4 MR. CRANE:
I have no-independent recollection 5
of actually signing this letter.
6 I sign a number of letters of transmittal to 7
the commission as a part of my normal duties.
8 I note that the letter is dated November 18th, 9
and I know that on that date I was travelling back to 10 Washington, D.C.
to attend a congressional hearing and 11 an oral argument so I can only asstme that I or presume 12 that I did sign the letter, but I have, as I said, no 13 independent recollection, k,,,
1-4 MR. FAULKENBERRY:
Mr. Crane, if you were not 15 here on the-18th, and could not have signed it on the 18th, 16 if you had signed it, would you give us an indication of I
17 the only available dates that you were here and which-18 dates you possibly could have signed it?
j 19 MR. CRANE:
Well, I was here on-November 17th ii 20 and I could-have signed the letter then and I was not in s
[
21 the office until the 23rd but if I was presented with the l'
22 letter on the 23rd for signature, I would have normally 23 assuming I noticed it, I would-have had them change the 24 date.
d 25 So from that, I assume I must have signed it on
