If you think that anything that I am doing or anything that I am asking you is endangering you in any way, shape, or form, I want you to feel absolutely free to say that the interview is over.
Mr. Ruby. What happens then? I didn't accomplish anything.
Chief Justice Warren. No; nothing has been accomplished.
Mr. Ruby. Well, then you won't follow up with anything further?
Chief Justice Warren. There wouldn't be anything to follow up if you hadn't completed your statement.
Mr. Ruby. You said you have the power to do what you want to do, is that correct?
Chief Justice Warren. Exactly.
Mr. Ruby. Without any limitations?
Chief Justice Warren. Within the purview of the Executive order which established the Commission. We have the right to take testimony of anyone we want in this whole situation, and we have the right, if we so choose to do it, to verify that statement in any way that we wish to do it.
Mr. Ruby. But you don't have a right to take a prisoner back with you when you want to?
