Mr. McCloy. Please be seated.
This, as you know—the constitution of the Commission and its purpose—we want to ask you something about the firearm aspect of our hearings, and certain characteristics of this rifle that we would like to hear from you about, and if there is anything else you have that can throw light on our problems.
If you can state for the record, first, your name, and where you live.
Mr. Simmons. My name is Ronald Simmons. I live near Havre de Grace, Md.
Mr. McCloy. Mr. Eisenberg?
