There will be copies available
for you in English and in German.

:28:02
Sir, is it true you're defecting
:28:04
because Washington abandoned
your anti-missile program?

:28:06
I'll explain that.
:28:07
Professor, is that the anti-missile missile?
:28:09
The one that's supposed to make
nuclear defense obsolete?

:28:11
- Yes, it is.
- (Speaks In German)

:28:13
(Interpreter) No questions.
:28:14
Does that mean
that your plan is to hand over

:28:15
your secret work to a communist country?
:28:18
(Armstrong)
I have a statement, if you don't mind.

:28:21
Professor?
:28:27
Today... (Clears Throat)
:28:30
in my country, the United States,
:28:33
there are people in high places
:28:35
who do not want to see
atomic war abolished.

:28:39
Now, because of that,
a project that I was working on

:28:41
for six years
was cancelled by my government.

:28:44
Uh... that project is more important
:28:47
than the considerations
of loyalty to any one country.

:28:52
As a result of that, I, uh...
:28:59
As a result of that, I, um... (Clears Throat)
:29:01
I am offering my services
to your University of Leipzig,

:29:04
hopefully to work with
Professor Gustav Lindt,

:29:06
a leading authority in my field.
:29:08
Together with Professor Lindt,
:29:11
we will produce a defensive weapon
:29:14
that will make, um...
all offensive nuclear weapons

:29:18
obsolete,
:29:20
and thereby
:29:22
abolish the terror of nuclear wafrare.
:29:25
- Thank you.
- (Reporter) One question, please.

:29:27
(Gerhard) That's all.
:29:40
- Miss Sherman, goodbye.
- Goodbye.

:29:42
- Professor.
- Fäulein Sherman.

:29:45
- Herr Professor. Auf Wiedersehen.
- Thank you.

:29:47
This way, please.
:29:51
Hey!
:29:59
How come all the English
and American correspondents?
