Mr. Wheeler. Were you fired from your job after the hearings here last June?

Mr. Lawrie. No, not I, because I wasn’t here.

Mr. Wheeler. Where were you?

Mr. Lawrie. I was working.

Mr. Wheeler. Where?

Mr. Lawrie. I am going to have to speak to my counsel for a second.

(The witness confers with his counsel.)

Mr. Wheeler. Were you on an underground assignment at that time for the Communist Party?

Mr. Lawrie. I said I would like to speak to my counsel at the present time.

Mr. Moulder. You may confer with your counsel.
