Day 141 - 23 Jun 95 - Page 05
1 understanding what I am saying, that I had produced the
2 documents as a result of the Tower's report. That is the
3 point I was trying to get across. I just kind of assumed,
4 after hearing that, that the point was across.
5
6 If you keep going, to further show my confusion on this --
7 or other people's confusion -- when Mr. Morris starts
8 asking me about it, I keep saying to him: "This is their
9 report, not my report", because I cannot figure out why he
10 is asking me that it is my report when I keep trying to say
11 it is their report.
12
13 Q. I do not see that, Mr. Stein. Mr. Morris said to you:
14 "Mr. Stein, McDonald's extracted summary which was
15 allegedly based on the unavailable survey, in your third
16 paragraph in your summary" -- in your summary -- "page
17 1472"; and you say: "Third paragraph, yes." You do not
18 say: "Oh no, it is not our summary"?
19 A. If you would please go to line 27 with what Mr. Morris
20 asked me.
21
22 MR. JUSTICE BELL: On which page are we now?
23 A. Page 43, my Lord. Mr. Morris asked me a question about
24 average differential between city and suburban starting
25 rates for McDonald's: "....restaurants included in the PUP
26 survey is actually 11 cents". He is dealing with some
27 words and some confusion, I believe, with regard to words.
28 If you will look at my response, I am saying, really, this
29 is TPF&C's report, and I am trying to get the point across
30 at that time as vividly as I can. I do not understand why
31 I am being asked the question. Here it is: "They were
32 trying to mirror what they thought the time period was that
33 PUP had used, and they are trying to emphatically say there
34 that" -----
35
36 MR. JUSTICE BELL: That is another point.
37 A. My Lord, the only point I am making is, I realise there
38 may have been some confusion, but I made several
39 attempts -- and there are others in the transcript -- where
40 I tried to clear up the confusion.
41
42 MS. STEEL: The position is, is it not, Mr. Stein, that you
43 have changed your story because you have got yourself in a
44 tight corner that you want to fight your way out of?
45 A. Not at all. When Mr. Morris asked me about it a couple
46 of days ago, I used terms such as "photocopy", it was a
47 photocopy of what TPF&C had done. I have, many, many
48 times, tried to get across the fact that this is TPF&C.
49
50 Q. The photocopy pages was the reference to the last three
51 pages of the document, which are the charts -- the last
52 four pages, the charts.
53 A. It was also in reference, from what I recall, to the
54 entire document.
55
56 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Do we actually have the original of that
57 document in England, or is it in America still? I need to
58 know. We all have a photocopy in our bundles ---
59
60 MR. RAMPTON: Yes.
