| Harry S. Truman seated at a desk, says "it was possible the number of atomic bombs we had might not bring the complete surrender of all the Japanese troops . . . but it was better to have an agreement with them because we no longer felt we had to kowtow to the Russians in negotiating. We had the strength, and in my opinion, we ought to use it – and we did." |
