1 them yourself?
2 A. No, I did not do them myself. I think they came from a
3 book.
4
5 Q. If you look under Campaigns on the second page.
6 A. Yes.
7
8 Q. Second paragraph.
9 A. Yes.
10
11 Q. It says:
12
13 " Perhaps the most successful campaign we have initiated."
14
15 That means London Greenpeace, does it not, or Greenpeace
16 London? Which do you like to call it?
17 A. I normally tend to call it London Greenpeace.
18
19 Q. All right, so let us call it London Greenpeace.
20 A. Yes.
21
22 Q. "Perhaps the most successful campaign we have initiated in
23 recent years has been the one against the McDonald's

25 worldwide movement."

42
43 MR. RAMPTON: Well, this is an official, and I use that word

45 document?
46 A. "Official" is not a word I would like to use attached
47 to any document to do with London Greenpeace.
48
49 Q. I agree with you, but there is no way a document -- and I
50 assume this went out with demonstrations and the like and
51 everything, when anyone wanted to know anything about the
52 group?
53 A. Yes, it was handed out to people who wanted to know
54 more about the group but that did not mean that it was the
55 opinion of everyone within the group.
56
57 Q. Yes, but there is no way that the regular members of the
58 group or the regular attenders at group meeting, if you
59 prefer, the regular members of the group would have allowed
60 this to go out if it seriously misrepresented their point
