| Harry S. Truman is standing before a screen that shows a photograph of Senator Arthur Vandenberg. Mr. Truman tells a story from when he was a Senator, of coming into the Senate and Arthur Vandenberg telling him that Admiral Land was to be reappointed to a post and the Senate was giving him a rough time. Senator Truman asked to speak, and told the Senators that his committee (the Truman Committee, the Committee to Investigate the National Defense) had investigated Admiral Land and he was all right and ought to be appointed. Senator Vandenberg said if the chairman of the committee that was investigating national defense said Land was all right, then he should be confirmed unanimously (and he was). |
