I have no objection to studying the endowments and providing a legal opinion on them. However, I think it is more appropriate that I be assisted
in this task by two lawyers, namely Mr. Sion Gigi and Mr. Ibrahim Khazzoum, so that it becomes a committee composed of
three lawyers instead of one lawyer. With great respect to Your Excellency.
