Excellent.
Mr. Pelossi, on December 15, 2007, this committee, the standing committee referred to as the ethics committee, provided me with a list of priority witnesses to be called, and your name was included. We want to thank you sincerely for accepting our invitation to appear before us today.
Mr. Pelossi, we understand that you were an accountant and money manager for Mr. Karlheinz Schreiber from 1969 to 1991. We also understand that you were appointed the trustee of funds that were transferred between a number of industrial companies, such as International Aircraft Leasing, referred to as IAL; Thyssen Industry AG, referred to as Thyssen; and Government Consultants International, referred to as GCI.
Are these facts correct, sir?
