GARRISON: Dr. Oppenheimer had no responsibility in the selection or the clearance of Klaus Fuchs, did he? No. None at all. And you wouldn't want to leave this board with any suggestion today that you're here questioning his basic loyalty to the United States in the operation of Los Alamos? By no means. I hope I didn't lead anyone to believe otherwise for an instant. GRAY: Thank you, General. (wistful music playing)

Under the current AEC guidelines, would you clear Dr. Oppenheimer today? (unnerving music playing) Under my interpretation (sighs) of the Atomic Energy Act, which did not exist when I hired Dr. Oppenheimer in 1942... I would not clear him today, uh, if I were on the commission. ROBB: Good. Thank you, General. That is all. But I don't think I'd clear any of those guys. That's all.

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)

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?

The views I have to express are my own, but I believe that much I have to say will help to indicate why most of the scientists in this country would prefer to see Mr. Strauss completely out of government. (murmurs of surprise) You're... You're referring to the hostility of certain scientists directed toward Mr. Strauss because of his commitment to security as demonstrated in the Oppenheimer affair?
