<div>"MR. RYAN: Well, from a legal perspective, this is why I
love you guys. I have never seen the United States government give
away anything without any strings attached before. And so there's a
real question in my mind whether -- with regard to some of the legacy
address holders who received early addresses who were in the Defense
or academic community but held Defense contracts, whether the issuance
of space at that time was pursuant to traditional government theories
of government-furnished material or government-furnished equipment.
The paper record is really pretty strange when one looks at it. And it
does appear -- to the extent that I've had an opportunity to look at
some of the paperwork -- that it's one of the few times in the history
of governments that they gave away something seemingly without a clear
set of strings attached to it. ..."</div>
