1:29:01
By all means.
1:29:07
They want names. That's why we're here.
1:29:12
Come on, you can't beat these bastards!
1:29:15
Keep this up, they'll tear your head off.
1:29:19
They already have.
1:29:27
[Chuckling]
1:29:33
Fuck them.
1:29:37
I beg to be excused, Mr. Chairman.
1:29:40
My client has dismissed me.
1:29:42
[Crowd gasps in surprise]
1:29:48
TAVENNER: I'll ask you again.
1:29:50
In whose homes did these meetings occur?
1:29:52
I'll answer questions about myself.
1:29:55
I won't answer questions about anyone else.
1:29:58
TAVENNER: I introduce as evidence
photographs of the witness at a rally of...
1:30:02
...the Federation of Atomic Scientists
at the Institute of Technology...
1:30:06
...April 1 7, 1 946.
1:30:09
I ask that they be marked
''Merrill Exhibits no. 1-15. ''
1:30:12
CHAIRMAN: You may do so.
The witness will examine these also.
1:30:16
TAVENNER: Did you attend this rally
and is this you in the picture?
1:30:19
Yes.
1:30:21
Was the topic of this rally...
1:30:23
...to eliminate the atomic bomb
as a strategic weapon?
1:30:26
To eliminate the atomic bomb, period.
1:30:29
TAVENNER: You represented
the Hollywood Peace Forum?
1:30:32
Yes.
1:30:34
I read from a statement
by the chief of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover...
1:30:38
...wherein he states:
1:30:39
''The Hollywood Peace Forum cries
for peace...
1:30:42
''...but has only one purpose:
To disrupt public opinion...
1:30:45
''...about the atomic bomb long enough
to let the Soviet Union...
1:30:49
''...prepare for war
by completing their bomb.''
1:30:52
You were there as a member
of the Communist front group?
1:30:55
I was there as an American, with the right
to meet anybody, anyplace, anytime.
