I think you could reasonably infer from my description that we don't currently consider him a witness or target, but I don't think it's accurate to infer or interpret from my description on Sunday of the three categories that Governor Richardson is in none of them. If you had asked me to specifically place Governor Richardson in one of those categories, separate from a general description, I would have, and if that would be useful now, I can; similarly, if it would be useful for me to give you our specific view on just whether he is currently a target, I can do that.
