     1   Q.   Do you remember that?  This is 1989.
              A.  Yes, I remember.
     2
         Q.   Did you write it -- no, you were at Perseco then?
     3        A.  I was at Perseco but I remember reading this.
 
     4   Q.   That is all I wanted to draw attention to.  That was
              McDonald's statement of it so far as this report, annual
     5        report, is concerned in 1989, its position in relation to
              environmental affairs.  So far as you are concerned, as
     6        the person at Perseco, is this a fair and accurate account
              of McDonald's position on environment at the time?
     7        A.  Yes, it is.
 
     8   Q.   You can put that one away, Mr. Langert.  If you would not
              mind, passing the coloured copy across to his Lordship.
     9
         MR. MORRIS:  Do you know when that report was published?
    10        Presumably, if it was a 1989, annual, it would be
              published the following year.
    11
         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  The copyright is 1990, McDonald's
    12        Corporation printed in the United States of America.
 
    13   MR. RAMPTON:  What I was asking Mr. Langert was, if I did not
              put a date on it I will, so far as you can recall, does
    14        that statement in broad terms, because it is a very broad
              statement, fairly represent McDonald's attitude on
    15        environmental affairs in 1989?
              A.  Yes, it represented it from my first day working at
    16        Perseco.
 
    17   Q.   From your first day at Perseco?
              A.  Exactly right.
    18
         Q.   So that takes us way back to 1983?
    19        A.  Perseco, mid-88 was when I joined Perseco.
 
    20   Q.   You are quite right.  There are a couple of other
              matters.  This time we need pink bundle IV, section 5 page
    21        274.  This is part of your EDF Task Force report, the
              final report.  It is table figure 41?
    22        A.  Yes.
 
    23   Q.   It says:  "McDonald's packaging made with recycled content
              in 1989".  This is all paper or paper board we are looking
    24        at here?
              A.  Yes.
    25
         Q.   There was a good deal of toing and froing this morning, or 
    26        maybe this afternoon, about the amount of recycled fibre 
              in your various items at various times whether, and how 
    27        much it consisted with pre-consumer, how much
              post-consumer.  Do you remember that?
    28        A.  Yes.
 
    29   Q.   This column, at any rate for 1990, seems to give us the
              answers, does it not?
    30        A.  For that point in time, yes.
