Mr. Lawrie. You stated previously that you would give me a point of order if I answered the question.
Mr. Moulder. You didn’t answer the question.
Mr. Lawrie. I responded; I certainly responded to the question.
Mr. Moulder. Mr. Wheeler, repeat your last question.
Mr. Wheeler. Would you relate briefly to the committee your employment record?
Mr. Lawrie. That was not the question that was put to me.
Mr. Wheeler. It is the last question I asked.
Mr. Moulder. This question is now being propounded to you.
Mr. Lawrie. That was not the question that he asked me to answer, and that I would get my point of order.
Mr. Velde. I think I can clear up the matter. The question he is referring to is the chairman’s question as to membership in the Communist Party at the present time or at any time in the past. And I think the Chair very well stated that if you answered the question instead of refusing to answer, invoking the first and fifth amendments, then you would be given an opportunity, as you put it, to make a point of order, which is not within your rights at all.
