Why, exactly, should a private organization be required (forced) to disclose 
agreements between itself and private individuals? Is the satisfaction of 
your curiosity so urgent as to compel the revelation of information to which 
you have no legitimate reason or need to possess? (which was the point of my 
noninvasive and reasonable remarks in the first place)
