QUESTION: (OFF-MIKE)

WOOD: Yes, I don't want to characterize substantively. Let me say this: From my perspective, the questions have been fair, consistent with the request made by Chief Beckner about new questions dealing with information developed or that has been found since June of 1998. So it's going very smoothly and I hope it's being productive for the investigation.

P. RAMSEY: I feel very comfortable with them and I believe they're asking pertinent questions, so I'm happy to be here.

QUESTION: Are they looking seriously at other suspects right now?

One more question.
