Criminal No. 00-033 Judge Marvin Katz Violations: 15 U.S.C. § 1 and 18 U.S.C. § 2(a) Filed: 02-06-01

The United States intends to limit its questioning of Robert Krass to his knowledge concerning Mitsubishi and its role in aiding and abetting the conspiracy. Accordingly, the Government does not oppose the defendant's motion.

The Government notes, however, that it has been the defendant which has introduced evidence of "rumors" of price-fixing in the 1980's. Should the defendant pursue this area on cross-examination of Mr. Krass, the Government does intend to address his knowledge on this subject on redirect.
