Mr. Dulles. I think it would be interesting if that was being done. Maybe it should be done, just to have a good look at it. If you could advise us as to whether that is under consideration, it might be helpful.
Representative Ford. I think it was my understanding that the Treasury Department is making a review of this whole setup, are they not?
Mr. Smith. Yes, I understand so. I understand that we have discussed with the Chief Justice an arrangement, sort of a question and answer thing to begin with on this because of the sensitive nature of this information, to see if adequate information for your purposes can be developed that way, and then at that point or at some point in the future it will be decided how this question of the review and new procedures will be handled. That is my understanding of it.

Mr. Smith. I am Fred B. Smith, Deputy General Counsel of the Treasury Department.
Representative Ford. Will you stand and be sworn.
Do you solemnly swear the testimony you are about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
Mr. Smith. I do.
Mr. Dulles. I wonder if the witness would just repeat.
