Screen Gems Collection (outtakes from the television series "Decision: The Conflicts of Harry S. Truman")

Former President Harry S. Truman recalls the problem of refugees discussed at the Potsdam Conference. He also reads from a letter he wrote to his mother and sister about the vote on the UN Charter and his experiences with Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin at the conference. NOTE: Mr. Truman uses a racial slur in this video. The out takes both repeat from different camera angles. Sound and picture.
