some knowledge about something that might be relevant to
some issues. So people who are subpoenaed does not have
any guilt complex associate. That's why I made it emphatic
at the first point, that my client, if he's served that
subpoena and given transportation there and expenses, will
voluntarily go. They don thave to do anything more, Isn't
that right?
A.
That's right.
B.
I think that should be in the record.
Q.
I think also at this point there is one thing I should maka
clear. As soon as I get back to the station, BOB, -- FRED
is familiar with this, you probably aren't, -- I will make a
complete, unedited dub of what I have here and I will furnish
it to you so that nobody. I will also have one myself --
and I'll try to ba eminently fair and not take anything out
of context. I'm not going to run this whole thing. Thare
are a couple of points in here we want to cut off.
B.
Sure. This is one of the reasons why he selected you when
because I thought that your broadcast had bean
the faïrest, on the line. At least you went to the trouble
to place the calls and find out what these people had to say
on the other end.
Q.
I don't know whether you heard my 5:30 broadcast last night.
B.
No, I didn't.
Q.
After my confrontation with FRED last night, I went back and
I said these are facts I have from UPI. These are things
that MR. CRISMAN said to me. I drew no conclusions. That's
not for me to do. All right, fine. You're ROBERT GRIFFIN.
You're a Tacoma attorney representing FRED LEE CRISMAN.
B.
Right.
l.
And you're FRED LEE CRISMAN and to the best of your knowledge
you'are the same FRED LEE CRISMAN that Mr. Garrison's talking
about.
A.
Right.
MEL GAUMER
Q.
And I'm the news director of KTAC.
B.
Ona point I'd like to put in the record, of your courtesy.
That you did not try to ask any twisted questions. You were
very fair to both myself and my client. I'd like that to go
onto the tape also, that you were very courteous and very
fair and very objective.
7 ?
Q.
Thank you very much.
A.
one thing, I've had some -- why did I use the name JOHN GOLD,
Q.
Yes, I'm glad you thought of that. This, of course, anybody
in my business doesn't worry about, but other people do.
