Regarding #1, you say it "refers to a consensual encounter in my hotel room in 2006 where we mutually decided, in a polite discussion in fact, that taking it any further would not be appropriate, and there were respectful and platonic encounters afterwards." To clarify, are you saying that this mutual decision was reached in the hotel room? Or was this discussed subsequently? Sincerely, Peter Aldhous HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_031269
