:40:01
We applaud that statement...
:40:02
...and we think
Senator McCarthy ought to.
:40:05
He said it
17 months ago in Milwaukee.
:40:08
The American people realize
that this cannot be made a fight...
:40:11
...between America's
two great political parties.
:40:14
If this fight against Communism...
:40:16
...is made a fight against America's
two great political parties...
:40:19
...the American people know that one
of those parties will be destroyed...
:40:22
...and the Republic can't endure
very long as a one-party system.
:40:26
On one thing the Senator
has been consistent.
:40:29
Often operating as a one-man
committee, he has traveled far...
:40:33
...interviewed many,
terrorized some...
:40:35
...accused civilian
and military leaders...
:40:37
...of the past administration
of a great conspiracy...
:40:40
...to turn over the country
to Communism.
:40:42
I was extremely shocked when I heard
that Secretary Stevens...
:40:47
...told 2 Army officers that they had
to take part in the cover up...
:40:51
...of those who promoted
and coddled Communists.
:40:54
As I read his statement, I...
:40:58
...thought of that quotation,
"On what meat..."
:41:01
"...does this our Caesar feed?".
:41:03
The questions is:
:41:04
...did the Civil Liberties Union
supply you with an attorney?
:41:07
- They did supply an attorney.
- The answer is yes?
:41:10
The answer is yes.
:41:11
Do you think this book
did considerable harm?
:41:14
Its publication...
:41:16
...by an expression of the views
contained in it?
:41:19
The sale of that book
was so abysmally small...
:41:23
...it was so unsuccessful,
that the question of its influence...
:41:27
You can go back
to the publisher...
:41:29
...you'll see it was one of the most
unsuccessful books he ever put out.
:41:33
He's still sorry about it,
just as I am.
:41:35
Well, I think that's a compliment
to American intelligence.
:41:39
I'll say that.
:41:41
The Reed Harris hearing demonstrates
one of the Senator's techniques.
:41:45
Twice he said...
:41:46
...'The American Civil Liberties Union
was listed as a subversive front."
:41:50
The Attorney General's list does not
and never has listed...
:41:53
...the ACLU as subversive,
nor does the FBI...
:41:56
...or any other
federal government agency.
:41:58
And the American Civil Liberties Union
holds in its files...
