Mr. Krahl. I am unemployed.
Mr. Wheeler. What was your occupation before becoming unemployed?
(The witness confers with his counsel.)
Mr. Krahl. With the chairman’s permission, I would like to make a very, very short statement, less than a hundred words.
Mr. Moulder. What was the question, Mr. Wheeler?
(The pending question was read by the reporter.)
Mr. Moulder. That question calls for an answer, not a statement. And you can reply or give the answer, and then make any explanation you wish if it is relevant to the question and your answer.
(The witness confers with his counsel.)
Mr. Krahl. Well, I have been employed with odd jobs the past 9 months; haven’t really been employed. I just worked a few days here and there.
Mr. Wheeler. Would you relate to the committee your occupational background for the past 5 years?
