Phil, I have reviewed the draft disclosure and I believe that it misses the fundamental point that I and others resigned because the audit committee decided to terminate independent counsel to the committee. It was due to a specific action not the general handling of the investigation. I disagree with the words as drafted and request that they be changed to address the dismissal of independent counsel. Please advise.
