That he could not and should not be called upon to turn over to any Government agency? Miss Cooke. Absolutely. Mr. LaGuarpia. I am simply following that up and asking you what the general character of that information may be. Mr. CuristopHERSON. Mr. Chairman, I just want to make the pomt of order that it is not just proper for the Congressman to ask the lady to disclose that information; if it is information that has been given to her confidentially by her clients, I do not believe it is proper to bring it out. Mr. LaGuarpia. My colleague from South Dakota misunder- stands me. I am not asking this witness to tell this committee any information the A. B. Co. gave the X Agency; I would not ask that. 1 am asking generally the nature of this information which is so privileged, so confidential, that it would be dangerous to employ a State agency to receive. Mr. CuristopHeERrsoN. Can she answer that question without zoing into details as to the information that has been given her? Mr. LaGuarpia. I do not want any details concerning anything; [ want just to get the character of this information. For instance, if it is a case of counsel and client and he tells you he has entered into a contract which he believes may be in restraint of trade and gives you the details, we know that the general information is how far he can go in meeting competition. Now I am asking the same general in- formation, what it is. I do not know what it is; if any one does, I would like to have it. The Crammman. Well, do you think it is essential to our under- standing of the legislation that is before us? Mr. LaGuagspra. That is the opposition that is made to it. The Cuairman. Her idea is that you are wiping out an industry and people who are employed in that industry, which is a lawful tndustry, and there are many people so engaged in it. Now hew relevant that may be the committee can determine; but that is the only point I think she is making and that, in her relations, there are confidential communications. I can understand they might ask for the employment of a butler, or somebody in a private capacity, and get an answer that he is all right, a good man, if you can keep him away from drink, or some other influences. Now those communications are confidential. Mr. LaGuarpia. Is there any other information other than the personal individual habits and characteristics of the particular per- son being employed that is of a confidential nature? The CuairMAN. Yes; they may relate to the affiliation, to what Societies, or organizations they are in. I do not think these matters are relevant. Mr. LAGuarpia. Is that the answer, Miss Cooke; is the Chairman’s Rnswer your answer? Miss Cooke. Why, there is all the information whieh the employer “ares to give you. Mr. LaGuarpia. Which he will give you and which he will not give the Federal or State agency? Miss Cooke. You have my personal opinion on that. I am not Speaking for the National Employment Board on that and again I say, Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the committee. that no member of
