Do you solemnly swear that the testimony you give before the President's Commission in this deposition proceeding will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Dr. Bashour. I do.
Mr. Specter. Would you state your full name for the record, please?
Dr. Bashour. F-o-u-a-d (spelling), Fouad A. Bashour.
Mr. Specter. What is your profession, sir?
Mr. Bashour. I am an internist with a specialization in cardiology. I am associate professor of medicine.
Mr. Specter. Are you duly licensed by the State of Texas to practice medicine here?
Dr. Bashour. Yes.
Mr. Specter. And are you board certified at the present time?
Dr. Bashour. No, sir; I don't have my board because I am not yet a citizen. I will be taking my citizenship this year, I hope, and then I will be able to sit for the board.
