TRUMAN (on radio): Sixteen hours ago, an American airplane dropped one bomb on Hiroshima... and destroyed its usefulness to the enemy. (elated laughter outside) The bomb had more power than 20,000 tons of TNT.

ROBB: After the Russian A-bomb test, did Dr. Lawrence come to see you about the hydrogen bomb? You'd be better off asking him. Well, I fully intend to. Would you say that Dr. Oppenheimer was unalterably opposed to the H-bomb? No, he-he thought that a fusion program would come at the expense of our awfully good fission program. But that proved not to be the case. In the event both could be done. Suppose that this board did not feel satisfied that in his testimony here, Dr. Oppenheimer had been wholly truthful. What would you say whether or not he should be cleared? Why go through all this against a man who has accomplished what Dr. Oppenheimer has? Look at his record. We have an A-bomb and a whole series of it. We have a whole series of Super bombs. What more do you want? Mermaids? TELLER: But I've known Secretary Strauss for many years, and I feel it a necessity to express the warm support for science and scientists Lewis has shown. We'll break now, unless there's any immediate business. STRAUSS: Senator, I'd like to once again request that we're furnished with a list of witnesses. And I will remind the nominee that we don't always have that information in advance. We do know that Dr. Hill will be here after lunch. Mr. Chairman, our next scheduled witness, Dr. Lawrence, has apparently come down with colitis.

It is an atomic bomb. - (excited chatter) - (car horns honking) It is a harnessing of the basic powers of the universe.

The fact that we built this bomb does not give us any more... any more right or responsibility to decide how it's used than anyone else. But we're the only people who know about it. I've told Stimson the various opinions of the community. But what's your opinion?
