Mr. Jenner. What was the rank of the company clerk?
Mr. Weissman. At that time—I think he was the only corporal company clerk in the army. And he introduced me to Larrie several weeks later after we had returned from the field.
They tried to pull a big snow job, saying public relations and so on and so forth, just to sort of impress me, and they did. They worked very well together; and, in any case, I became involved in it.
I don't recollect the step-by-step involvement—just that I jumped in with both feet, because I liked the idea.
Mr. Jenner. This was Conservatism USA, and it consisted of an idea at this particular time?
Mr. Weissman. Right.
Mr. Jenner. And associated with that idea were these people, Larrie Schmidt, yourself, was Burley——
Mr. Weissman. At that time, I don't think so.
Mr. Jenner. But he did become?
Mr. Weissman. Later.
