    Any individual compelled to appear in person in any Commission

provided in this section. (Regulations as to persons seeking voluntarily 
to appear and give evidence are set forth in Sec.  1.225.)

initiative or that of the witness, before, during, and after the 
conclusion of the proceeding.
    (b) Counsel for the witness will be permitted to make objections on 
the record, and to state briefly the basis for such objections, in 
connection with any examination of his client.
    (c) At the conclusion of the examination of his client, counsel may 
ask clarifying questions if in the judgment of the presiding officer 
such questioning is necessary or desirable in order to avoid ambiguity 
or incompleteness in the responses previously given.
    (d) Except as provided by paragraph (c) of this section, counsel for 
the witness may not examine or cross-examine any witness, or offer 
documentary evidence, unless authorized by the Commission to do so.
