Mr. Moulder. The Chair directs the witness to answer the question.
(There was no response.)
Mr. Velde. Just a minute. I don’t think the record shows any answer to that. Do you want the record to show that you do not answer, that you remain silent?
Mr. Carlson. I wish to invoke the fifth amendment.
Mr. Tavenner. Will you tell the committee, in what activities did the group of the Communist Party of which you were a member engage?
Mr. Carlson. I again invoke the fifth amendment.
Mr. Moulder. The Chair directs the witness to answer the question.
(There was no response.)
Mr. Tavenner. Will you tell the committee, please, whether the Communist Party group with which you were affiliated was organized within any industry, within any labor union, or whether it was a street group of the Communist Party, or, sometimes referred to as, a neighborhood group of the Communist Party?
Mr. Carlson. Again, on the grounds of possible self-incrimination I refuse to answer.
