Mr. Fowler. Well, of course, I still have the same objection, and respectfully request again, Jack, that we’re not trying to hide anything—don’t misunderstand me.
Mr. Ruby. Just a minute—let me tell you something. I want to straighten up some things. Whether he leaves the room or not, Mr. Alexander is going to know everything that went on here, so please concede to it.
Mr. Fowler. Well, I’ll concede to this, that at sometime he will know, but I’m saying this—that perhaps there might be something, Jack, that might in some way be to your detriment if Mr. Alexander knew the answer to the question at this time. Now, he may say “No,” but I still, as your attorney and in trying to protect your rights, insist that it be handled in this way, and I would certainly appreciate your cooperation with me to that extent.
Mr. Ruby. The only reason I want Mr. Alexander here, I want him to know my effectiveness when I answer the questions.
Mr. Fowler. Jack, that’s very well, and I don’t think he has any doubt that you’re trying to hide it and all of that.
Mr. Specter. Then, let us proceed as we have before, with Mr. Herndon announcing the questions in advance but going through a minimum amount of preliminaries so that he is satisfied that he can evaluate the results.
Mr. Ruby. Yes.
Mr. Specter. And we will proceed on that basis.
Mr. Ruby. You can run through them a lot faster and I’ll grasp them.
Mr. Herndon. All right; I will proceed in that manner and also with the questions we have already set forth.
