:56:02
- She agreed... - Mr. Cohn wanted
to know about Mrs. Moss's connection...
:56:06
...to tell the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth...
:56:10
...so help you God?
:56:14
May we get your full name
for the record, please?
:56:17
Annie Lee Moss.
:56:20
- M-O-S-S?
- That's right.
:56:22
Mrs. Moss, let me say for the record,
for your information...
:56:25
...for the information
of your counsel...
:56:27
...that you are not here because...
:56:31
...you are considered important
in the Communist apparatus.
:56:36
We have the testimony that you are,
and have been, a Communist.
:56:40
We are rather curious, however,
to kno whow you suddenly...
:56:45
...were shifted from...
:56:48
...a worker in a cafeteria
to the code room.
:56:51
I am today much more interested...
:56:55
...in the handling of your case...
:56:59
...by your superiors
than in your own personal activities.
:57:03
However, counsel will question you
about your own activities also.
:57:07
- Mr. Chairman!
- We will not hear from counsel.
:57:10
You have been told what the rule is.
:57:13
If you have anything to say,
say it through your client.
:57:19
Chairman. Did you begin work
at the General Accounting Office in...
:57:23
...1945?
- Yes, sir.
:57:26
And, prior to that time,
had you been a cafeteria worker?
:57:31
Yes, I had.
:57:32
I see. While in the Pentagon,
since 1950...
:57:37
...have you had any connections
with coded messages?
:57:39
Have you ever handled
coded messages?
:57:42
- No more than to transmit 'em.
- Pardon me?
:57:45
No more than to transmit
the message.
:57:47
Than to transmit them?
Did you transmit codes?
:57:50
To receive or transmit messages
was all I had to do.
:57:52
And I've never been
into a courtroom in my life.
:57:55
Do you know the...
:57:58
...type of classification...
