I've been trying to get actual figures, however given the tight time
frame that we have to respond in, this will be difficult to put
together.

Do you have anything the we can cite that you can put your hands on?

I'm going to be pushed for time for the rest of the day.

Would you like to put some words together?

If so, I'd appreciate it if you can place your comments in context
within the 3rd draft document and get them to me by 6pm tonight.

I will then collate the final draft for review.

Bruce
