1、精品资料英语演讲:Have You No Sense of DecencyMcCarthy-Welch E_change: Have You No Sense of DecencyMcCarthy: (Mr.Chairman) .in view of Mr.Welchs request that the information be given once we know of anyone who might be performing any work for the munist Party, I think we should tell him that he has in his la
2、w firm a young man named Fisher whom he remended, incidentally, to do the work on this mittee, who has been, for a number of years, a member of an organization which is named, oh, years and years ago, as the legal bulwark of the munist Party, an organization which always springs to the defense of an
3、yone who dares to e_pose munists.Knowing that, Mr.Welch, I just felt that I had a duty to respond to your urgent request that before sundown, when we know of anyone serving the munist cause we let the agency know.Now, were now letting you know that your man did belong to this organization for either
4、 three or four years, belonged to it long after he was out of law school.And I have hesitated bringing that up, but I have been rather bored with your phony requests to Mr.Cohn here, that he, personally, get every munist out of Government before sundown.Whether you knew that he was a member of that
5、munist organization or not, I dont know.I assume you did not, Mr.Welch, because I get the impression that while you are quite an actor, you play for a laugh, I dont think you have any conception of the danger of the munist Party.I dont think you, yourself, would ever knowingly aid the munist cause.I
6、 think youre unknowingly aiding it when you try to burlesque this hearing in which were attempting to bring out the facts.Welch: Mr.Chairman.Mundt: The Chair may say that he has no recognition or no memory of Mr.Welch remending either Mr.Fisher or anybody else as counsel for this mittee.McCarthy: I
7、refer to the record, Mr.Chairman.to the news story on that.Welch: Mr.Chairman.Under these circumstances, I must myself have something approaching a personal privilege.Mundt: You may have, sir - Welch: Senator McCarthy, I did not know, Senator - Senator, sometimes you say may I have your attention -
8、McCarthy: Im listening.Welch: May I have your attention? McCarthy: I can listen with one ear and talk with -.Welch: No, this time, sir, I want you to listen with both.Senator McCarthy, I think until this moment - McCarthy: - Good.Just a minute.Jim, Jim, will you get the news story to the effect that
9、 this man belongs to the - to this munist front organization.Welch: I will tell you that he belonged to it.McCarthy: Jim, will you get the citation, one of the citations showing that this was the legal arm of the munist Party, and the length of time that he belonged, and the fact that he was remende
10、d by Mr.Welch.I think that should be in the record.Welch: Senator, you wont need anything in the record when I finish telling you this.Until this moment, Senator, I think I never really gauged your cruelty, or your recklessness.Fred Fisher is a young man who went to the Harvard Law School and came i
11、nto my firm and is starting what looks to be a brilliant career with us.When I decided to work for this mittee, I asked Jim St.Clair, who sits on my right, to be my first assistant.I said to Jim, Pick somebody in the firm to work under you that you would like. He chose Fred Fisher, and they came dow
12、n 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, I dont know anything about you, e_cept Ive always liked you, but if theres anything funny
13、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 Lawyers Guild, as you have suggested, Senator.He went on to say, I am Secretary of the Young Re
14、publicans League in Newton with the son of the Massachusetts governor, and I have the respect and admiration of my munity, and Im sure I have the respect and admiration of the twenty-five lawyers or so in Hale Dorr. And I said, Fred, I just dont think Im going to ask you to work on the case.If I do,
15、 one of these days that will e out, and go over national television, and it will just hurt like the dickens. And so, Senator, I asked him to go back to Boston.Little did I dream you could be so reckless and so cruel as to do an injury to that lad.It is, I regret to say, equally true that I fear he s
16、hall 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 Im a gentle man, but your forgiveness will have to e from someone other than me.McCarthy: Mr.Chairman, may I say that Mr.Welch talks about this being cruel and reckless.He
