In this particular case, you got me. In the general case,
though, I still think my arguments have merit.
I would leave it to the members to decide whether this should
affect the recommendations we make in this case. I would like to
point out, though, that recommendations of this committee are taken
to set a precedence, and perhaps we should be thinking in gernal
terms when we make the recommendations.
