The court may issue an order requiring the subpenaed person to appear before the Attorney General to produce records, if so ordered, or to give testi- mony touching the matter under investigation. Any failure to obey the order of the court may be punished by the court as a contempt thereof. All process in any such case may be served in any judicial district in which such person may be found. *U.S. Government Printing Office: 1989-240-721/95617
