103 you were in and out of this meeting?

No, I think what I said was, and I'll let the record reflect, that it would have been improper and unlawful for us to follow any improper or unlawful order from the chain of command. And these gentlemen, decidedly so, made the decision not to follow any improper orders, and you can ask them—

—what they talked about in that room.

So we have, and that's what I'm asking about.

Yeah, you've asked one gentleman about some memo that no one's ever seen. I'm not—I'm telling you, from the best of my memory, I don't remember that. If you have the memo, I would take a look at it.
