MR DORFLING
It goes even further than that Mr Kruser because the Attorney General addressed a further following up letter to you dated the 15th October 1996 trying to clarify the position and I make reference to the extract from page 2709 of the record of the inquest proceedings, Mr Chairman.  The Attorney General in it's letter to you records the following:  "Only one firearm register was furnished to this office together with loose documentation.  A copy thereof is attached hereto.  Brigadier Kruser must be requested to peruse it and confirm whether this is indeed the register he is referring to in paragraph 5.  He must set out who kept this register and what were his orders in this regard."  And then the important part:  "He must also set out whether any further documentation was kept, he must state whether the register can assist him in adding anything to this statement."  In other words, you're specifically requested to supply particulars of any further documentation that was kept pertaining to the issue of firearms to specific guards and then we turn to your response to that question - if the Honourable Committee would just bear with me for a second please, Mr Chairman.  It's at page 26 of the Amnesty Application proper - your response is:  "To the best of my knowledge two registers have been furnished to the office of the Attorney General.  They are the only registers of which I am aware and to which I have referred.  I was the person who kept these registers.  I do not believe that the registers can assist me in adding anything to my statement."  Why didn't you disclose the fact of the existence of what you perceived at that point in time, not to be a register but some other documentation that would reflect these particulars?
