boards, at least, it gives much more protection than your

question indicated now.

MRS. FREEDLANDER: Well, the committees of
|
|
4
|
the legislature or the Congress investigatory committees -
|
|

|
MR. SYKES: The Supreme Court has decided a
|
|
6
|
number of cases on how far the legislative committees can
|
|
7
|
go. There is the privilege against self-incrimination
|
|
8

there. I would ask, with regard to that kind of ques-

|
would do beyond embroiling the Constitution in a conflict,
|
|
11

|
|
15
|
committee.
|
|

|
He then goes into court and the court says,
|
|
17
|

|
|
18
|
you want an action for damages? Do you want me to enjoin
|
|
19
|
the chairman of the committee? . Does that section of the
|
|
20
|
Constitution say I can do any of that? And I am pretty
|
|
21
|
sure it does not, and the result is you bring up this
