§ 4406. Examinations; publication. (a) All reports and copies of

reports of examinations and investigations of any employee welfare fund,

shall be confidential communications, shall not be subject to subpoena

and shall not be made public unless, in the judgment of the

served by the publication thereof, in which event he may publish a copy

of any such report or any part thereof in such manner as he may deem

proper.

such information covering:

(1) forms of trust indentures in use;

(2) commission and fee schedules adopted by insurers;

(3) compensation paid to trustees of employee welfare funds; and

(4) such other matters affecting the establishment and administration

of such funds as, in his opinion, are in the public interest.
