COMMUNISM IN MOTION-PICTURE INDUSTRY 471 Mr. Tavenner. I have been authorized by the chairman to announce that because of pressing business on the floor of the House the hearing will be adjourned until 2 o'clock this afternoon. (Thereupon, at 11: 40 a. m., a recess was taken until 2 p. m. of the same day.) AFTERNOON SESSION Mr. Wood. The committee will be in order. Let the record show that there are present the following members of the committee: Mr. Walter, Mr. Doyle, Mr. Kearney, Mr. Jackson, Mr. Potter, and Mr. Wood, a quorum of the committee. Mr. Popr-ER. This morning, as a result of a roll call, there was no announcement by the chairman formally excusing Mr. Gough. Mr. Wood. Do we have any reason to detain him further, Mr. Counsel ? Mr. Tavenner. No, sir. Mr. Wood. He may be excused. Mr. Popper. May I place in the record a statement ? Mr. Wood. It will be received and filed with the committee. (The statement referred to is on file with the committee.) Mr. Tavenner. I would like to call Mr. Thad Page. Mr. Wood. Mr. Page, will you hold up your right hand, please. Do you solemnly swear the evidence you give this committee shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God? Mr. Page. I do. Mr. Wood. Have a seat. TESTIMONY OF THAD PAGE Mr. Tavenner. Mr. Page, your name is Mr. Thad Page ? Mr. Page. That is right. Mr. Tavenner. I believe you are a representative from the National Archives staff? Mr. Page. That is right. Mr. Tavenner. A subpena duces tecum has been issued for the production of a document in the custody of your department. You are now responding to that subpena, are you? Mr. Page. That is right, Mr. Tavenner. Mr. Tavenner. Do you have the document with you ? Mr. Page. I do, sir. Mr. Tavenner. Will you let me see it? Mr. Page (producing folder). It is the white document in that folder. Mr. Tavenner. Mr. Chairman, this is Form 57 purportedly signed by Mr. Leonardo Bercovici. I do not want to introduce this in evi- dence, but the witness will have to take it back unless we have a photo- static copy made at once. I think, if we just let him present it, that will be satisfactory for our purposes, and I can return it to him in a few minutes. I was not going to introduce it as an exhibit. Mr. Wood. Do you want to have it photostated ? Mr. Tavenner. If the chairman thinks we should, we will have it photostated, but we will have to get it back at once. Mr. Page. Mr. Tavenner, we could, within an hour or so, provide you with a photostatic copy.
