:21:02
... why their father is a security risk?
:21:05
I see absolutely
that this is a chain reaction.
:21:11
If the thing is let stand as it...
:21:14
The first recommendation
was sent out by the board...
:21:18
... I see a chain reaction that has
no end to anybody, for anybody.
:21:24
Perhaps you will permit me
to read a few sentences just at the end...
:21:28
...because I would like to say
rather precisely what I mean.
:21:31
We have told the Air Force that we will
provide facilities for any comment...
:21:35
...or corrections it may wish to make
in regard to the case of Milo Radulovich.
:21:40
We are unable to judge the charges
against the lieutenant's father or sister...
:21:44
...because neither we, nor you, nor they,
nor the lawyers, nor the lieutenant...
:21:49
...know precisely what was contained
in that manila envelope.
:21:52
Was it hearsay, rumor, gossip, slander...
:21:56
...or hard ascertainable facts
that could be backed by credible witnesses?
:22:00
We do not know.
:22:02
We believe the son shall not bear
the iniquity of the father.
:22:05
Even though that iniquity be proved,
and in this case it was not.
:22:10
But we believe too...
:22:11
...that this case illustrates
the need for the Armed Forces...
:22:14
...to communicate more fully
than they have so far done...
:22:17
...the procedures and regulations
to be followed...
:22:20
...in attempting to protect
the national security...
:22:22
...and the rights of the individual
at the same time.
:22:26
Whatever happens in this whole area...
:22:28
...of the relationship between
the individual and the state...
:22:31
...we will do it ourselves.
:22:33
It cannot be blamed on Malenkov
or Mao Tse-tung or even our allies.
:22:38
And it seems to us,
that is Fred Friendly and myself...
:22:42
...that this is a subject
that should be argued about endlessly.
:22:47
Good night, and good luck.
:22:56
And we're out.
