Mr. Moulder. You went by bus over there?
Mr. Stenhouse. I say bus. I mean public transportation.
Mr. Velde. Mr. Chairman, I think we ought to make it clear we have no intention of having the public press or anyone else feel that any of the persons you mention who were associated with you in your professional work at that time are connected in any way with the Communist Party or any of its functions. We have hitherto tried to make that perfectly clear. The mere fact that you mention a name of one of your associates should lead no one to believe that he is in any way connected with it or has been connected with the Communist Party or Communist Party activities.
Mr. Moulder. Did other employees in your section attend any of the meetings to which you have referred?
Mr. Stenhouse. No.
Mr. Moulder. In line with Congressman Velde’s suggestion the names mentioned by you in that connection will be stricken from the record.
Mr. Stenhouse. I want to make one clarification.
In regard to this matter of references, I don’t want it on the record that I didn’t give any references. If they were required I suppose I gave them. But don’t remember now who I gave.
(The witness confers with his counsel.)
Another point, Mr. Chairman, in regard to this matter of remembering the names of the people who were at these discussion groups, there were not more than 3 or 4 meetings as far as I remember. There were very few in number.
