CHEN et al. v BOUCHARD et al. - Page 61



          Interference No. 103,675                                                      

              And, it falls squarely within either the "business records"               
              or "catchall" exceptions to the hearsay rule, Fed. R.                     
              Evid.803(6) and (24) and is therefore admissible.                         

    By invoking the hearsay exceptions of the Federal Rules, Chen et al.                

    have implicitly conceded that the documentary materials and testimony               

    concerning said documentary materials sought to be excluded are                     

    hearsay under Federal Rule 802. Accordingly, the narrow issue for us                

    to decide is whether or not Chen et al. have established that the                   

    documentary evidence falls within one of the hearsay exceptions set                 

    forth in the rules.                                                                 

              In order to come within the exception under Federal Rule                  

    803(6), Chen et al. were required to prove, in the words of the rule,               


                                        61
