Subject: Re: Statement from Ray Santilli

Earlier today I contacted Ray Santilli and passed on to him the
statement from Sims and Leir.  I asked Ray to clear up the confusion
about just how they got the film and when.

Here is Ray's response, which, I think, should tie up any loose ends:

Dear Bob,

Please feel free to circulate this.

The story circulating that I gave film material directly to Sims and
Leir is not entirely correct. Earlier this year I invited Reg Presley to
my offices for lunch. When Reg arrived he had with him both Darrell Sims
and Mr Leir.  I took them for a Chinese meal during which Reg asked if I
would provide film for the purposes of analysis as he wished to have the
results before his intended conference at Earls Court in London.

Obviously I do not carry the film with me or keep it at the office
therefore I was unable to give them film during this meeting. In saying
that I promised to supply a few frames. Some days later (not sure when) I
met Philip Mantel for lunch and provided him with a few frames to pass on
to Reg.  I assume Reg passed the film onto Darrell which is fine by me.

There also seems to be a misunderstanding regarding whether the meeting
with Reg was on my birthday.  One birthday a year is already one too much,
I'm getting old and my hair is falling out. Why would I want two a year?

My one birthday is at the end of September.

Regards,

Ray
