Mr. Cohen. This is an interview of Dixie Carter conducted by the house committee on oversight and government reform. This interview is part of the committee's investigations into the use of performance enhancing drugs in professional wrestling.

Mr. Cohen. My name is Brian Cohen. I'm a member of the majority staff. Ms. Carter, you're represented by counsel. Can your counsel state your full names for the record as well?

Mr. Cohen. Before beginning, I have a few standard instructions and explanations regarding the interview to go over. The reporter will be recording everything you say and will make a written record of the interview. As you give answers, please give verbal, audible answers because the reporter obviously cannot record nods or gestures. I'm going to ask you questions on a particular subject matter. When I finish my questions on a specific matter, I'll turn to my colleagues and ask them if they have any additional questions. We'll make every effort not to take up any more of your time than we need to collect the information that we need. If you need a break at any time, please let us know and we can step out and take a couple of minutes to rest and relax. This is not a deposition. So you'll not be placed under oath. You're required by law, however, to answer 4 questions from Congress truthfully. Is there any reason you're unable to provide truthful answers in today's hearing.

Ms. Carter. Absolutely not.

Mr. Cacheris. I understand we'll be given a copy -­access to the transcript to review when it is completed?

Mr. Cohen. Correct. You'll be invited in -- it is usually 2 or 3 days?

Mr. Buffone. Within a week.
