recollection of the samples other than
3
generally what was on the request form
4
and what was in the report.
5
A.
Yes.
6
Q.
So you don't know who
7
extracted the samples or when or how or
8
anything like that; right?
9
A.
Not for certain.
I -- I
10
guess I would assume that Mr. Stewart
11
would have.
12
13
Q.
I...
But that's just an
assumption; right?
14
A.
Yes.
15
Q.
Okay.
16
Was there any ink on
the samples?
17
A.
Not that I recall.
18
Q.
Was there any toner
19
printing?
20
A.
Not that I recall.
21
Q.
And your report doesn't
22
indicate that the samples were anything
23
other than plain white paper; right?
24
A.
Yes.
25
Q.
You have no reason to think

2
that there were any inconsistencies or
3
anomalies regarding the color of the
4
samples; right?
5
A.
No.
6
Q.
So the color was consistent
7
on both sides of the paper samples;
8
right?
9
A.
From what I could see with
10
the very small piece, but we did notice
11
those little specks on one side versus
12
the other side.
13
Q.
Right.
Other than the
14
specks, there was consistent coloration
15
on the front and backs of the samples;
16
right?
17
A.
From what I could tell, yes.
18
Q.
Did you examine the
19
samples -- you examined the samples
20
visually before they were dissolved;
21
right?
22
A.
Yes.
23
Q.
Did you examine them under a
24
microscope?
25
A.
212-279-9424
Yes.

2
A.
Yes.
3
Q.
Now, here you're noting that
4
the paper contains optical brightening
5
agents, chemicals used to whiten it;
6
right?
7
A.
Yes.
8
Q.
What does strong mean?
9
A.
It came up brightly on
10
the -- with the -- when you put the
11
lamp over there, it -- basically if
12
you've ever seen it, it lights up.
13
me it lit up strongly.
14
Q.
To
And your report indicates
15
strong UV fluorescence in both samples;
16
right?
17
A.
Yes.
18
Q.
No indication that the
19
fluorescence differs across the samples
20
or from front to back or anything like
21
that; right?
22
23
A.
any detectable difference.
24
25
I didn't -- I didn't notice
Q.
In your third sentence you
report, "In the small punch outs

2
significant fluorescence differences
3
were not detected"; right?
4
A.
Yes.
5
Q.
You say you didn't observe
6
any significant fluorescence
7
differences.
8
9
A.
Did you observe any?
There may have been some
slight appearance, but I -- to me that
10
may not have been.
11
dealing with little, little pieces like
12
that it's hard to get a good comparison
13
on -- on some of them.
14
Q.
Right.
It -- when you're
And as I think
15
you've testified repeatedly today, you
16
didn't observe any difference in the UV
17
characteristics across the samples
18
front to back, one to the other?
19
A.
Not that I could detect, no.
20
Q.
Right.
Now, you also noted
21
that significant differences were not
22
detected, quote, in the small punch
23
outs.
24
sensible limitation because obviously
25
those punch outs came from only certain
