| 0:00 | Harry S. Truman standing before a screen, on which there is a picture of him presiding over the Senate. He is talking about the Senate, and answering off-screen questions. He says "every word you say goes into the record and you have to be careful about what you say." He describes presiding over the Senate, and talks about the gavel, a little piece of ivory. It is a wonder someone hasn't put it in their pocket and taken it home, but they never did. |
