A.

Yes, that's correct.

Q.

And you knew at this particular point that very few of

these factories were actually up and running, isn't that right?

A.

That is correct.

Q.

Because you went through and asked specifically what was

going on with the factories.

Angola, there was a joint venture agreement, money had come in,

but the factories were still being constructed, right?

A.

Yes, um-hum.

And that in the United Arab Emirates, Ras al-Khaimah, that

there was a factory there, but there was one being constructed,

constructed, but it was taken down and being sent to China,

11

that Mr. Osorio had represented that former President Clinton

however, given the basic necessity for housing in such a large
