:42:02
... the people know one of those
parties will be destroyed...
:42:05
... and the republic can"t endure
very long as a one-party system.
:42:10
On one thing the senator
has been consistent.
:42:13
Often operating
as a one-man committee...
:42:15
...he has traveled far,
interviewed many, terrorized some...
:42:19
...accused civilian and military leaders
of the past administration...
:42:23
...of a great conspiracy to turn
over the country to Communism.
:42:26
Well, may I say that I was extremely
shocked when I heard that...
:42:29
... Secretary Stevens told two Army officers
that they had to take part in the cover-up...
:42:36
... of those who promoted
and coddled Communists.
:42:38
As I read his statement
I thought of that quotation:
:42:44
"On what meat doth
this our Caesar feed?"
:42:49
The question is, did the Civil Liberties Union
supply you with an attorney?
:42:52
They did supply an attorney.
:42:54
- The answer is yes?
- The answer is yes.
:42:56
Do you think this book
did considerable harm, its publication...
:43:02
... by an expression of the views
contained in it?
:43:05
The sale of that book was so abysmally
small, it was so unsuccessful...
:43:11
... that a question of its influence...
:43:14
You can go to the publisher...
:43:15
... you"ll see it was one of the most
unsuccessful books he ever put out.
:43:19
He"s still sorry about it, just as I am.
:43:21
Well, I think that"s a compliment
to American intelligence.
:43:25
L"ll say that.
:43:28
The Reed Harris hearing demonstrates
one of the senator's techniques.
:43:31
Twice he said:
:43:33
"The American Civil Liberties Union
was listed as a subversive front."
:43:37
The Attorney General's list does not and
never has listed the ACLU as subversive...
:43:41
...nor does the FBI, or any other
federal government agency.
:43:45
And the American Civil Liberties Union
holds in its files...
:43:49
...letters of commendation
from President Truman...
:43:51
...President Eisenower
and General MacArthur.
:43:55
Earlier, the senator asked:
:43:57
"Upon what meat doth
this our Caesar feed?"
