When one considers it, I have transacted a great deal of business on the behalf of other people. And if you will permit me I do not impute indirection, of course but your remark seems to require a footnote. It is true that I am Chairman of the Board on which you are a Director but it is not quite the whole truth. I as Chairman know absolutely nothing about this matter.
