Introduction
Madeline Tress was brought into a room with no air conditioning for an interview. She's asked to swear an oath and she realizes this is much more serious than she anticipated. The two investigators who called her in worked for the U.S. Civil Service Commission. They began by saying, Ms. Tress, your voluntary appearance here today has been requested in order to afford you an opportunity to answer questions concerning information which has been received by the U.s. Civil Service commission. It wasn't done by Department of Commerce people. That's Madeline Tress' voice in an oral history interview made decades later.
