CHAIRMAN'S VOICE: Would you mind speaking up, please. MICHAEL: New York City. CHAIRMAN: (OFF) Are you the son of Vito Corleone? MICHAEL: Yes I am. CHAIRMAN: And where was he born? MICHAEL: (OFF) Corleone, Sicily. CHAIRMAN: Did he at times use an alias that was known in certain circles as - Godfather? MICHAEL: Godfather is a term that was used by his friends, one of affection, one of respect. GEARY: (OFF) Uh, Mr. Chairman - (ON) I would like to verify the witness' statement. For years now a growing number of my constituents have been of Italian descent - and I've come to know them well. (OFF) They have honored me with their support and with their friendship. Indeed (ON) I can proudly say that some of my - very best friends are Italian-Americans. However, Mr. Chairman, THE GODFATHER, PART II Page 80 at this time I mean unfortunately I have to leave these proceedings, in order to preside over a very important meeting of my own committee. But before I leave, I do want to say this - that these hearings on the Mafia - are in no way whatsoever - a slur upon the great Italian people. (OFF) Because I can state from my own knowledge and experience that Italian-Americans are among the most loyal, most law-abiding, patriotic, hard- working American citizens in this land. And it would be a shame, Mr. Chairman, if we allowed a few rotten apples (OFF) to give a bad name to the whole barrel. Because from the time of the great Christopher Columbus (ON) up through the time of Enrico Fermi, right up until the present day - Italian- Americans have been pioneers in building and defending our great nation. (OFF) They are the salt of the earth, and they're one of the backbones of this country. (APPLAUSE) (APPLAUSE) (GAVEL) CHAIRMAN: (OFF) Come on, come on, the Chair is calling the meeting back to order. I'm sure we all (ON) agree with our esteemed colleague. Now, Mr. Corleone, you have been advised as to your legal rights. (ON) We have testimony from a witness, a previous witness - one Willi Cicci. He has stated THE GODFATHER, PART II Page 81 that you are head of the most powerful Mafia family in this country. (OFF) Are you? MICHAEL: (OFF) No I'm not. CHAIRMAN: (OFF) The witness has testified that you are personally responsible for the (OFF) murder of a New York City police captain in 1947, and with him a man named Virgil Sollozzo. Do you deny this? MICHAEL: Yes I do. CHAIRMAN: Is it true that in that in the year 1950, you devised the murder of the heads of the so-called Five Families in New York, to assume and consolidate (OFF) your nefarious - power? MICHAEL: It's a complete falsehood. CHAIRMAN: (OFF) Mr. Questadt. QUESTADT: (OFF) Is it true (ON) that you have a controlling interest in uh three of the major hotels in Las Vegas? MICHAEL: No it is not true. I own - some stock in some of the hotels there but very little. MICHAEL: I also have stock in - IBM and IT and T. QUESTADT: (OFF) Mr. Corleone, (ON) do you have any interests or control over gambling and narcotics - in the State of New York? MICHAEL: No I do not. TOM: Senator, my client would like to read a statement before this committee. SENATOR: Mr. Chairman - Mr. Chairman, I think this statement is totally out of order at this time. THE GODFATHER, PART II Page 82 TOM: (OFF) Sir, my client has (ON) answered every question asked by this committee with the utmost sincerity. He has not taken the Fifth Amendment as it was his right to do, so in all fairness, I think this statement should be heard. CHAIRMAN: No, no I'm going to allow Mr. Corleone to read his statement. I'll put it in the record. MICHAEL: (READS) In the hopes of clearing my family name - in the sincere desire to give my children their fair share of the American way of life, without a blemish on their name and background - I have appeared before this committee, and given it all the cooperation in my power. I consider it a great dishonor to me personally to have to deny that I am a criminal. I wish to have the following noted for the record: That I served my country faithfully and honorably in World War Two, and was awarded - the Navy Cross for actions in defense of my country; that I have never been arrested or indicted for any crime whatsoever - that no proof linking me to any criminal conspiracy - whether it is called Mafia or Cosa Nostra or whatever other name you wish to give, has ever been made public. (OFF) I have not taken refuge behind the Fifth Amendment, although it is my right to do so. (PAPER RATTLE, OFF) THE GODFATHER, PART II Page 83 MICHAEL: (READING) I challenge this committee - to produce any witness or evidence against me - and if they do not - I hope they will have the decency to clear my name with the same publicity with which they now have besmirched it. CHAIRMAN: (OFF) I'm sure we're all quite impressed, Mr. Corleone. Particularly (ON) with your love for our country. The committee will stand in recess until ten A.M. Monday morning at which time the committee will produce a witness who will corroborate the charges which were made (OFF) against you today and at which time, Mr. Corleone, you may very well be subject to indictment for perjury. (ON) I remind you that you're still under subpoena, Mr. (OFF) Corleone. All right, adjourned. (GAVEL) (AD LIB FROM REPORTERS) FRANKIE: Ten to one, ten to one shot you said.
