1 We were asked -- I will explain it in a minute then.
2
3 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, can I say about this -----
4
5 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Wait a minute. Mr. Morris has not done what
6 he wants to do yet.
7
8 MR. MORRIS: So there are two Civil Evidence Act notices on some
9 interview, report of an interview, with Paul Preston and,
10 I cannot remember, I think Bob Reardon is quoted as well.
11 I do not know if Bob Reardon is alive actually?
12
13 MR. RAMPTON: He is alive and well and living in this country,
14 which is what I was going to say.
15
16 MR. MORRIS: Right. I was not aware of that.
17
18 MR. RAMPTON: If he has any evidence to give, he must give it in
19 person. Mr. Morris can call him.

21 MR. MORRIS: The other thing is Jeffrey Giuliano, we have a
22 signed statement that he made.

40 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Give it to me on Monday or some time next
41 week.
42
43 MR. MORRIS: I have only got one copy -- maybe we can copy it
44 here. The second thing, apart from the Civil Evidence Act
45 notices, is an opinion of an attorney in Chicago, Reed
46 Milsaps. This was something that arose as a result of
47 cross-examination of Robert Beavers. I have not got the
48 reference with me, but there was some discussion about or
49 some cross-examination regarding the law in America and you
50 said something to the effect of, whether multi-national
51 corporations should or should not be able to sue critics
52 was a matter for Parliament, not this court -- something
53 like that -- but that you would, that is something that you
54 would welcome an opinion on, or something like that,
55 regarding what the law was in America because I asked him a
56 lot of questions about whether ----

58 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I am very surprised if I said it quite like
59 that. What I might have said was that if you wanted to
