MR VISSER
Mr Chairman, for your information may I refer to pages 97 and 603-605.  General, in the evidence before this Committee reference was made to an incident at Nietverdiend.  We are not going to go into the details of that incident but if I remember correctly what it entailed was injecting certain occupants of a combi motor vehicle and thereafter driving the combi into a ditch and blowing it up with the resulting death of some number of persons.
	At page 97 of the record, at line 20 thereabouts Mr Chairman, that paragraph deals with the Nietverdiend incident, it was suggested to General van der Merwe that there would be evidence to the effect that you, General, telephoned Brigadier Cronje and congratulated him with his success of that particular operation.
	And if I then may refer you to the other references, pages 603 and following Mr Chairman.  It deals with the incident again from page 603 and at page 605, well perhaps at the bottom of 603 line 30 I may read to refresh your memory.
"The Botswana Police investigated this car wreck and the remains of the persons in it.  There were some newspaper reports after which General Viktor phoned me to ask me whether it had been our staff who were hurt.  I told him that was the case".
Well that's not strictly correct because Mr Chairman if we recall correctly I think it was a member of the South African Defence Force that was hurt, but be that as it may.
"I told him that was the case.  He congratulated me with that operation".
	Now General you've been listening to what I've been reading to refresh the memory of the Committee members, what do you say about that evidence?
