions where the majority of the evening was focused
35 on the future of the group and its anti-McDonald's
36 campaign, those discussions being that the anti-McDonald's
37 campaign was not really going to be a very -- well, it was
38 only going to be a very small part of what was going on?
39 A. As we said earlier, the anti-McDonald's campaign was

46 there silent at every meeting, you assumed that I must have
47 been contributing to the discussion?
48 A. No. I do not know now. I have no recollection now.
49 I do not know what I remembered when I made the statement
50 three years ago.

53 anything, I could have been arguing against -- Mr. Gravett
54 keeps bringing up about the anti-McDonald's campaign and
55 wanting to do this and wanting to do that, and I could have
56 been arguing against that? You cannot remember?
57 A. I cannot remember.
58
59 Q. You have noted that the main emphasis of the group in the
60 coming year would appear to be the world banks and the IMF,
