Government Operations committee  You said SolTerra?

Government Operations committee  We haven't, and that's the point.

Government Operations committee  As I said, my father had some dealings with the government based on his involvement, and I learned a little bit from him as far as process goes, but I deny you'll find anything with my name on it with any government body anywhere. I have never done it. I didn't know about the Lobbying Act, and to be quite honest, as a venture capitalist, government takes too much time and too much effort.

Government Operations committee  First of all, as far Green Rite is concerned, I'm sure you've read the reports that say Mr. Wright of Green Rite has said he never did anything with anybody and, as well, doesn't acknowledge any lobbying as such. But with us, originally, I thought we had a finder's fee agreement completed with Green Rite, and that's all I thought we had; my understanding now is that we don't even have that.

Government Operations committee  I don't even remember that. Is this in my correspondence, my timeline?

Government Operations committee  Maybe at a social event? Or what? I don't know.

Government Operations committee  Okay, but where are you seeing this, though?

Government Operations committee  He may have come. I don't know if he was at the luncheon at La Castile originally. He may have been, but I don't recall that at all. I could certainly check and get back to you.

Government Operations committee  Again, on the RLP stuff, you'll see exactly what I saw. As far as correspondence goes, yes, we signed an NDA based on the company's request and provided them with that, and then we went ahead and started to talk to VCs about what RLP's requirements were, unaware that anything was done with RLP and the government in any way, shape, or form.

Government Operations committee  Okay. Sorry. I'm losing you.

Government Operations committee  There's a lesson there to be learned, right?

Government Operations committee  Well, I mean, to me that says that he has ongoing business with the government and that he may have built up relationships, but that's his business. You can't hold me accountable for what somebody else has said they—

Government Operations committee  Sure, and Mr. Glémaud is an attorney, correct? He served with the justice department. This contract went to him. I'm going to provide you with all the correspondence, which will show you that Mr. Glémaud came back with the revisions. So he reviewed this document, made changes to it, and then delivered what he wanted to have signed to our counsel.

Government Operations committee  Yes.

Government Operations committee  I think anybody who knows Mr. Jaffer knows that he doesn't really have any influence over policy-makers.
