MATTHEWS: How many guys haven't been accounted for?

(CROSSTALK)

SCHAITBERGER: ... well, certainly, that there are scores of our members that still have not been accounted for.

But the point is...

MATTHEWS: You mean, if you were to dig through the dumps, to be very blunt about this-for people watching, I'm sorry, but this is a political charge you have got to deal with. You're saying, if you went through the dumps, you would find skeletons of people?

SCHAITBERGER: Unfortunately, there are remains that would be found in the dumps. And, unfortunately, there are remains that are still part of that site, and they were continued-we continued to be find them and discover them up until a few months ago.

MATTHEWS: What were they attempting to screen for those people, for their remains?

SCHAITBERGER: The fact of the matter is, Chris...

MATTHEWS: Would it have been doable?

SCHAITBERGER: The point is, though-I have got to make this point.

The point is that, when Rudy Giuliani decided to go from recovery to full excavation, it was within 24 hours after they recovered the $230 million of gold and silver bars in the Bank of Nova Scotia's vault.

MATTHEWS: What do you mean? I don't get this. What is the connection between finding $200 million in gold and stopping the search for bodies?

SCHAITBERGER: Because, in my opinion, it was more important for him find the gold than it was to continue to find and recover remains.

MATTHEWS: But he already found the gold.
