Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Special Senate Investigation on Charges and Countercharges Involving: Secretary of the Army Robert T. Stevens, John G. Adams, H. Struve Hensel and Senator Joe McCarthy, Roy M. Cohn, and Francis P. Carr, Vol. 1: Hearings Before the Special Subcommittee on Investigations of the Committee on Government Operations, United States Senate, Eighty-Third Congress, Second Session, Pursuant to S. Res. 189; March 16 and April 22, 1954
This committee meeting was called at the request of Senator Potter to go into the subject of the matter of our chief counsel and legal counsel for the Army, Mr. Adams. I am inclined to think that I should not sit as chairman during any of the discussions of this, because I frankly have been going into this for months, and I have made up my mind, and I am convinced that Cohn exerted no pressure to get any special consideration; and I am convinced that Adams, with perhaps no evil intent at all, tried to pressure both the staff and the chairman out of continuing the investigation of subversives in the Army.
I think the committee may consider me a necessary Witness if you decide to hold hearings on this, and for that reason, if there are no objections, I Will appoint the next senior Republican as the acting chairman during any consideration of the cohn-adams matter. Is that agreeable to everybody?
