THE PRESIDENT: Will you come to the desk please, if you wish to speak. Will you state your name and for whom you appear here?
DR. THOMA: Dr. Thoma, defense counsel for the Defendant Rosenberg.
THE PRESIDENT: Yes.
DR. THOMA: I should like to ask whether the Defense will immediately get copies of the interrogation of witnesses.
THE PRESIDENT: Copies of the Indictment? Those have been served upon each defendant. Do I understand that you want further copies for the use of defendants’ counsel?
DR. THOMA: May I put my question more precisely? I presume that all the statements of the defendants are to be taken down in shorthand, and I would like to ask whether these will then be translated into German and given to the Defense Counsel as soon as possible.
THE PRESIDENT: If you mean a transcript of the evidence which is given before the Tribunal, that will be taken down, and if it is given in a language other than German it will be translated into German and copies furnished to defendants’ counsel. If it is in German it will be furnished to them in German.
DR. THOMA: Will we get copies of the interrogation of all witnesses?
THE PRESIDENT: Yes; that is what I meant by a transcript of the evidence given before the Tribunal. That will be a copy, in German, of the evidence of each witness.
DR. THOMA: Thank you.
