Let the committee be in order. For the purposes of the hearing this afternoon, acting under the authority and resolution establishing this committee, I as chairman set up the subcommittee composed of the following members: Messrs.

Mr. Pomerance, will you hold up your right hand and be sworn ? Do you solemnly swear that the evidence you will give this sub- committee will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God ? Mr. Pomerance. I do. Mr. Wood. Have a seat, please. TESTIMONY OF M. WILLIAM POMERANCE, ACCOMPANIED BY HIS COUNSEL, DAVID REIN Mr. Tavenner. Mr. Chairman, my purpose in calling the witness was merely to have him respond to the subpena and to have the com- mittee set a date for his appearance, as it is quite evident with the work we have planned here for today and tomorrow that we are not likely to reach him. However, I will ask him one or two questions. Mr. Pomerance, you were served with a subpena to appear here today, the 24th day of January ? 2307
