     1   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Could you just help me while we are having a
     2        pause?  Under 6, "It is known that in Western countries
     3        where people usually eat a lot of meat, butter and other
     4        dairy products, there is", then what are the next words?
     5
     6   MS. STEEL:   "A higher risk".
     7
     8   MR. MORRIS:  The point I am making on this, Dr. Arnott, is that
     9        this is, presumably, something that goes direct to the
    10        public in lay persons' terms, presumably even to people
    11        that are concerned they may have cancer themselves?
    12        A.  May do.
    13
    14   Q.   And how to protect themselves.  So, that paragraph 6
    15        mainly and 3, you would not call those irresponsible?
    16        A.  I would call them sensible.
    17
    18   Q.   If we just move along -----
    19
    20   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Do you have a date for this, Mr. Morris?
    21
    22   MR. MORRIS:  We have the original here.
    23
    24   MS. STEEL:   It is produced by the Cancer Education
    25        Co-ordinating Group of the United Kingdom and Republic of
    26        Ireland, but it has not got a date on it.
    27
    28   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  58 was published in 1989.
    29
    30   MS. STEEL:   If it is of any help, I picked it up from the
    31        Health Education Authority office in 1990 or 1991.
    32
    33   MR. MORRIS:  Just let me get my thoughts organised here.
    34        I have another couple of general recommendations and
    35        reports to refer to, then we can move on.  The next one is
    36        No. 62 in that file.
    37
    38   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  In which file?
    39
    40   MR. MORRIS:  The file we just had ----
         A.  59 is the highest number I have.
    42
    43   MR. MORRIS:  It must be the next volume then.
    44
    45   THE WITNESS:  Have we finished with this?
    46
    47   MR. MORRIS:  I believe we have finished with that last bundle.
    48        The problem is I have extracted them from the bundle.
    49
    50   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Do not worry; it is volume III. 
    51 
    52   MR. MORRIS:  No. 62.  This is called "Diet, Nutrition, and 
    53        Cancer:  Interim Dietary Guidelines".  It is published by
    54        Sushma Palmer and Kulbir Bakshi, National Academy of
    55        Sciences, Washington DC, received November 1982.
    56        I believe -- we have tried to find the US documents -- do
    57        you remember the document in 1982 where they recommended
    58        that people cut down on fat to safeguard against cancer
    59        following some report of the National Academy of
    60        Sciences?  I could not find that report, so this seems to
