As I said, Teller's designs are still as impractical as they were during the war. A hydrogen bomb can be made to work, Oppie, you know that. I don't believe we should commit all our resources to that chance. Then how would you have Truman reassure the American people? Simply by limiting the spread of atomic weapons through international control on nuclear energy. By which you mean world government? The United Nations as Roosevelt intended. Well, I... I asked what Truman should do, right? The world's changed, it's not fascism but Communism that now threatens our survival. Lewis, do you understand, if we build a hydrogen bomb, the Russians will have no choice but to build their own? Could they be working on one already? Based on information gathered from a spy at Los Alamos. No spy at Los Alamos. - Gentlemen. - There wasn't? Let's not get sidetracked. I say we use this moment to gain concessions from the Russians by committing that we will not build a hydrogen bomb. Thereby revealing its existence. Which you seem convinced they already know. (clears throat) All right. At this point, I'd like the committee members to meet in privacy to finalize our recommendations.
