REPLY FROM MAC ARTHUR TO COMMITTEE INVITATION Before we enter into the testimony of the witness this morning I should like to read into the record a letter I have received from Gen. Douglas MacArthur. I offer first for the record a copy of the letter that I addressed to General MacArthur. (The letter referred to is as follows:) General of the Army DOUGLAS MACARTHUR, New York, N. Y. JUNE 16, 1951. DEAR GENERAL MACARTHUR: The Senate Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on Foreign Relations are endeavoring to terminate as soon as possible the series of hearings which began with your appearance before the committees on May 3. As you were the first witness before the committees, the testimony presented by you during the first 3 days of the hearings was available to succeeding witnesses. You had no knowledge of the testimony of the succeeding witnesses at the time of your appearance before the committees. I am sure that the committees will feel that you should be afforded an opportunity to again appear before the committees to present any rebuttal testimony that you may think desirable. If you wish to appear before the committees again, I shall appreciate your advising me of your decision as promptly as possible. With assurances of esteem, I am, Sincerely, RICHARD B. RUSSELL. |
