| 0:00 | Harry S. Truman, seated at a desk, speaks. | |
| Man with clipboard says "scene 10, take 2." | ||
| Mr. Truman is reading from a script and keeps consulting it for his lines. He is talking about being a member of the United States Senate for 10 years, the most satisfying time of his political life. He recounts the story of how the whip told him, Harry, you’ll sit here for six months and wonder how you got here. Then you'll wonder how the rest of us got here. | ||
