GARWOOD, Circuit Judge,
concurring:
I join all of Judge Wisdom’s excellent opinion. I append this writing simply to *453note that I remain convinced of the correctness of the view expressed in my dissenting opinion in James v. River Parishes, 686 F.2d 1129, 1133-34 (5th Cir.1982), while nevertheless recognizing that the majority opinion there is binding on us. I also observe that Bunge Corp. v. M/V Furness Bridge, 558 F.2d 790 (5th Cir.1977), like the other authorities relied on in this connection by the James majority, was tried before the July 1975 effective date of the Federal Rules of Evidence. See Bunge Corp. v. M/V Furness Bridge, 396 F.Supp. 852 (E.D.La.1975).
