CHAIRPERSON
Now, we're informed that it's not ripe for hearing, it's not before this Committee.  The factors pertaining to that incident is subject to an application.  Because of that, the applicant acquires certain rights.  Can we overcome those problems because of those rights?  That's what I would like to hear you on.  Is it possible to just disregard those rights which he has in this hearing?  Is he not going to be put into a prejudicial position?  Is there no risk of that?  I think that's the art or the purpose of cross-examination in the first place, isn't it?
