2070 COMMUNISM IN HOLLYWOOD MOTION-PICTURE INDUSTRY attend a number of meetings, including one in your own home, and be unable, out of that association, to remember more than the four or five individuals whom you have named. Mr. Fleury. Well, sir, those are the names that I can recall, and I can do no more about that. After all, this was how long ago ? Nine years ago ? Mr. Jackson. That is a matter within your own mind, obviously, over which we have no control. If you sincerely cannot remember more, of course, that is that. Mr. Wheeler. I want to make the remark that if Mr. Fleury and Mrs. Fleury discuss this more fully in the next couple of days, and if Mr. Fleury wants to contact me or reappear before us after he has additional time to think it over, perhaps he could testify, rather than his wife, if he desires to do that. It is not our policy to call both the husband and the wife before the committee. Mr. Jackson. Of course, the final decision must rest in the hands of the chairman of the committee. Mr. Wheeler. That's right. Mr. Jackson. This is purely a preliminary investigation. I would suggest, pending a discussion with the other members of the com- mittee upon their arrival, that the subpena be held open until such time as the matter can be discussed at greater length with the other members of the subcommittee. If you will, Mr. Fleury, keep in touch with Mr. Wheeler in the event that you change your address, or in order that he may be able to contact you. Mr. Wheeler. We will let both subpenas remain open until a deci- sion is made. Mr. Jackson. It is so ordered; the subpenas will remain open. If in the interim, and after fuller discussion of the matter, there is any further information which you feel you can give the committee, you can communicate with Mr. Wheeler at the Roosevelt Hotel. Mr. Fleury. I would like very much, instead of asking me to volunteer information, to at least have specific questions that I get a chance to answer, because actually this is so remote and so forgot- ten that I simply do not remember, sir. Mr. Jackson. Mr. Fleury, the matter of the identification of people who were associated with you in this activity at that time is a matter that is within your knowledge and not necessarily within the knowl- edge of the committee. I say that much of the information which has already been given is information which is already in the posses- sion of the committee. We are looking for additional information and, quite frankly, information which may not be in the possession of the committee. Mr. Fleury. Naturally, sir. Mr. Jackson. So far as the identifications are concerned, that is a matter which is entirely within your own discretion. I would hope that upon further consideration—and I realize how repugnant it is to the average person to disclose names, dates, and places; but that is the sum and substance of the things we must have if we are to carry this investigation through to a successful conclusion—again I would hope that after further discussion both of you can refresh your memories to the extent that you can contact Mr. Wheeler and give us some additional information with respect to those who were active
