Mr. Alexander. Just one more thing.
I myself will make no statement to anybody outside this room about anything, and let me make the suggestion that whatever statement is made, is made by Mr. Specter, if you want to agree on that.
Mr. Tonahill. In fact I think that if Mr. Specter is going to give this statement, that if he tells them that a polygraph has been taken, I don’t think any of the questions and answers should be given out.
Mr. Fowler. No; I very definitely and specifically request that these matters that have been gone into here today be for the Commission and the Commission only. It is our wish.
Mr. Specter. That will be done. The Commission heretofore has made no public statement of content to any extent. It has been the practice of the Commission to announce only what witnesses have been heard, and a very general statement of the witness’ status. In fact, Mr. Ruby was insistent that there be a statement made in terms of his request and his cooperation, and that had been discussed before as being the appropriate limit of such a statement. It’s my view that that should be followed up on, but no details of any sort stated as to his responses or anything else that transpired in this proceeding today.
Mr. Tonahill. Yes; that he cooperated to the best of his ability.
Dr. Beavers. Any questions that are asked me, I will refer to Mr. Arlen Specter.
Mr. Specter. Very fine, Dr. Beavers.
Thank you very much. This will conclude these proceedings.
Proceedings concluded at 10 p.m.
