Its only intended target would be the largest cities. It's a weapon of mass genocide. Izzy, draw some circles on this side of the map where they would target us. - Starting with New York. D.C. - RABI: That's fair. It's a weapon of attack with no defensive value. - Deterrence. - BUSH: "Deterrence"? Do we really need more deterrence than our current arsenal of atomic bombs? Y-You drown in ten feet of water or-or 10,000, - what's the difference? - (rhythmic stomping) We can already drown Russia. They know it. - And now they can drown us. - So we're just escalating... (stomping intensifying) (discussion continues indistinctly)

BOHR: The British pilots put me in the bomb bay. Showed me the-the oxygen, you know, - but I messed it up. - (crowd laughs) Uh, when they opened me up in Scotland, I was unconscious. But I pretended I'd been napping. (crowd laughing) Please enjoy your party. (light applause) (whispering): Is it big enough? To end the war? To end all war.

ROBB: So the Super was under development on your watch at Los Alamos? Yes. ROBB: And yet, after the war, you tried to deny it was viable. No, no, no. I... I pointed out technical difficulties with it. You... Didn't you try to kill it at the AEC meeting - after the Russian bomb test? - No. ROBB: But that was the recommendation of the AEC, - was it not? - After hours of discussion about the best response. An H-bomb is 1,000 times the power of an A-bomb.

Oppie, I don't think you want to go up against Strauss. If we both speak, they listen to me. When you speak, they hear a prophet. When Strauss speaks, they hear themselves. They'll listen to a prophet. A prophet can't be wrong. Not once. SENATOR McGEE: Didn't you accuse Oppenheimer of sabotaging the development of the Super? I was never one of those to bandy around terms like "sabotage." SENATOR McGEE: But Mr. Borden was? As I understand it, possibly. How was Mr. Borden able to put together such a detailed indictment? He was no longer a government employee, yet he appears to have had unlimited access to Dr. Oppenheimer's file. Might Mr. Nichols have given him access to the file? Or someone else, at the AEC? That's a very serious accusation, Senator. Is it your intention to suggest that Dr. Oppenheimer is disloyal to the United States? I've always assumed, and still assume, that he's loyal to the United States. I believe this. And I shall believe it until I see very conclusive proof to the opposite. ROBB: Do you or do you not believe that Dr. Oppenheimer is a security risk?

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.
