the department of homeland security had a keen interest and the department of transportation had a keen interest, as well as the department of defense. this reporting was very important and something we modeled as we have gone from the pipeline sector to the rail sector. i think it has proven its worth because we know the reporting goes in. everybody gets the same report. it is not like you are getting a slightly different report where information can be different enough to cause confusion amongst the individuals in the agencies. the second thing we did was we required the companies assign a point of contact that was available seven by 24. often times it was two or three people, which was very helpful overall. one of the things we did in july -- in may the incident occurred. in july, we used specific measures that we required companies in the pipeline sector to implement as quickly as possible. it is important to note that when we issued this directive we did not issue it to every pipeline in the country. what we looked at is how does the department homeland security and sisa define the

the government lawyers have been asked to go away and talk to the department of homeland security andly argue the merits of the case today. the judge said that was for another day. so that the basic argument here is that prince harry has been open about his drug taking and his book and in articles elsewhere. and the heritage foundation says that means he either lied on his visa about when he entered the united states or the department for homeland security kind of turned a blind eye to it and ignored that because it's one of those things that can exclude you from a valid visa. now, we don't know what kind of visa he's travelled on or living here on. we don't know any of those details. but this is a, i think, an attempt to get hold of that information. but we won't know for some time whether or not that's going to be successful. and we certainly didn't hear any great arguments today on the merits on either side. i see. and gary, so given that very significant and large caveat, i'm going to ask a very caveated question. but given that we don't know any of those details but say we do lea

well, the department of homeland security has been told by a judge that they need to make a decisionwithin a week. our north america correspondent gary o'donoughue was at the court in washington. this was a pretty brief hearing, something less than one hour all told and quite technical in nature. essentially what the judge has done is he has asked government to go away and expedite its response to the heritage foundation and their freedom of information request for harry's visa details. that seems to have been given one week to happen and thejudge have been given one week to happen and the judge has said that they are not at the stage where they will argue the merits of whether or not the visa details should be released until that is happened. in essence this case is about whether or not harry told the truth. prince harry told the truth. prince harry told the truth on his visa application to get into the united states and given his public acknowledgement in his memoirs and other articles about his drug taking habits because on many us visa application forms you have to do be open abo
