Thank you for taking the time to clarify your remarks. While I am
uncomfortable with the negative campaigning, I'm glad to hear at least that
the objections in your October post were directed just to these three
specific Americans, and one specific American company, and that American
participation on the project is otherwise welcome. I also appreciate your
comments regarding the importance of a diverse board, the responsibilities
of board members, and your commitment to making this race about the
candidates.
