It's gonna come down to how much influence Borden's been able to exert on Teller. - (Kitty laughing) - Did I say something funny? Just "Borden, Borden, Borden" when we all know that it's Strauss. Lewis brought me to Princeton, Kitty. And then you humiliated him in front of Congress. But more useful than a sandwich. (laughter)

Christ's sake. (door slams) It wasn't Nichols or Hoover or one of Truman's guys. It was you. You gave the file to Borden. You set him on Oppenheimer. - You convinced him to... - (loudly): Borden... (in normal tone): didn't take any convincing. NICHOLS: Take your time, use the entire file. Write up your conclusion, send them to the FBI. The material is obviously extensive, but there's nothing new here. STRAUSS: Your conclusions will be. And they'll have to be answered. Hoover passes them to McCarthy? Oppenheimer's too slippery for that self-promoting clown. I've talked it over with Hoover, he'll hold McCarthy at bay while you do this with the AEC. - A trial. - No. No trial. You can't give Oppenheimer a platform. You can't martyr him. We need a systematic destruction of Oppenheimer's credibility so he can never again speak on matters of national security. Then what?

No. Because of the personal vindictiveness he demonstrated against Dr. Oppenheimer. (people exclaiming) - MAGNUSON: Order. - (gavel banging) Order! It appears to most scientists around this country that Robert Oppenheimer is now being pilloried and put through an ordeal because he expressed his honest opinions. Dr. Bush, I thought I was performing a service to my country when hearing this case. No board in this country should sit in judgment of a man because he expressed strong opinions. If you want to try that case, you should try me. Excuse me, gentlemen, if I become stirred, but I am. Dr. Hill, we've already heard that Mr. Strauss did not bring the charges or participate in the hearings against Dr. Oppenheimer. The Oppenheimer matter was initiated and carried through largely through the animus of Lewis Strauss. (people exclaim) Oppenheimer made mincemeat out of Strauss's position on the shipment of isotopes to Norway, and Strauss never forgave him this public humiliation. Another controversy between them centered around their differences in judgment on how the H-bomb would contribute to national security. Strauss turned to the personnel security system in order to destroy Oppenheimer's effectiveness, and Strauss was able to find a few ambitious men who also disagreed with Oppenheimer's positions and envied him his prestige in government circles. TELLER: 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. Do you or do you not believe that Dr. Oppenheimer is a security risk?
