On the recordOctober 27, 2000
we asked. To the attorney for the special interest group we asked, ``Did you have knowledge of this lawsuit that was under seal, that was held confidential by the Court?'' All he had to do was answer, ``No, of course not. I am a private citizen. Why would I know of a sealed document?'' Of the two government employees, we wanted to ask, ``What service did you provide to receive three-quarters of a million dollars?'' Because one does not get something for nothing in this world. We could never get these basic pertinent questions answered. That is the truth we were seeking.
