Keith and Tim,
   Probably best to stay out of this, but Caspar
 is here at the meeting near Rome, so he sent me this
 email response from Mike.

    Presumably, Keith, Malcolm knew nothing about this when
 he was in CRU.

    I seem to get a mention in the letter to Pacchauri.

 Cheers
 Phil

Dear All,

Please find attached (confidentially) a draft of a point-by-point
response to the House Committee inquiry.

I am currently talking w/ lawyers--the best option would be to have
their request (or, more to the point, any possible subpoena that might
follow it up) dismissed in court as frivolous in nature.

Naturally, my response aims to drive home how frivolous the request is
(in particular, how it is based on transparently false premises).

Any suggestions/comments would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any feedback,

mike
