MR. TYSON: Objection, he has already

hearing. He is trying to impeach him with something he
didn’t know anything about.

MR. DENIS DE VLAMING: Judge, he has

already testified that he has some knowledge about it,
and I think I have an opportunity to impeach him.

impeach him with a document that is thirty years old.
