Mr. Jenner. Is that right?
Mrs. Boudreaux. Yes; I raised my five children with it, and I intend to give it to them even though this happened. Like I say, it wasn't concerning them at all.
Mr. Jenner. Now, these depositions will be written up by the court reporter, and you have the privilege, if you wish, of reading your deposition and signing it, but you can waive that if you want so as to avoid the inconvenience of coming down here again, but if you wish to read it and sign it, that's your privilege. If you decide to waive the reading and signing of the deposition, the court reporter will transcribe it, and it will be sent by the U.S. attorney to Washington to be read by the members of the Commission conducting this investigation.
Mrs. Boudreaux. I don't need to sign it. All I was saying was the truth, and that's all I can do.
Mr. Jenner. Then I take it you would just as soon waive the necessity of reading and signing the deposition?
Mrs. Boudreaux. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. Very well; thank you very much for appearing here voluntarily and giving us your statement.
