(The witness confers with his counsel.)
Mr. Lawrie. I am through conferring with counsel.
It seems to me that there are two questions. One is where I am working now. And the other is did I have anything to do with the Communist underground.
Mr. Wheeler. You weren’t responsive to the first question. We are now proceeding along with the interrogation to another question.
Mr. Lawrie. Which question are you asking now?
Mr. Wheeler. I am asking if you were on an underground assignment for the Communist Party last June.
(The witness confers with his counsel.)
Mr. Lawrie. Well, if it will help the committee any, as I said in the beginning, that any and all questions that I am going to have to—due to the many oppressive and repressive laws, both on the Federal and State level, I am going to have to invoke the first amendment and the fifth amendment, which have to do with communism or anything of that category.
Mr. Wheeler. Where were you last June? What part of the country? Where were you residing?
