secrecy in reference to dissemination of grand jury and other investigative materials, 
including bank records, loan application files, and federal tax return information.  There is 
nothing in the Court’s order to prohibit counsel from discussing the case with co-counsel 
and persons employed by attorney who are necessary to assist counsel of record in 
preparation for trial.
