Mr. Liebeler. What I would like to do in order to try to determine who is telling the truth about this question is have you come in here tomorrow evening at about 7:30 or so when Mr. Ryder is going to be here again to testify before the Commission. After I discuss this with Mr. Ryder, by myself, for a while, I would like to bring you into the room and I would like to have you and Mr. Ryder see if you can't iron out this apparent inconsistency in the two stories.
Mr. Schmidt. It is perfectly fine with me.
Mr. Liebeler. Then you are willing to do that?
Mr. Schmidt. Yes.
Mr. Liebeler. At this point, we will suspend Mr. Schmidt's deposition until such time as we resume tomorrow in the presence of Mr. Ryder. And needless to say, of course, you will hold in complete confidence the request that I have made of you now until after we have our meeting with Mr. Ryder?
Mr. Schmidt. That will be fine with me.
Mr. Liebeler. I would be very unhappy if I found it in the newspaper before Ryder gets here.
Mr. Schmidt. Is it free knowledge after that, though?
Mr. Liebeler. That is something that is entirely up to you, I suppose. I don't know if the Commission would request you not to write a story about it. I would like to talk to Washington, and even if we request you not to write a story, that is all we can do.
Mr. Schmidt. Well, we have tried all the time to cooperate with people. If there is anything other than that you want me to do, if you have a polygraph test, I will be perfectly willing to submit to it.
