It should be further noted that the above statistics include duplication in cases where the same proprietary was subject to audit in a number of years and intervention took place each time. 3. From a policy point of view, release of this material would provide the House Select Committee with information on true names of proprietaries which has, up to now, been denied to it under the rule that true names of cover mechanisms, cooperating individuals, and corporations would not be provided.
