Or is this what you mean?

3 you, Dr. Parsons.
4 THE WITNESS: You're welcome.
5 MR. FUGETT: Any follow-up?
6 MR. KIDD: No, sir.
The job of those at the FBAR is to make sure the statutes are followed. I realize you think they can simply bend the rules, but this is all PUBLIC information. If they issue an entity a permit things better be in order, or someone Tim doesn't get along with can go after them.
