I said the obligation of the committee was to request evidence that was more
solid before proceeding to request the source. I did not say that it was
possible to provide evidence that was postively damning. I only said that the
committee was obliged to request evidence that would pass a more stringent test
than being merely circumstantial before proceeding to the next step.
