(b)    All testimony given at a hearing shall be under oath or
affirmation unless the requirement is dispensed with in a particular
instance by majority vote of the committee members present at the
hearing.

(c)    Any member of an investigating committee may administer
an oath or affirmation to a witness.

(d)    The presiding officer at a hearing may direct a witness to
answer any relevant question or furnish any relevant book, paper or
document. Unless the direction is overruled by majority vote of the
committee members present, disobedience shall constitute grounds
for citation for contempt, except that production of any book, paper
or document may be required only by subpoena.

(e)    A witness, or his counsel, with the consent of a majority
of the committee members present at the hearing may file with the
committee for incorporation into the record of the hearing sworn
written statements relevant to the purpose, subject matter and
scope of the committee's investigation or inquiry.

(f)    A witness upon his advance request and at his own expense,
shall be furnished a certified transcript of his testimony.

(g)    Testimony and other evidence given or adduced at a hearing
closed to the public shall not be made public unless authorized by
majority vote of all of the members of the committee, which authori-
zation shall also specify the form and manner in which testimony or
other evidence may be released. Nothing herein shall be construed
to prevent a witness or other person supplying evidence from dis-
closing such of his own testimony or other evidence concerning
which only he could claim a privilege against disclosure.

74.    Interested Persons.

(a)    Any person whose name is mentioned or who is otherwise
identified during a hearing and who, in the opinion of the com-
mittee, may be adversely affected thereby, may upon his request
or upon the request of any member of the committee, appear per-
sonally before the committee and testify in his own behalf, or with
the committee's consent, file a sworn statement of facts or other
documentary evidence for incorporation into the record of the
hearing.

(b)    Upon the consent of a majority of its members, an investi-
gating committee may permit any other person to appear and testify
at a hearing or submit a sworn written statement of facts or other
documentary evidence for incorporation into the record thereof. No
request to appear, appearance or submission of evidence shall limit
in any way the investigating committee's power of subpoena.

75.    Contempt.

(a) A person shall be in contempt if he:

1.    Fails or refuses to appear in compliance with a subpoena or,
having appeared, fails or refuses to testify under oath or affirmation.

2.    Fails or refuses to answer any relevant question or fails or
refuses to furnish any relevant book, paper or document subpoenaed
by or on behalf of an investigating committee.
