Remember Galileo! Truman's stand coincided with a gathering revolt of U.S. scientists. An important array of them feared that a U.S. policy based on illusions of secrecy might destroy the kind of free research which had made atomic fission possible. Even the sort of control recommended by the President would inevitably touch fields of research far beyond the military uses of the atom.
