LAWRENCE: Greetings from Berkeley. I am here to update you on our progress and solicit your input. To do so, I am going to have to share a few things that General Groves told me not to.

STRAUSS: I'm told that there were Communists on the project. We didn't knowingly employ any Communists. I just want to know, were any of them involved in discussions of the Super? I seem to remember you demanding your brother come to Los Alamos. My brother had left the Party by then. What about Lomanitz? Lomanitz was never employed at Los Alamos. He was a liaison.

We've all read his file here.

What about the Super? Does Truman even know about it? Did we brief him on that? Not specifically. ROBERT: We still don't know if a hydrogen bomb's technically feasible. Right, my understanding is that Teller proposed it? - ROBERT: Yes. - At Los Alamos? Teller's designs have always been wildly impractical. You'd have to deliver by ox cart. - Not airplane. - LAWRENCE: Oppie. I'm sorry, Dr. Lawrence, you want to comment?
