     1        Greenpeace?
     2        A.   No, no.
     3
     4   Q.   Right.
     5        A.   The idea was that we would send one poster to them and
     6        if they wanted them, they could photocopy more.  I mean, we
     7        did not have a huge stockpile of posters waiting to be sent
     8        out.
     9
    10   Q.   Okay.
    11        A.   But the idea was to get -- if the groups could not
    12        produce their own posters for whatever reason, they would
    13        have one there available to publicise their own events.
    14
    15   Q.   Right.  Okay.  You said that you had a research file.  Do
    16        you remember?
    17        A.   Yes.
    18
    19   Q.   That you were building up, I think, from 1987 onwards?
    20        A.   Umm.
    21
    22   Q.   And what issues relating to McDonald's would that have
    23        material about?  Would it be just one issue or would it be
    24        all of the issues in the fact sheet and indeed other issues
    25        as well or what?
    26        A.   It would have been all the issues in the fact sheet
    27        plus other newly emerging issues as well, and this was
    28        another reason for my wishing to update the fact sheet, was
    29        that there were new issues emerging of things to do with
    30        global warming, the use of CFCs and things that were not
    31        mentioned at all in the fact sheet, but the research file
    32        covered all of them.
    33
    34   Q.   Right.  You said that you recall a letter sent to the group
    35        regarding a proposed trip to Moscow or something like that?
    36        A.   Yes, yes.
    37
    38   Q.   Mr. Rampton raised this matter towards the end of his
    39        cross-examination?
    40        A.   Yes.
    41
    42   Q.   If the letter was received by the group with a proposal --
    43        A.   Yes.
    44
    45   Q.   -- for the group, what would happen to that letter?
    46        A.   It would have been read out, yes.
    47
    48   MS. STEEL:  Just a couple of questions.  You said that you did
    49        not take any the fact sheets to the October 1989
    50        demonstration although it was possible that somebody else
    51        could have taken a few?
    52        A.   Umm.
    53
    54   Q.   If I had been handing out the London Greenpeace
    55        anti-McDonald's fact sheets throughout the whole or
    56        throughout a substantial part of the 1989, October 1989
    57        protest, do you think you would remember it or do you think
    58        you would have noticed?
    59        A.   Yes, yes, I do, I do.
