Mr. Weissman. Or any of my associates, sir.
Representative Boggs. Or any of your associates. I asked you if in your study of events in Germany, having been stationed there, that you didn't soon associate, or that you didn't see some association in your mind of the alleged so-called extreme right with naziism.
Mr. Weissman. No. In fact, I never thought—I thought of the extremists as superpatriots. I had never really defined the term fascist or Nazi in my own mind——
Representative Boggs. Of course, you realize that members of your religion in Germany were described as traitors, treasonable, and Communists. And I presume that on the other side of the coin those making the accusation classified themselves as superpatriots.
Mr. Weissman. This is quite true. But you are getting into a field right now that at the time——
Representative Boggs. Were you surprised when you discovered this anti-Jewish feeling? You must have been somewhat, shall I say, disappointed when one of your associates asked you to change your name. I would think that was right insulting.
Mr. Weissman. It was downright insulting, as a matter of fact. No, I wasn't surprised. Now——
Mr. Dulles. Did you have something on this in your letter? I noticed you looking through that letter a minute ago. I thought maybe you had something on this very point in your letter.
Mr. Weissman. Yes. I received a letter from Larrie, while I was in Germany.
Mr. Jenner. Is this another document to which no reference has been made?
