LLOYD GARRISON: General Groves, were you aware of Dr. Oppenheimer's left-wing associations when you appointed him? GROVES: I was aware that there were suspicions about him. I was aware he had a very extreme liberal background. In your opinion, would he ever consciously commit a disloyal act? I would be amazed if he did. GARRISON: So you had complete confidence in his integrity. At Los Alamos, yes, which is where I really knew him. General, did your security officers on the project advise you against the clearance of Dr. Oppenheimer? They could not and would not clear him until I insisted. And it's safe to say that you had a pretty good knowledge of Dr. Oppenheimer's security file. GROVES: I did. Well, then there's only really one question I need answered here today. In light of the current AEC guidelines, would you clear Dr. Oppenheimer today? Do you have the guidelines? ROBB: Under current AEC guidelines, would you clear Dr. Oppenheimer today? - (birds chirping) - (rooster crowing)

You are aware that the Nazis have a two-year head start. Dr. Oppenheimer, the fact that your security clearance is proving difficult to obtain is not my fault. It's yours. May not be your fault, but it's your problem. Because I'm going. STRAUSS: And how many people were in these, uh, - open discussions? - NICHOLS: Too many. Compartmentalization was supposed to be the protocol. We were in a race against the Nazis. And now the race is against the Soviets. - Not unless we start it. - STRAUSS: Robert. They just fired a starting gun. What's the nature of the device they detonated? ROBERT: The data indicates it may have been a plutonium implosion device. Like the one you built at Los Alamos. The Russians have a bomb, Truman needs to know what's next. What's next? Arms talks. - Arms talks. - Obviously.
