BL: OK. So I could legally say this is Brian Ley from the GMAC but I’m talking to you as a <br />private citizen. That would be OK? <br /> <br />SW: Ah… I would say… <br /> <br />BL: In clarifying that and I have ties to GMAC but I’m talking to you as a private citizen. <br />‘cause I see Slim do that with the USDA – he comes in and gives this USDA pitch and says <br />OK I’m taking my hat off I’m now talking to you guys as a private citizen. <br /> <br />SW: Yes. But I would probably put the emphasis on the private citizen. <br /> <br />BL: OK. So as long we’re clear we can state who we are so that way nobody can say, well, <br />everybody knows that you’re entitled to GMAC and you just weren’t making it clear. <br /> <br />SW: Yes. <br /> <br />BL: No, we need to make it clear that we have ties to a group but we’re talking to you as a <br />private citizen. <br /> <br />SW: Ah, yeah, and I will – how do I say this – so here is just – so lobbying is specifically <br />defined as seeking the influence of a politician or public official on a particular issue. <br /> <br />BL: What issue? <br /> <br />SW: It includes persuading and interest representation in the act of lawfully attempting to <br />influence the actions, policies and decisions of government officials, often legislators or <br />members of regulatory agencies.

Abraham and I can go to Honolulu on <br />opening ceremonies – talk to the heads of the committees as GMAC but if we talk to an <br />individual since we’ve got a good rapport with a lot of these people, say, hey, this is <br />Brian, glad you made it through reelection, how’s everything going? We can do that <br />correct? <br /> <br />SW: No. No. So that’s crossing the line. <br /> <br />BL: Why is that crossing the line for being honest? <br /> <br />SW: \[Unclear\] - That’s mixing it up too much. That’s – because you’re there for official GMAC <br />business – your business there has to official GMAC business. You wouldn’t be able to <br />10 <br /> <br /> <br />
