The Crammax. Does that table show the names of the different 
cooperatives to which this money was advanced ? 
Mr. CurisTeNSEN, No, sir; this is classified by commodities. The 
names of the associations do not appear. 
The CrairyMaN. Do you want to tell us that for the record? 
Mr. Lece. I would like to respectfully submit that, while we have 
no wish to withhold any information from you, or a penny, or 
anything else, I think that the details of the loans to these coopera- 
tive associations, or of the loans now outstanding to them, in justice 
to them, should not be put in a public document. All of that 
information is here for your own use, of course. The cooperatives 
have earnestly appealed to us not to make public the details of their 
individual loans. As I have said, I have that information here 
for your own use, but when you put it in a Congressional record, 
of course, other people get possession of it. and they may use it to 
the detriment of the cooperatives. 
The Crmatraan. Of course, we do not want anything in the record 
that would be detrimental to the success of this operation.
