During the actual taping last night Mr. Hoffman wore a shirt made of an American flag and as you'll hear him point out this use of the flag raised a serious legal problem. Because of the possibility of violation of law as to disrespect and desecreation of the flag and to avoid affronting many of our viewers we will present Mr. Hoffman's discussion with Merv and his other guests but we will mask by electronic means his use of the flag aS a garment.
