and sent to a lab
here in Massachusetts
that was highly recommended.

1:00:04
They were not told
what the samples were
or where they came from.

1:00:09
They were told
that they were materials...

1:00:11
that would be involved
in a court case...

1:00:14
relative
to an industrial accident...

1:00:17
and they should be prepared
to testify...

1:00:19

So what the judge did is,
he accepted the report
as an informational exhibit...

1:01:20
as opposed
to an evidentiary exhibit.

1:01:23
And every bit
of the information
in that report...

1:01:27
had to be testified
under oath into the record.

1:01:42
My publishing imprint
in England,
Focal Point Publications,

1:01:45
we published
The Leuchter Report.

I can't remember
where I first met him.
