Mr. ADAMS. I know it is like the intelligence business in the service, you take all the little pieces and piece them together, and you make a picture. Mr. JENNER. You have a right to read your deposition and to sign it, if you see fit, and you also have the right to waive that privilege if you wish. Mr. ADAMS. I would like to see it and I will sign it. Mr. JENNER. We will have it ready toward the end of this week or early next week, and if you will call the U.S. attorney, Barefoot Sanders, he will know whether it is ready for you to read and sign. Thank you very much, sir. Mr. ADAMS. Thank you. TESTIMONY OF DONALD E. BROOKS The testimony of Donald E.
