: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...
:42:01
...letters of commendation
from President Truman...
:42:04
...President Eisenhower,
and General MacArthur.
:42:07
Earlier, the Senator asked, "Upon what
meat does this our Caesar feed?".
:42:12
Had he looked three lines earlier
in Shakespeare's "Caesar"...
:42:14
...he would have found this line,
which is not altogether inappropriate.
:42:18
"The fault, dear Brutus, is not
in our stars, but in ourselves."
:42:23
No one familiar with the history
of this country...
:42:25
...can deny that Congressional
committees are useful.
:42:28
It is necessary to investigate
before legislating...
:42:31
...but the line between investigating
and persecuting is a very fine one...
:42:34
...and the junior Senator from Wisconsin
has stepped over it repeatedly.
:42:38
We must not confuse dissent
with disloyalty.
:42:41
We must remember always
that accusation is not proof...
:42:44
...and that conviction depends
upon evidence and due process of law.
:42:49
We will not walk in fear,
one of another.
:42:51
We will not be driven by fear
into an age of unreason...
:42:54
...if we dig deep
in our history and doctrine...
:42:57
...and remember that we are not
descended from fearful men...
