Mr. Tavenner. Mr. Dennett, you were subpenaed as a witness before this committee in June of 1954, and you were called on the first day of that hearing, which was June 14.
Mr. Dennett. Yes, sir.
Mr. Tavenner. At that time you stated some special considerations you had in mind under which you felt that you desired not to testify and, as a result, you refused to testify on the ground of the fifth amendment.
Mr. Dennett. Correct.
Mr. Tavenner. Later on during the hearings, in fact on the next to the last day of the hearings, you and your counsel came to me and stated that after further considering the matter, you desired to appear as a witness.
Is that correct?
Mr. Dennett. That is correct.
Mr. Tavenner. As a result of that you were again called before the committee.
Mr. Dennett. Yes, sir.
Mr. Tavenner. The record of the hearing at that time reflects that neither you nor your counsel was approached by any member of the committee or the staff, or any representative of either the committee or the staff in an effort to get you to change your testimony.
