premature.
	When and if General van der Merwe brings testimony, and if he agrees with any of the claims of 
my learned friends, then it will be available to you.  The other names made available by Captain van 
Jaarsveld to them give them adequate opportunity, if granted sufficient time, to contact these persons.  And 
even if these witnesses are not very willing to bring testimony, they can none-the-less the brought before 
you and it is therefore not necessary that it must be this State witness who brings this testimony.	This 
is the applicants' application and it must not be made necessary to bring a State witness before this 
Committee when other witnesses can in fact give this testimony.
	None-the-less the Prosecution is not in any way attempting to keep information from the public 
and even less so from this Committee.  If the Committee would like to clear up any particular matter from 
the side of the Prosecution, the Prosecution will make every attempt to support this Committee in this 
regard, but this, however, is a spur of the moment application, no effort has been made to bring other 
witnesses in this regard and if General van der Merwe is cross-questioned with regard to the State Security 
Council, then the information made available to my learned friends during the consultation, can be stated to 
him and in that way the entire matter will be possibly dealt with.
I thank you.
