		23 Nov. 45 thing I could say. Also all of these 10 documents were listed in the list of documents which we furnished counsel for the defendants, I believe, the 1st of November. THE PRESIDENT: You say that they were... MR. ALDERMAN: In the list. But of course I recognize that a list of documents is very different from the documents themselves. THE PRESIDENT: Are the documents very long? MR. ALDERMAN: Some of them are very long and some of them are very short; you can't generalize. Whenever it is a speech of Adolf Hitler you can count it is fairly long. THE PRESIDENT: Can you not by Monday have in the hands of every member of the Defense Counsel copies of these 10 documents? It is suggested to me that photostating could be done quite easily. MR. AI,DERMAN: I understand that both our photostatic facilities and our mimeographing facilities are right up to the hilt with work. It is a very difficult mechanical problem. COL. STOREY: If the Tribunal please: In further explanation, the documents which Mr. Alderman intends to offer were on the defendants' list filed in the Document Center on the 1st day of November 1945. Lieutenant Barrett had 23 copies of each one photostated as far as he could on that list. Six copies went into the defendants' Information Center. Now, we can't say at this: time whether six copies--that is photostatic copies of each one--have been furnished to the defendants, but whenever they wanted copies of any particular one, either the original was exhibited to them or photostatic copies were made. Again, Sir, I call attention to the physical problems that are almost insurmountable: to make 23 photostatic copies which are required of every document. Now then, Sir . . . THE PRESIDENT: If I may interrupt you, I imagine that the list which was deposited on the 1st of November didn't contain only these 10 documents but contained a great number of other documents. COL. STOREY: That is correct, Sir. THE PRESIDENT: So that the defendants' counsel wouldn't know which out of that list of documents were going to be relied upon. COL. STOREY: Except, Sir, they were notified that the Prosecution would use all, or some of those documents if necessary, 251
