Mr. STERN. I think that is enough, Mr. Belmont, on that. Mr. McCLOY. You didn't have anything further to add to that, did you? Mr. BELMONT. No. The CHAIRMAN. I think as to those things if it is agreeable to the other members of the Commission, we will not pursue any questioning that will call for an answer that would divulge those matters that you have just spoken of. Mr. BELMONT. I would like to make it clear, Mr. Chairman, that--I think that is very kind of you--I would like to make it clear that Mr. Hoover has expressed a desire to be of the utmost help to the Commission, and to make any information available that will be helpful to the Commission. I think your observation is very much worthwhile. Mr. STERN. Mr. Belmont, have you reviewed the actual file and this letter of May 4 which summarizes each document in the file? Mr. BELMONT. Yes, sir. Mr. STERN. And to your knowledge, is this an accurate summary of each piece of information in the file? Mr. BELMONT. Yes, sir. Mr. STERN. The file is available to the Commission? Mr. BELMONT. Yes, sir. Mr. STERN. If they want to look at any item in it? Mr. BELMONT. Yes, sir. The CHAIRMAN. The file does not include that security matter that you mentioned, or does it? Mr. BELMONT. This file is as it is maintained at the Bureau with all information in it. The CHAIRMAN. With all information in it? Mr. BELMONT. Yes, sir; this is the actual file. The CHAIRMAN. I see. Mr. RANKIN. Mr. Belmont, are you willing to leave the file a reasonable time in case any of the Commissioners desire to examine it personally? Mr. BELMONT. Yes, sir. Mr. RANKIN. We will return it. The CHAIRMAN. I wonder if we do want it on those conditions. If we want to get anything from it don't you think, Mr. Rankin, that we ought to make it known here while the witness is here. I personally don't care to have this information that involves our security unless it is necessary, and I don't want to have documents in my possession where it could be assumed that I had gotten that information and used it, so I would rather, I would rather myself confine our questions to this file to the testimony of Mr. Belmont. Then if we want it, if we want any of those things, it then becomes a matter to discuss here in the open, and not just in privacy. Mr. RANKIN. Mr. Chairman, I felt it made a better record if the file is available only to the Commissioners in case they do want to examine it, and then it will be taken back and the staff will not examine it. The CHAIRMAN. I think he has stated that the file will be made available to us whenever we want it. Mr. RANKIN. Yes. The CHAIRMAN. If we do want it to read it that is one thing. For myself, I think we can get what we want from examining the witness, and then if there is any portion of it that comes into play why we can determine the question here, but I really would prefer not to have a secret file, I mean a file that contains matters of that kind in our possession.
