By lifting certain sentences out of context it is said that I implied the possibility that the former president of the United States had been disloyal. I intended no such inference to be drawn. It is a blunt fact from which there is no escape that in the teeth of the November 8th warning from the FBI the developing evidence indicated a substantial spy ring operating within the government and involving Harry Dexter White...President Truman on January 23, 1946 then publicly announced his nomination of Harry Dexter White for appointment to the International Monetary Fund. I just don't understand this. It still seems completely incredible to me"/ cutaways to people in hearing / MS Brownell rises / VS people in hearing / FBI Director J Edgar Hoover being sworn in / CU Hoover / Hoover gives statement: "Seven communications went to the White House from the FBI bearing on espionage activities wherein Harry Dexter White's name was specifically mentioned. At no time was the FBI party to an agreement to promote Harry Dexter White and at no time did the FBI give its approval to such an agreement..." / LS Hoover rises / WS people in hearing room with camera light / closing: Paramount News cameraman turns camera toward viewer, "The Eyes and Ears of the World...The End..Paramount News" superimposed over camera/ Title card: "Distributed by Sherman Grinberg Film Library Inc."
