Mr. Donovan. And in my opinion he was a failure in that respect.
Mr. Ely. You have mentioned that he read a Russian newspaper. Do you remember any other possessions or habits or affectations which would suggest an interest in the Soviet Union?
Mr. Donovan. No, I do not.
However, I do recall that in college we had some monumentally boring textbooks to read concerning GATT, et cetera—at least at the time they were monumentally boring. And on occasion he would bring up one of these books—I don't recall which one—but say, "Are you familiar with this?" And it was my good fortune to have studied it. And he would ask about something. And in some respects he would ask you about a term he did not know. But he never would ask you about a concept, except in an effort to get you to discuss it or argue it. But he would ask you what some word meant in economics. He was interested in international economics.
Mr. Ely. Could you state for the record what GATT stands for?
Mr. Donovan. General Agreement on Trade and Tariff.
Mr. Ely. Do you recall his having any nicknames?
Mr. Donovan. Yes.
Mr. Ely. What were they?
Mr. Donovan. Ozzie.
