Mr. Hubert.

I don't think they had the right address. That means .of course that you have not had written notice of the taking of this deposition and under the rules adopted by the Commission, every witness is entitled to a 3-day written notice before his deposition can be taken, but those rules also provide that that 3-day written notice can be waived if a witness wishes to waive it, and I ask you now, since you have not received the letter, whether you are willing to waive the notice and go ahead and testify now without the notice?

Mr. Carlin.

Yes; I am.

Mr. Hubert.

All right, will you rise then so I may administer the oath.
