Mr. Hubert. You know you talked to Fisher about it?
Mr. Vaughn. Well, I was going to see Chief Fisher, as a matter of fact I got the lieutenant to talk to Chief Fisher and he told Chief Fisher that I did want to see him, and at that time Chief Fisher was involved in some other kind of business he had—I don't know exactly what it was, but he was busy. Then Lieutenant Pierce told me that I shouldn't go see Fisher at this time. He said, "If you will wait, I will talk to Fisher."
Mr. Hubert. By the way, this efficiency cut, is that on the basis of a year or a month or what?
Mr. Vaughn. Six months.
Mr. Hubert. And this was made about January 1, I guess?
Mr. Vaughn. Yes, sir; I think the efficiency ends in the month of January.
Mr. Hubert. Did Rio Pierce ever report back to you as to whether he had spoken to Fisher or not?
Mr. Vaughn. Yes, I talked to Lieutenant Pierce, I believe it was a couple of weeks ago, and he said it was the first opportunity he had had a chance to talk to Chief Fisher, and my understanding I got from him was that Chief Fisher said it was for letting Tom Chabot in the basement.
Mr. Hubert. In other words, you got the impression from Pierce, that the efficiency cut was not related to the Ruby incident, but rather to the Chabot incident?
Mr. Vaughn. Yes; to Chabot.
