Mr. Lane. I beg your pardon?
Representative Ford. Did you know about the tape recording being made?
Mr. Lane. I decline to answer that question.
Am I a defendant before this Commission, or is the Commission trying to find out who assassinated the President?
Representative Ford. We are trying to find out information about a witness before this Commission——
Mr. Lane. Well, then, call the witness before the Commission and ask the witness questions. And if the Commission—if the witness has testified contrary to what I say the witness has said, then I would suggest you do what I invited the Commission to do when this matter arose. Submit my testimony and Mrs. Markham's testimony to the U.S. attorney's office, and bring an action against both of us for perjury. And then at that trial I will present documents in my possession, and we will see who is convicted.
Representative Ford. Do you believe Mrs. Markham is an important witness in this overall matter?
Mr. Lane. I would think so.
Representative Ford. I am sure you know what she has told you.
Mr. Lane. I know what she has told me, that is correct.
