A.
No, BECKHAM did. - All I did/was write the courses for it.
e.
Were you involved as a corporate officer?
A.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Q.
Well, at this point, I wasn't -- these are al matters of
record.
A.
While BECKHAM was here he filed about six corporations, all
of them non-profit stuff. Some of them I wrote some of the
stuff for, some of them I didn't.
Q.
All right, let ma ask you this, FRED. As I understand it
the subpoena from the Grand Jury down there is for the 2lst
of November at 10:00 in the morning. Have you been served
with a subpoena yet?
A.
No, I've had no official word whatsoever.
Q.
Now, FRED, and this I don't use as part of the tape --
I'm asking you for information. In the State of Washington,
who would serve that? How would this ba handled? Do you
know? This is a county
.
Would this be served by the
local Sheriff
A.
The local Sheriff -- you can quote this -- if the locala
Sheriff serves it, the State of Louisiana itself does not
have subpoena power over a Washington resident. Now if
it .comes through a Federal court, if there's a Federal
question or had a -- there's only one way Louisiana could
get a witness down there -- that is their State -- would be
either to have extradition or to have Federal Court.
Q.
I understand this Grand Jury ix not a Federal Grand Jury.
A.
No.
(inaudible)
Q.
You have to hava extradition papers cleared on a thing of
this kind.
B.
I think that I would advise my client -- I have not
advised
him, I haven't even consulted but I think I would
advise him that if he's got nothing to hide, if he were
served a subpoena and they furnished him the necessary fees
to get down there, and his expenses to get down there and
back, he's got nothing to hide to go down and back free.
So there would be no inference of any type of guilt on behalf
of my client.
Q.
What about you, FRED?
A.
I would go down there under those conditions.
(inaudible)
Q.
As I say, these are things that should come on the record.
A.
I've got nothing to hide from anybody. I'd meet Garrison
if he wishes to question me about people that I know. Fine.
I'm willing to give in a complete list of everybody I know.
