:19:01
For example, the Institute
of International Education...
:19:05
... of which he was the acting director...
:19:08
... was chosen to act as a representative
by a Soviet agency...
:19:14
... to do a job which would normally
be done by the Russian Secret Police.
:19:20
Now, Mr. Murrow by his own admission
was a member of the IWW...
:19:24
... that"s the
Industrial Workers of the World...
:19:26
... a terrorist organization
cited as subversive...
:19:30
... by an Attorney General
of the United States.
:19:32
Now, Mr. Murrow said on this program,
and I quote:
:19:37
"The actions of the junior senator
from Wisconsin...
:19:42
...have given considerable comfort
to the enemy."
:19:46
That is the language of our statute
of treason, rather strong language.
:19:51
If I am giving comfort to our enemies...
:19:55
...I ought not to be in the Senate.
:19:57
If on the other hand Mr. Murrow...
:19:59
...is giving comfort to our enemies...
:20:01
...he ought not to be
brought into the homes...
:20:04
...of millions of Americans
by the Columbia Broadcasting System.
:20:08
And I want to assure you...
:20:10
...that I will not be deterred...
:20:14
...by the attacks of the Murrows...
:20:17
...the Lattimores, the Fosters...
:20:21
...the Daily Worker or
the Communist party itself.
:20:27
And I make no claim to leadership.
:20:32
In complete humility...
:20:36
... I do ask you and every American...
:20:39
... who loves this country...
:20:41
... to join with me.
