Reel 1

0:00   Harry S. Truman’s voice: “We’ve recorded the history of the decision to resist aggression in Korea, and I hope I’ve answered some of the key questions involved in that decision. However, there is as yet no peace in Korea, only a truce, and the future of that unhappy country remains unsolved. I sincerely hope that the Koreans can come out of their troubles and that the republic will be set up the way the United Nations intended it to be for I sincerely hope that happens; we’ll be in trouble if it doesn’t.”
