I could not identify with that broad a statement that the Senator from Maryland made. But I would readily agree that, based on what I have read, there certainly was not cooperation by a number of Navy officers. They did not cooperate with the original investigation; some of them did not. I am sure that within that there must have been some misleading statements and there must have been some effort by individuals to cover up. I would not conclude from that that there was a broad conspiracy, because I do not have enough evidence to warrant that. But there certainly was not cooperation by a number of Navy personnel with the Navy investigation, as well as the IG investigation. I would agree.
