The opinion

ORDER DENYING REHEARING

PER CURIAM.

Upon consideration of the Petition for Rehearing in the above-entitled cases, and it appearing that no substantial issue was raised not previously considered by this court, it is hereby

Ordered: The petition for rehearing and reconsideration is denied, with the following clarification:

In order to prevent pretrial discovery of the identity of prosecution witnesses the petition, in the alternative, requests this court to clarify its opinion by stating that when the Government is ordered to produce documents deemed relevant under the Jencks Act the material made available to the defense should exclude the names and addresses of Government witnesses other than those testifying at the hearing.

Nothing in our original opinion, however, was intended to impair the obligation of trial courts under 18 U.S.C. § 3500 (c) to excise from the statement of a witness pri- or to its delivery to the defendant any portions of such statement not relating to the subject matter of his direct testimony.
