11、essness. fred fisher is a young man who went to the harvard law school and came into my firm and is starting what looks to be a brilliant career with us. when i decided to work for this committee, i asked jim st. clair, who sits on my right, to be my first assistant. i said to jim, pick somebody in

12、the firm to work under you that you would like. he chose fred fisher, and they came down on an afternoon plane. that night, when we had taken a little stab at trying to see what the case is about, fred fisher and jim st. clair and i went to dinner together. i then said to these two young men, boys,

13、i don t know anything about you, except i ve always liked you, but if there s anything funny in the life of either one of you that would hurt anybody in this case, you speak up quick. and fred fisher said, mr. welch, when i was in the law school, and for a period of months after, i belonged to the l

16、 reckless and so cruel as to do an injury to that lad. it is, i regret to say, equally true that i fear he shall always bear a scar needlessly inflicted by you. if it were in my power to forgive you for your reckless cruelty, i would do so. i like to think i m a gentle man, but your forgiveness will

17、 have to come from someone other than me. mccarthy: mr. chairman, may i say that mr. welch talks about this being cruel and reckless. he was just baiting. he has been baiting mr. cohn here for hours, requesting that mr. cohn before sundown get out of any department of the government anyone who is se

18、rving the communist cause. now, i just give this man s record and i want to say, mr. welch, that it had been labeled long before he became a member, as early as 1944 - welch: senator, may we not drop this? we know he belonged to the lawyers guild. mccarthy: let me finish. welch: and mr. cohn nods hi
