Mr. Ofstein.

gave his own political views. I mean, he never told me anything derogatory about the United States or about the Soviet Union--just that he had resided there.

Mr. Jenner.

All right, if you wish, you may read your deposition and make any corrections in it and sign it, or you are of liberty to waive that if you wish. You can do whatever you want either way, but you have the right to read it and correct .it if it needs correcting or additions and to sign it. I would like to know either way so that in case you decide to waive it, the reporter has a kind of a certification different from the kind hat is put on when you el t to sign it.

Mr. Ofstein.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

And you are entitled to a copy of the deposition if you wish to purchase one from this young lady, and you can make arrangements with her in that respect.

Mr. Ofstein.

Fine. I will waive the right to sign.

Mr. Jenner.

And if at anytime you want a copy of your deposition, call Miss Oliver and if you happen to forget her name, talk to the U.S. attorney and he will give you her name.

Mr. Ofstein.

Fine.

Mr. Jenner.

Thank you very much for coming.

Mr. Ofstein.

All right. Thank you .
