I just want to say that I have been handed by Mr. Wilcox a suggested schedule for MSA hearings commencing May 5. Apparently there will be a joint session with the House on May 5. After that the two committees will have separate sessions. Will you please bear that in mind, May 5, 6, and 7, and I hope by that time to wind it up. Secretary DULLES. This has been an executive session. I would prefer not to have anything said about my answers to the hypothetical questions. The CHAIRMAN. Thank you very much, Mr. Secretary.
