Mr. Wheeler. Would you advise the committee of your occupational background prior to your present occupation?
(The witness confers with her counsel.)
Mrs. Pierce. I wish to invoke the fifth amendment on this question.
Mr. Wheeler. On all prior occupation?
Mrs. Pierce. Yes, sir; that is on all prior occupation.
Mr. Wheeler. Isn’t it a fact that you worked for the United States Government at one time?
Mrs. Pierce. On this question, too, I wish to invoke the protection of the fifth amendment.
Mr. Moulder. Do you mean to say that your employment in the United States Government may tend to incriminate you?
Mrs. Pierce. I have already stated my answer, sir.
