332 MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES
to quarrel with any of you. I have no disposition to be nasty with anyone. I do resent anything reflecting on the Congress or myself. There have been about ";>00 people here who watched this hearing for about 2 or 3 weeks. We are not going around the corner saying anything in private and planning or plotting against anyone. We are dealing with everybody in the controversy. We are taking testimony from everyone that has anything to offer. We don't know of a person we have passed up.
You can say to the letter carriers I hope that they will be at the door on Christmas morning. You can say to them I like the letter carriers. And furtliermore, the last people I represented in civil life was a group of postal employees, and I was very fond of all of them.
That is all I have to say, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. DoHERTY. In behalf of the letter carriers of the United States and my own behalf, I accept Mr. McCann's apology.
Mr. Kearns. Thank you, Mr. Doherty.
Mr. Knight has a statement to make.
Mr. Knight. Not unless we are through. If we are going on the witness stand tomorrow ; no, sir.
Mr. Kearxs. You are excused. You are excused, but not dismissed.
Mr. McCann.' Mr. Murphy.
Mr. Kearns. Do you solemnly swear the testimony which you are •about to give to be tlie truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God ?
Mr. Murphy. I do.
