Mr. Ball. 16 years?

Mr. Molina. Yes, sir.

Mr. Ball. Now, you wrote the Commission a letter asking to testify, didn't you?

Mr. Molina. Yes.

Mr. Ball. How did you happen to do that?

Mr. Molina. Well, I called in. I didn't know whether I was going to be called or not and they told me, you know, that I should write a letter and ask the Commission, you know. (Letter marked Molina Exhibit A.)

Mr. Ball. You wanted to be heard, is that right, before the Commission?

Mr. Molina. Yes, sir.

Mr. Ball. Did you have something particularly you wanted to tell us?

Mr. Molina. Yes, sir.
