     1   Q.   Have you seen this before?
     2        A.  I have seen it in poster form, yes.
     3
     4   Q.   Poster form, right.  Do you know whether that is what you
     5        are referring to in your statement?
     6        A.  I was told by the environmental task force that they
     7        had developed a policy which I take to be this statement,
     8        this policy, you have here.  I am not aware of any other
     9        policies.
    10
    11   Q.   This, you say, you have seen as a poster.  Is that a poster
    12        that has been distributed to stores to put up in their ----
    13        A.  I am not certain.  I was not involved.
    14
    15   Q.   You do not know?
    16        A.  I was not involved with this department in 1990.
    17        I have certainly seen it in certain office locations since,
    18        but I cannot be certain it was distributed to stores.
    19
    20   Q.   In the last year or so, would that be right?
    21        A.  In the last two years.
    22
    23   Q.   In the last two years?
    24        A.  Yes.  My involvement has been in the last two years.
    25
    26   Q.   But do you think you saw this about two years ago or what,
    27        is that what you are saying?
    28        A.  No.  I have seen it -- it is certainly in the office
    29        building in various departments and I have seen it there.
    30
    31   Q.   You do not remember roughly when you first saw it?
    32        A.  No.
    33
    34   MR. MORRIS:  So this policy that we have got in front of us, is
    35        this the first time these issues were brought together in
    36        that kind of statement?
    37        A.  I do not know.  I have certainly seen "reduce" "reuse"
    38        and "recycle" mentioned many times before that, but in a
    39        public statement I honestly do not know.
    40
    41   Q.   Yes, because when you say in your statement that "The task
    42        force developed and published our corporate environmental
    43        policy which has been adopted by the company and it is
    44        monitored by Mike Matthews", then we asked you when, you
    45        said you that is what you were told by someone from the
    46        task force, is that correct?
    47        A.  Yes.
    48
    49   Q.   So it is not in fact within your knowledge?
    50        A.  Not my direct knowledge.  I was not part of the task 
    51        force.  I was told that they had produced a corporate 
    52        environmental policy statement.  I subsequently saw the 
    53        poster.  Have we finished with these?
    54
    55   MS. STEEL:  With the pink volume, yes.
    56
    57   MR. MORRIS:  Let me just ask you one further question.  When you
    58        are told that it has been adopted by the company, you do
    59        not actually know?
    60        A.  Well, I am sure they are not telling me lies.
