1:02:02
...is of any great importance
as individuals.
1:02:06
We are only important...
1:02:07
...in our relation to the great struggle
to preserve our American liberties.
1:02:12
Now ordinarily, I wouldnt take time
out from the important work at hand...
1:02:17
...to answer Murrow.
1:02:19
However, in this case...
1:02:20
...I feel justified in doing so
because Murrow is the symbol...
1:02:25
...the leader...
1:02:26
...and the cleverest of the jackal pack
which is always found at the throat...
1:02:31
...of anyone who dares to expose
individual Communists and traitors.
1:02:36
And I am compelled by the fact...
1:02:38
...to say to you
that Mr. Edward R. Murrow...
1:02:41
...as far back as 20 years ago...
1:02:45
...was engaged in propaganda
for Communist causes.
1:02:49
For example, the Institute
of International Education...
1:02:52
...of which he was
the Acting Director...
1:02:55
...was chosen to act
as a representative...
1:02:58
...by a Soviet agency...
1:03:01
...to do a job which would normally
be done by the Russian secret police.
1:03:07
Mr. Murrow, by his own admission,
was a member of the IWW...
1:03:10
...that's the Industrial Workers
of the World...
1:03:13
...a terrorist organization
cited as subversive...
1:03:16
...by an Attorney General
of the United States.
1:03:19
Mr. Murrow said on this program
and I quote...
1:03:23
..."The actions of the junior
Senator from Wisconsin..."
1:03:27
"...have given considerable comfort
to the enemy."
1:03:32
That is the language of our statute
of treason, rather strong language.
1:03:36
If I am giving comfort to our enemies,
I ought not to be in the Senate.
1:03:42
If, on the other hand,
Mr. Murrow...
1:03:44
...is giving comfort to our enemies...
1:03:46
...he ought not to be brought
into the homes...
1:03:49
...of millions of Americans
by the CBS.
1:03:53
And I want to assure you...
1:03:55
...that I will not be deterred...
1:03:59
...by the attacks of the Murrows,
the Lattimores, the Fosters...
