Did you receive any complaints or praise about the Paravant instructors' performance?

Mr. Roitz, other than Sebastian Kucharski, how many Paravant employees or independent contractors had previously been on Blackwater's 'Do Not Use' list?

How good of a job did Paravant instructors do on training up the Afghan soldiers?

Mr. Roitz, had any Paravant employees or independent contractors received a discharge from the military for any prior period of service that was not an honorable discharge?

Dr. Blake, I understand that there was an accidental discharge incident in December 2009 where one Paravant instructor accidentally shot another Paravant instructor on a training range in Afghanistan.

Given what happened with Paravant, do you believe that this is adequate?

Mr. Roitz, where are the weapons drawn from Bunker 22 now?

Dr. Blake, did the failure to reach the required manning level under the Paravant contract affect performance on the contract?

We have taken four actions in light of this experience.

What other changes to the company's business practices have you made in light of Xe's experience with Paravant?

Mr. Roitz, just prior to the May 5th shooting incident, Paravant lost many of its key on-site managers.

Mr. Roitz, did any Paravant employees or independent contractors have a record of receiving some sort of non-judicial punishment from the military for any prior period of service?

Dr. Blake, what was the required manning under the Paravant contract and was that manning level ever achieved and sustained?

Mr. Walker and Mr. McCracken, could unauthorized personnel easily access those training ranges?

Mr. Walker and Mr. McCracken, before you went to Afghanistan on the Paravant contract, did you believe that the U.S. military would provide you force protection on the training ranges?

Mr. McCracken. I received frequent feedback that the military was pleased with Paravant's performance on the contract.

Mr. Roitz, what change have you made to these other contracts to ensure that nothing else like this Paravant example happens again?

Mr. Roitz, have you received feedback from the customers on these other contracts as to how well your employees have trained the Afghans and if so, what has that feedback been?

Mr. Roitz, of this total number of Paravant employees and independent contractors, how many of those Paravant personnel had been convicted, prior to their employment by Paravant, at a criminal trial?

Mr. Walker and Mr. McCracken, how many Afghan trainees would be on the range in a given instruction group?

Mr. Walker and Mr. McCracken, where did you, in fact, live and work?

Mr. Walker and Mr. McCracken, did all Paravant employees go through some kind of Continental United States (CONUS) Replacement Center (CRC) training?

Mr. Walker and Mr. McCracken, were the training ranges enclosed by a perimeter fence?

We must avoid the kinds of mistakes that undercut our efforts to protect and earn the trust of the Afghan people.
