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 committ
