:14:00
Do you know if they were
secret, top-secret, confidential?
:14:04
- No, sir.
- In other words, you wouldn"t know the...
:14:06
- The degree of classification?
- No, sir.
:14:08
I see.
:14:11
L"m afraid l"m going to
have to excuse myself. L"ve got...
:14:15
... a rather important appointment tonight
which l"ve got to work on right now...
:14:19
... and I wonder if, Senator Mundt,
you would take over as chairman.
:14:28
- Mr. Chairman?
- Mr. Cohn?
:14:30
I have no further questions
of this witness at this time.
:14:33
I can say, we have the testimony
of Mrs. Markward...
:14:36
... the undercover agent for the FBI...
:14:38
... stating that Annie Lee Moss
was a member...
:14:40
... a dues-paying member
of the Communist party.
:14:44
The Northeast Club
of the Communist party.
:14:46
We have corroboration of that testimony
by another witness who was called...
:14:51
... and gave a sworn statement to the effect
that she also knew Mrs. Moss...
:14:57
... as a member of the Communist party.
:14:59
She"s already lost her job, she"s been
suspended because of this action.
:15:04
L"m not defending her.
If she"s a Communist, I want her exposed.
:15:08
But to make these statements as,
"We"ve got corroborating evidence...
:15:12
... that she is a Communist. "
:15:14
Under these circumstances
I think she"s entitled...
:15:17
... to have it produced here
in her presence...
:15:19
... and let the public know about it
and let her know about it.
:15:26
I don"t like to try people
by hearsay evidence.
:15:30
I like to get the witnesses here
and try them...
:15:35
... by testimony under oath.
:15:37
The chair will rule that the comment
of Mr. Cohn be stricken from the record.
:15:43
I didn"t ask that.
I didn"t ask that, Mr. Chairman.
:15:45
Whether we should try to produce
a witness in public...
:15:48
...because the FBI may have her undercover.
We don"t want to...
:15:51
You can"t strike these statements
made by counsel here...
:15:55
... as to evidence that we are having
and withholding.
:15:58
You cannot strike that from the press...
