: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...
:58:00
- Do you know if they were secret,
top secret, confidential? - No, sir.
:58:04
- You wouldn't know the degree
of classification? - No, sir.
:58:08
I see.
:58:10
I'm afraid I'm going
to have to excuse myself, I've got...
:58:14
...a rather important appointment
to work on right now...
:58:18
...and I wonder if, Senator Mundt,
you would takeover as Chairman?
:58:27
- Chairman. Uh...
- Cohn.
:58:29
I have no further questions
of this witness at this time.
:58:32
We have the testimony of Mrs. Markward,
the undercover agent for the FBI...
:58:36
...stating that Annie Lee Moss
was a member, a dues-paying member...
:58:39
...of the Communist Party...
:58:41
...the Northeast Club
of the Communist Party.
:58:44
We have corroboration
of that testimony by another...
:58:48
...witness who was called
before the Committee...
:58:50
...and gave a sworn statement
to the effect...
:58:52
...that she also knew Mrs. Moss
as a member...
:58:55
...of the Northeast Club
of the Communist Party.
:58:57
She's already lost her job. She's been
suspended because of this action.
