Mr. SMITH. He had on dark pants--just a minute. He had on dark pants
and a sport coat of some kind. I can't really remember very well.
Mr. BALL. I will show you a coat----
Mr. SMITH. This looks like it.
Mr. BALL. This is Commission's Exhibit 162, a grey, zippered jacket.
Have you ever seen this before?
Mr. SMITH. Yes, sir; that looks like what he had on. A jacket.
Mr. BALL. That is the jacket he had on?
Mr. SMITH. Yes.
Mr. BALL. Now, when the deposition is completed it will be written up
and you will have a right to look it over and sign it, or if you want
to you can waive your signature. They will accept your waiver and send
it on to the Commission without it. Do you have any choice on that?
Mr. SMITH. I will sign it. It don't make any difference to me.
Mr. BALL. Would you just as leave waive your signature?
Mr. SMITH. Ever what that means.
Mr. BALL. That means you don't have to sign it.
Mr. SMITH. I will sign it.
Mr. BALL. Do you want to sign it?
Mr. SMITH. Yes; I will sign it.
Mr. BALL. Okay. Do you have a telephone number?
Mr. SMITH. No, sir.
Mr. BALL. Well, the young lady will notify you when you can come in and
sign it.
I thank you very much.
