906 MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES
Mr. Casey. Well, they are minutes, supposed to be minutes, they are memorandums of the meetings that were held on certain dates; one of August 16, 1946, August 22, 1946, September 3, 1946, September 23, 1946, September 24, 1946.
Mr. McCann. Now, for the record I want it understood, Mr. Chairman, that I examined this volume yesterday and that some of the questions addressed to Mr, Brewer today were based upon these volumes, because the record shows that those questions were asked specifically with respect to some of those dates.
Now, Mr. Casey, I want you to examine that volume and tell me what that is.
Mr. Casey. This is the minutes of a meeting of September 11, 1946, September 12, 1946, September 16, 1946, September 17, 1946, September 20, 1946.
Mr. McCann. Now, Mr. Chairman, I want to ask when they are still here — they have both been sworn — I would like to ask a question of Mr. Benjamin, whether there were any records taken on the 18th or on the 19th of the meetings there.
Mr. Benjamin. Mr, McCann, I would be unable to say whether there was any meeting on the 18th or the 19th. I presume if the notes there do not include those dates there presumably were not meetings, I don't know,
Mr. Price. May I answer that ?
Mr. McCann. Yes, sir.
Mr. Price. My understanding is that there were no meetings on those dates which bore on this subject. Whether there were negotiation meetings on tliose dates, I don't know. I am having all those — I have given instructions to write up all the notes of all the meetings from August 16 to September 30, and I will know in the course of the day.
Mr. McCann. Mr. Casey, by whom were those notes of those meetings or memoranda of those meetings prepared ?
Mr, Casey. Mr. Victor Clarke.
Mr. McCann. And Mr. Victor Clarke, I believe, is the one who is getting together the records which you have requested?
Mr, Price, Yes, sir,
Mr, McCann, I will ask, Mr, Chairman, to read those into the record at this time, and we will have Mr, Clarke down as soon as he can come with the rest of the records, and we will examine him later about those records,
Mr, Kearns, Does Mr, Casey have to stay on the stand during this time ?
Mr. McCann, Well, it is not necessary for him to stay there.
]Mr. Price. May I make a suggestion ?
Mr. Kearns. Yes.
Mr. Price, I would like to have the record show that these are not — and I am testifying to some extent on this — these are not official minutes of the meetings. They are not read back to the assembly as minutes usually are for approval. They are merely Mr, Clarke's personal notes of what he saw took place at the meeting.
Mr. Kearns, Mr, Clarke was at the meeting, though?
Mr, Price, Mr, Clarke was at the meeting, they are his notes of what occurred at the meeting. They are personal memoranda, in the sense
