Mr. KEITH. Mr. Chairman, in an effort to save time, I would respectfully ask you to consider obtaining from Dr. Haworth a copy of his prepared statement so that we might generally review it at the time of his appearance here, and the members of the committee will have had an opportunity to have read it prior to his appearance.

Mr. LENNON. We will make that request, but in the meantime, Mr. Keith, I will say to you that there is in the possession of the council and the consultant to the subcommittee a statement made by Dr. Haworth on November 1 before the subcommittee on Independent Offices of the Senate Appropriations Committee. It is the only one available, and it is a lengthy thing. I would hate to send it to anybody's office because it is the only one we have for our file and Dr. Haworth told me he was going to follow in substance this statement made before the Senate Subcommittee on Appropriations.

I wonder if you gentlemen would like to read it. If so, come by and it will be here.

I understand we have two copies. I don't want it to get into the hands of one subcommittee member exclusively.

Mr. TUPPER. Mr. Chairman, I would gladly volunteer to have several copies run off.

Mr. LENNON. Your offer is accepted, and you may mail those out today to the members of the subcommittee and return the original to the committee.

Mr. MOSHER. Would Dr. Haworth perhaps have additional mimeographed copies?

Mr. LENNON. Mr. Council, will you call him today and see if he can send out copies to the subcommittee of the doctor's statement before the Senate subcommittee? If that cannot be obtained, then call Congressman Tupper and furnish him with a copy so he can have it copied and sent tothe members of the subcommittee.

Mr. KEITH. Does this mean we can get the substance of the statement for questioning the doctor earlier than the 2 hours originally scheduled?

Mr. LENNON. I don't believe I follow you.

Mr. KEITH. We would not necessarily have to have him give his statement, it having been made available to the committee beforehand, we could then immediately begin to discuss it with him.

Mr. LENNON. If I thought the members of the subcommittee read his statement before the hearing started, I would ask him to waive his statement and be subject to examination. I will make that inquiry, if the majority of us have read the statement by that time.

The commitee will stand adjourned until Tuesday morning.

(Whereupon, at 11 a.m., the committee was adjourned to reconvene at 10 a.m., Tuesday, November 12, 1963.)
