Have you been sworn?
TESTIMONY OF WAGGONER CARR
Do you solemnly swear the testimony you are about to give before the Commission shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Mr. Carr. I do.
The Chairman. Be seated, please.
Proceed, Mr. Rankin.
Mr. Rankin. Mr. Carr, will you state your name and position for the record?
Mr. Carr. I am Waggoner Carr, attorney general of the State of Texas.
Mr. Rankin. And you are a practicing lawyer, are you?
Mr. Carr. Yes, sir; before I was elected, I was practicing law in Lubbock, Tex. Now, of course, being attorney general, this has taken me out of the private practice. Prior to that I graduated from law school at the University of Texas, had my pre-law with a BBA degree from Texas Tech. I have been an assistant district attorney for the 72nd judicial district in Texas; county attorney of Lubbock County for 2 years; served in the Texas House of Representatives for 10 years, the last 4 of those years being as Speaker of the House, and was elected attorney general in 1960.
