Handed-Over or Faxed?

"He said, however, that during the meeting in which he gave the memos to CBS, he was also told by a producer that his phone number would be passed on to Kerry adviser Joe Lockhart."

Ok, so maybe I missed it somewhere. I've seen several references to "handing" the documents to CBS during a meeting. If that's true, why all the fuss about the Kinko's FAX information at the top of the docs?

Does it matter?
