Elmer Thomas is seeking information on the legislative history of the atomic bomb and recalls a secretive meeting during the war with Senator Barkley, Secretary of War Stimson, scientists, and other senators. He asks Senator Walsh to provide a statement on what transpired at the meeting, as it would be valuable for compiling information on the subject.
