          to turn to its own counsel.  Further, I strongly believe that
          CCWG's independent counsel must remain Sidley Austin and Adler

          Brussels, Geneva, Hong Kong, London, Munich, Shanghai,

          Adler) will (a) tell us when they don't have the expertise to
          help us, and (b) work with us on working methods to make our
