Mr. O’Connell. Yes.
Mr. Tavenner. What other plans?
Mr. O’Connell. As far as I was concerned, I am sure I had notified them unless there were funds sent to me I could not come down here at all.
Mr. Tavenner. Would it be logical that Mr. Silberstein would tell you to proceed by other plans, when to adopt your construction it would mean that that just meant for you to remain where you were?
Mr. O’Connell. Well, actually, I imagine if I had all of the correspondence or wires here I could probably give you the full and complete story. That is way back, almost 5 years ago. It is hard for me to recall but I am pretty sure that what I told him if I didn’t have the funds, whatever work I would have to do on the bill it would have to be done from the State of Montana.
Mr. Tavenner. I desire to offer the document in evidence, and asked that it be marked “O’Connell Exhibit 3,” for identification purposes only, and be made a part of the committee files.
Mr. Willis. It is so ordered.
Mr. Tavenner. On July 28, 1950, 2 days later, there was another telegram signed “Silberstein” directed to you and charged to the National Lawyers Guild, which reads as follows:
Means now available for travel. Telephone me collect.
Will you examine that telegram, please, sir?
