:45:24
The Committee will come to order.
:45:29
Well have order in the chamber!
:45:36
Let me begin by saying
we have a full agenda.
:45:40
I admonish those here to view
testimony today to keep order...
:45:46
...or this chamber will be cleared.
:45:51
The witness will please stand
and raise his right hand.
:46:00
Do you swear the testimony
youre about to give...
:46:04
...will be the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth?
:46:09
-I do.
-Be seated.
:46:13
State your full name and residence.
:46:16
Peter Appleton, Hollywood, California.
:46:19
Im informed you have a prepared
statement youd like to read.
:46:24
-Yes, sir.
-Mr. Chairman...
:46:26
...before he reads his statement,
Id like to ask a few questions.
:46:31
Just to clear the air.
:46:34
Americans deserve to know the extent
of the Communist conspiracy...
:46:39
...that threatens our way of life.
:46:42
We were told the witness would
be allowed to read a statement.
:46:46
So he will, but hell answer
a few questions first.
:46:50
Mr. Appleton, you mentioned
your home is Hollywood.
:46:54
But for the last several months you
made your home in the town of Lawson?
