     2   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Are you aware of that, in fact?
     3        A.  Yes, I am.
     4
     5   Q.   Have you actually seen the bit of video film?
     6        A.  No, I have not seen it.
     7
     8   MR. MORRIS:  You have said that you have seen records?
     9        A.  Yes, I have seen records.
    10
    11   Q.   But what records have you seen that give you the confidence
    12        to say -- that was in 1983, yes, when that film was made -
    13        that was not the case?
    14        A.  I have seen signed records from our suppliers, from
    15        Coope Montecillos, which indicate that they have not
    16        exported any product from Costa Rica to the US.
    17
    18   Q.   Is that a letter?
    19        A.  It is a letter.  It is a signed letter.
    20
    21   Q.   One letter you have seen?
    22        A.  No, I did not say that, sir.  I have mentioned --
    23        I have stated several times that there were more than one
    24        letter throughout the years up until this year.  You can
    25        see that on the transcripts ---
    26
    27   Q.   But in terms of early 1980?
    28        A.  -- please do not interrupt me, sir, again and give me
    29        the courtesy of finishing your questions without
    30        interruptions.  It would be fair.
    31
    32   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You have made your point the moment you asked
    33        not to be interrupted and want to continue, Dr.
    34        Gonzalez. It is quite right  -- in fact I put it in my note
    35         -- "I also saw letters to McDonald's saying they do not
    36        export to McDonald's.  They are up to 10 years old.  There
    37        was more than just one letter".  That is what you said just
    38        a little while ago.
    39
    40   MR. MORRIS:  But, I mean, in terms of around the time of that
    41        film being made in 1983, the early 80s, what evidence have
    42        you seen, apart from maybe one letter going back that long,
    43        around the time that gives you the confidence to say it did
    44        not happen?
    45        A.  You keep saying one letter.  I have stated that I have
    46        seen more than that.
    47
    48   Q.   From around that time?
    49        A.  Throughout that time I said -----
    50 
    51   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  But can you remember what date the letters 
    52        were? 
    53
    54   MR. MORRIS:  Just give us some idea.  Have you seen 10 letters
    55        or 20?
    56        A.  I do not know.  I have probably seen more.  I have seen
    57        more documents.
    58
    59   Q.   From that time?
    60        A.  I did not say from that time.  I said from the latest
