Under which it has specifically determined that House rule XI. paragraph 26(m). is specifically applicable. and for the benefit of your client. I think that rule should be read to her. and it provides as follows: "If the committee determines that evidence or testimony at an investigative hearing may tend to defame. degrade. or incriminate any person it shall receive such evidence or testimony in executive session." I want to state specifically to Mrs. Wilson that in accordance with the opening statement of the chairman. where the subjects of inquiry and legislative purposes were explained to you. you must understand that the committee is seeking to ascertain the facts relating to the strategy. tactics. and activities of members of the Communist Party and Communist organizations in aiding the entry into the United States of aliens inadmissible under the provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The interrogation which I propose to make in your case. the committee has determined. will evoke evidence or testimony which will involve the activities of persons in organizations designated or known as Communist or subversive. and that will adversely reflect upon such persons. and in a manner within the provisions of House rule XI. 26(m). which I just quoted to you. The committee has therefore made a specific determination that by reason of the provisions of this rule. and for other reasons which they have explained to you. this hearing and your testimony shall be received In executive session.
