Most of the time one attorney (R. Viktora or R. Thies) and one scientist were present. During our initial meeting with Searle personnel, James Phelps stated that a Searle monitor must be with us at all times during our data review in order to "protect the data".
During the course of our investigation, various individuals were interviewed in an attempt to obtain all available raw data and reconstruct the manner in which the study was conducted, as accurately as possible. Since many employees involved in the study or support areas are no longer employed at Searle, others were interviewed who had general knowledge of such parameters as statistics and chemistry.
Significant interviews are attached as Exhibits, as referenced. Individuals interviewed were as follows:
