MR DU PLESSIS
Mr Chairman I may mention that I am inpossession of a copy of the subpoena utilised by the Truth andReconciliation Commission.  I have read through it now.  It doesn'trefer to the Criminal Procedure Act, it doesn't refer to the regulationsand it doesn't make provision for any time period.  It is justa subpoena requesting or ordering the person to come and giveevidence or to answer questions relevant to the applications ata hearing.  I wasn't under the impression, apart from the formthat has been promulgated that any other regulations have beenpromulgated.  So the way I read it is that the Commission
1. can/...
237
can act in terms of Section 29 and subpoena anybody in respectof the holding of a hearing by notice in writing to appear beforethe Commission and to give evidence or to answer questions relevantto the subject matter of the hearing.  And that is why I directthat request.
