GARRISON: Dr. Rabi, thank you for coming. Do you know who else the prosecution has called? Teller, obviously.

Don't take in the sheets. (breathes heavily) (clamoring) REPORTER: Get a picture with him. REPORTERS: Sir, sir. SENATE AIDE: Two minutes. Two minutes. - You'll get your shot. - REPORTER 1: Please, sir. We've been waiting for so long. - REPORTER 2: Evening, sir. - REPORTER 3: Come out. REPORTER 4: Sir, sir! STRAUSS: Is it official?

GARRISON: Dr. Rabi, what governmental positions do you currently hold? I am the chairman of the General Advisory Committee to the AEC, succeeding Dr. Oppenheimer. GARRISON: And how long have you known Dr. Oppenheimer? Since 1928. I... I know him quite well. Well enough to speak to the bearing of his loyalty and character? Dr. Oppenheimer is a man of upstanding character. And he is loyal to the United States, to his friends, to the institutions of which he is part.

They've asked Lawrence. What did he say? He wasn't going to help them, but... But? Strauss told him that you and Ruth Tolman have been having an affair for years. The whole time you lived - with them in Pasadena. - (sighs) He convinced Lawrence that Richard died of a broken heart. That's absurd. - What part? - The broken heart. Richard never found out. Is Lawrence gonna testify? I don't know.

TRUMAN (on radio): Sixteen hours ago, an American airplane dropped one bomb on Hiroshima... and destroyed its usefulness to the enemy. (elated laughter outside) The bomb had more power than 20,000 tons of TNT.

ROBB: After the Russian A-bomb test, did Dr. Lawrence come to see you about the hydrogen bomb? You'd be better off asking him. Well, I fully intend to. Would you say that Dr. Oppenheimer was unalterably opposed to the H-bomb? No, he-he thought that a fusion program would come at the expense of our awfully good fission program. But that proved not to be the case. In the event both could be done. Suppose that this board did not feel satisfied that in his testimony here, Dr. Oppenheimer had been wholly truthful. What would you say whether or not he should be cleared? Why go through all this against a man who has accomplished what Dr. Oppenheimer has? Look at his record. We have an A-bomb and a whole series of it. We have a whole series of Super bombs. What more do you want? Mermaids? TELLER: But I've known Secretary Strauss for many years, and I feel it a necessity to express the warm support for science and scientists Lewis has shown. We'll break now, unless there's any immediate business. STRAUSS: Senator, I'd like to once again request that we're furnished with a list of witnesses. And I will remind the nominee that we don't always have that information in advance. We do know that Dr. Hill will be here after lunch. Mr. Chairman, our next scheduled witness, Dr. Lawrence, has apparently come down with colitis.

The fact that we built this bomb does not give us any more... any more right or responsibility to decide how it's used than anyone else. But we're the only people who know about it. I've told Stimson the various opinions of the community. But what's your opinion?
