In your willingness to grapple with this aspect of the issue, you were showing the sense of responsibility to the Commission’s proper functioning in the international community that has made you effective in carrying out your responsibilitiesas the International Commissioner. In connection with your considering the international issues at stake in our case, I urge you to meet with Kirsten Embree, Esq., of the Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt firm in Ottawa Canada, who has expertise about the principles and issues of international and trade law that were triggered by the Bureau’s treatment of TMI. We submitted her 24-page opinion as Attachment D to our letter to Chairman Powell on October 29, 2003. I believe Kirsten would be a helpful resource to you and Jennifer, who I know also has significant experience in these areas as well. If you could let us know what dates might be available for such a get- together, I will ask Kirsten to join me in a meeting with you and Jennifer to discuss these matters. Sincerely, Wharton B.
