Senator Cooper. I am now called to the Senate. Mr. John McCloy will act as Chairman.
(At this point Senator Cooper departed the hearing room and there was a further recess.)
Mr. Eisenberg. How does that compare with the signature on the original card, Exhibit 801?
Mr. Cole. It is not the same name and, of course, not in the same handwriting.
Mr. Eisenberg. Now, did you compare the two signatures on Exhibit 795 with the standards in this case to determine whether the signatures have been written by the person who produced the standards?
Mr. Cole. I did compare the signatures on 795 with the standard writing.
Mr. Eisenberg. What was your conclusion, Mr. Cole?
Mr. Cole. With respect to the signature above "Member or clerk of local board," I have not formed any conclusion about authorship. With regard to the writing "Alek J. Hidell," it is my opinion that the author of the standard writing is the author of that name.
Mr. Eisenberg. And referring to the charts of the standards which you prepared, and referring to the photograph of 795, could you explain the reasons for this conclusion?
Mr. Cole. Would you want any copy of this?
