ROBB: In the months in between your interview with Dr. Oppenheimer and his eventual naming of Chevalier, did you expend resources trying to find the name of the intermediary? Considerable resources, yes. Without the name, our job was extremely difficult. And when did you receive the name? I was gone by the time -Oppenheimer finally offered it up. -Gone? They felt my time would be better spent in Europe determining the status of the Nazi bomb project. Who did?

I won't take up too much of your time. No, no, not at all. Whatever time you choose. Mm. Mr. Johnson told me of a conversation you had yesterday in which I'm very interested. It's had me worried all day. Yes, well, I didn't want to talk to Lomanitz without authorization. That's not the particular interest that I have. It's something a little bit more... well, in my opinion, more serious. Now, when the FBI pointed out that such information wouldn't be admissible in court, Pash made it clear he had no intention of leaving any witness left to prosecute. Now, the FBI talked him down, but that's the man you're dancing with. I gather you've heard there are other parties interested in the work of the Radiation Lab. A man attached to the Soviet Consul indicated, through intermediate people, to people on this project, that he was in a position to transmit information. Oh, why would anyone on the project want to do that?

Well, I'd love to get more details. Well, I... I have an appointment now and I leave early tomorrow. Well, come back as early as you like. Since you haven't time now.

She took barbiturates, but there was chloral hydrate in her blood. (muffled screaming) (screaming stops) There was a note. (whispering): Jean Tatlock?

(chuckles) I don't know. See where the math takes us. I guarantee it's somewhere no one's been before. Me? Yes, you. Your math is better than mine. (students laughing) SENATOR BARTLETT: Dr. Oppenheimer's file contained detail of his activities in Berkeley. Why would they have started a file on Dr. Oppenheimer before the war? Well, you'd have to ask Mr. Hoover. I'm asking you, Admiral Strauss. Uh, my assumption is that it was connected to his, uh, left-wing political activities.

Little remote for that. Yes. Let's get some sleep.

It has long been clear to me that I should have reported this incident at once. SENATOR McGEE: The Oppenheimer situation highlights the tension between scientists and the security apparatus. In hopes of learning how the nominee handled such issues during his time at the AEC, we'll have a scientist appearing before the committee.
