Mr. Herndon. I’m going to ask you this question, Mr. Ruby: “Are you now a member of any group that advocates the violent overthrow of the United States Government?”
Mr. Ruby. No.
Mr. Herndon. Do you understand that question?
Mr. Ruby. Yes, sir.
Mr. Herndon. I’m going to ask: “Have you ever been a member of any group that advocates the violent overthrow of the United States Government?”
Mr. Ruby. No.
Mr. Herndon. It’s very similar, only it’s in the past tense.
Mr. Specter. Mr. Ruby, on those two questions—we can’t go through all of those groups which advocate the overthrow of the United States Government, so we are generalizing with respect to them.
Mr. Ruby. Yes.
Mr. Specter. You have indicated you understand them?
