Transcript of October 13, 2000, Hearing
1 COULD BRING IT OUT SOONER?
2 MS. LUYMES: THE SHORT ANSWER IS I DON'T KNOW THAT
3 ANYBODY IS GOING BACK THERE. I KNOW THAT I AM GOING BACK
4 THERE, AND I'M GOING TO MAKE A POINT OF GOING TO THE OFFICE
5 OF INDEPENDENT COUNSEL TO RETRIEVE THEM, AS WELL AS A CLEAN
6 COPY OF THE OFFICE OF INDEPENDENT COUNSEL'S REPORT, WHICH
7 THIS COURT NEVER HAD BEFORE IT, AND I THINK WOULD BE
8 HELPFUL TO THE COURT IN TERMS OF BALANCING THE PUBLIC
9 INTEREST AND TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS, INDEED,
10 ANY PUBLIC INTEREST IN THESE PHOTOGRAPHS. BECAUSE THAT IS,
11 INDEED, AS I UNDERSTAND THE 9TH CIRCUIT'S DECISION AND AS
12 THE COURT WELL UNDERSTOOD FROM OUR PRIOR BRIEFING, THAT WAS
13 THE ISSUE BEFORE THE COURT.
14 THE COURT: I UNDERSTAND WHAT THE ISSUE IS. OKAY.
15 MR. FAVISH?
16 MR. FAVISH: YOUR HONOR, IF I MAY --
17 THE COURT: YES.
18 MR. FAVISH: I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THE CONCERN
19 ABOUT MAINTAINING THE INTEGRITY OF THE ORIGINAL
20 PHOTOGRAPHS. HOW THE COURT WISHES TO VIEW THEM, I DEFER TO
21 THE COURT, WHETHER THE COURT WANTS TO VIEW THEM OUT HERE,
22 OR FOR SECURITY REASONS, GO BACK TO THE OFFICE OF
23 INDEPENDENT COUNSEL ON THE EAST COAST AND VIEW THEM TO KEEP
24 THEM SAFE.
25 THE COURT: YOU WANT ME TO GO?
