     1        lot of them time on them I just want you to look at them.
     2        The first document is appendix 3, which should be, I hope,
     3        in your case, Mclibel support campaign summary January
     4        1994.
     5
     6   MR. MORRIS:  Sorry, which file are we in now?
     7
     8   MR. RAMPTON:  Mr. Preston, yellow 2, which is in bundle 1, I
     9        think.
    10
    11   MR. MORRIS:  I have not got any of those documents in these
    12        bundles.
    13
    14   Q.   Do you recognise appendix 1, Miss Steel?
    15        A.  Did you say 1?  I thought you said 3.
    16
    17   Q.   Sorry, I did say 3.  Do you recognise appendix 3?
    18        A.  Yes.
    19
    20   Q.   This would not have gone out without your support or
    21        approval, would it?
    22        A.  It is a long time since I have read it.
    23
    24   Q.   Well, my Lord, may I make a suggestion, that we take 5 or
    25        may be even 10 minutes because otherwise we will have to go
    26        through them line by line in open court.  I asked Miss
    27        Steel to read appendices 1 -- sorry, appendices 3 and 4.
    28        Appendix 3 contains 3 documents, appendix 4 contains 2
    29        documents.
    30
    31   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Right.  Well, I will come back at 5 past 12.
    32
    33                       (Short adjournment)
    34
    35   MR. RAMPTON:  Miss Steel, have you had a chance to look at those
    36        documents?
    37        A.  I have scanned through most of them.  I have not read
    38        them for a long time, but broadly they accord with my
    39        views, although I did not write any of them and there are
    40        parts of them that I probably would not have put if I had
    41        written them, but broadly they do accord with my views.
    42
    43   Q.   Yes, and no doubt in places the author had to have your
    44        cooperation in order to be able to write what he did?
    45        A.  I would expect so.
    46
    47   Q.   Yes.  No doubt you saw them before they went out?
    48        A.  Some of them.
    49
    50   Q.   Yes.  You do not disavow of anything that is in -- although
    51        you say you might not have written any of them, you do not
    52        disclaim or disavow anything that is written in any of
    53        those documents I take it?
    54        A.  I did not have time to read through them very
    55        carefully, and it is a long time since I read through them,
    56        but I did not notice anything that I would want to disavow.
    57
    58   Q.   You remember that, in fact, the last page of appendix 4--
    59        A.  The ones at appendix 4 were the ones that I barely got
    60        a chance to look at.
