When Robb asked Teller whether he wanted to suggest that Oppenheimer was disloyal to the United States, Teller answered quickly, “I do not want to suggest anything of the kind. I know Oppenheimer as an intellectually most alert and a very complicated person, and I think it would be presumptuous and wrong on my part if I would try in any way to analyze his motives. But I have always assumed, and I now assume that he is loyal to the United States. I believe this and I shall continue to believe it until I see very conclusive proof to the opposite.”
