McCarthy-Welch Exchange: "Have You No Sense of

Decency"

McCarthy: (Mr. Chairman) ...in view of Mr. Welch's

request that the information be given once we know of

anyone who might be performing any work for the Communist

Party, I think we should tell him that he has in his law

firm a young man named Fisher whom he recommended,

incidentally, to do the work on this Committee, 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 Communist Party, an organization which

always springs to the defense of anyone who dares to

expose Communists.

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 Communist

cause we let the agency know. Now, we're now letting you

know that your man did belong to this organization for

either 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

Communist out of Government before sundown. Whether you

knew that he was a member of that Communist organization

or not, I don't 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 don't think you have any

conception of the danger of the Communist Party. I don't

think you, yourself, would ever knowingly aid the

Communist cause. I think you're unknowingly aiding it

when you try to burlesque this hearing in which we're

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 recommending either Mr. Fisher

or anybody else as counsel for this Committee.

McCarthy: I 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 --

McCarthy: I'm 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 this man

belongs to the -- to this Communist 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

Communist Party, and the length of time that he belonged,

and the fact that he was recommended by Mr. Welch. I

think that should be in the record....

Welch: Senator, you won't 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 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 the firm to
