Mr. Wheeler. Where are you presently employed?
Mr. Lawrie. I am going to answer that question in this way: During the time the committee was here—I believe it was last June—I read in the newspapers where a number of workers, men and women, lost their jobs.
Mr. Moulder. You are not responding to the question. You must be responsive to the question and not take the question as an excuse for making a speech.
Now the question is: Where are you now employed? Do you decline to answer?
(The witness confers with his counsel.)
Mr. Moulder. Give him a reasonable time to decline or answer, and proceed with the next question.
Mr. Lawrie. At this time I am going to request that I be allowed to talk to my attorney.
Mr. Moulder. Very well. You will have an opportunity to confer with your attorney.
(Witness confers with his counsel.)
Mr. Wheeler. Are you ready to proceed, Mr. Witness?
