Condon, put Mrs. Hornig here on the plutonium team.

He should be thanking me. Well, he's not. (huffs) Do we still have enough votes, or is the crowning moment of my career about to become the most public humiliation of my life? Full Senate's about to vote. You'll scrape through. Great, then gather the fucking press. GRAY: Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer. This board, having heard testimony from you and many of your current and former colleagues, has come to the unanimous conclusion that you are a loyal citizen.

Members of the security board, the so-called derogatory information in your indictment of me cannot be fairly understood, except in the context of my life and my work.

I tried Personnel. They asked if I could type. Can you? Harvard forgot to teach that on the graduate chemistry course.

And one day, when they've punished you enough... they'll serve you salmon and potato salad. Make speeches... give you a medal. (applause) Hello, Frank. You're happy, I'm happy. (gentle music continues)

ROBB: Doctor, did you think social contacts between a person engaged on secret war work and Communists was dangerous? My awareness of the danger would be greater today. I mean, it's fair to say that during the war years, you felt that such contacts were potentially dangerous.

You said you would always answer.

The arming party's left Zero, they're heading this way. Throwing the switches. Turn the cars. Ready for emergency evacuation.

The firestorm in Tokyo killed 100,000 people. Mostly civilians. I worry about an America where we do these things and no one protests. Pearl Harbor and three years of brutal conflict in the Pacific bought us a lot of latitude with the American public. STIMSON: Enough to unleash the atomic bomb? FERMI: Uh, the A-bomb might not cause as much damage as the Tokyo bombings. What are we estimating? In a medium-size city, uh, 20 or 30,000 dead. ROBERT: Yes, but, uh, don't underestimate the psychological impact of a... of an atomic explosion. A pillar of fire 10,000 feet tall. Deadly neutron effects for a mile, in all directions, from one single device. Dropped from a barely noticed B-29, the atomic bomb will be a terrible revelation of divine power. If that's true, it would be definitive. World War II would be over. Our boys would come home. Military targets?

It's too soon to determine what the results of the bombing are.

During the Battle of Britain, I found myself increasingly out of sympathy with the (clears throat) policy of neutrality that Communists advocated. Right after Hitler invaded Russia and we became allies, these Communist sympathies, did they return? No.

That's all. HILL: The record demonstrates that Oppenheimer was not interrogated by impartial and disinterested counsel for the Gray board. He was interrogated by a prosecutor who used all the tricks of a rather ingenious legal background. SENATOR SCOTT: You are charging now that the Gray board permitted a prosecution. If I were on the Gray board, I would have protested against the tactics of the man who served, in fact, as the prosecuting counsel. A man appointed not by the board but by Lewis Strauss. (people exclaim) Who was this?

That's it? Robert, we've given them an ace, it's for them to play the hand.
