Mr. Carlson. To the best of my knowledge, that is right.

Mr. Tavenner. But in 1949 you withdrew from the Communist Party? Is that correct?

(The witness confers with his counsel.)

Mr. Carlson. There was no formal act of withdrawal.

Mr. Tavenner. You did not hand in a written resignation?

Mr. Carlson. That is right.

Mr. Tavenner. Did you notify any functionary in the Communist Party that you were withdrawing from the Communist Party?

(The witness confers with his counsel.)

Mr. Carlson. I failed to reregister.
