-2- 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. 23
