A 1959 Senate committee questions ex-AEC Chairman, Lewis Strauss, over his actions during Robert Oppenheimer's security hearing, when a revoked Q-clearance ended Oppenheimer's government advisory role. Strauss, who is nominated for Commerce Secretary, alleges the FBI was suspicious of Oppenheimer since his teaching days, well before anti-Communist William Borden accused him of espionage in 1954. He claims to not have acted against Oppenheimer, despite having many public disagreements with him.
