2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““The law does not require that the testimony of witnesses before a grand jury be recorded or transcribed. Rule 6(d), F.R.Crim.P. is permissive, not mandatory. Every court that has considered the question has so held. United States v. Caruso, 2 Cir., 1966, 358 F.2d 184 , 186; United States v. Cianchetti, 2 Cir., 1963, 315 F.2d 584 , 591; United States v. Martel, D.C.N. Y„ 1954, 17 F.R.D. 326 (cited with approval in Cianchetti, supra); United States v. Hensley, 6 Cir., 1967, 374 F.2d 341 , 352; Welch v. United States, 10 Cir., 1966, 371 F.2d 287 , 291. Nor is there support for the claim that failure to record grand jury testimony violates the defendants’ constitutional rights. United States v. Cianchetti, supra, and United States v. Hensley, supra, are to the contrary. See also Lawn v. United States, 1958, 355 U.S. 339 , 349-350, 78 S.Ct. 311 , 2 L.Ed.2d 321 ; Costello v. United States, 1956, 350 U.S. 359 , 76 S.Ct. 406 , 100 L.Ed. 397 .””
