The Chevalier Incident<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After World War II, Oppenheimer was often targeted by his political enemies for his past connections to communism. According to Bird and Sherwin, the animosity toward him culminated in December 1953, when he learned that the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) intended to revoke his security clearance. The Eisenhower administration decided to conduct a hearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bird and Sherwin contend that, in addition to underhanded tricks, the prosecution relied heavily on Oppenheimer\u2019s testimony about the \u201cChevalier incident,\u201d a conversation between Oppenheimer and Haakon Chevalier, his close friend and fellow Berkeley faculty member, in late 1942.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Months later, in August 1943, Oppenheimer first gave an account of this conversation to Colonel Boris Pash. Oppenheimer told Pash that he and two other scientists had been approached by an intermediary (later revealed as Chevalier) who was friends with George Eltenton, a physicist with connections to the Soviet Union. Per Oppenheimer\u2019s testimony, this intermediary told Oppenheimer and the other scientists that Eltenton hoped to relay information about the Manhattan Project<\/a> to the Soviets, a suggestion Oppenheimer immediately called treasonous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: According to historian Vincent C. Jones, although Pash was shocked that Oppenheimer had waited so long to disclose the conversation with Chevalier, he nonetheless believed that Oppenheimer was loyal to the US<\/a>. For this reason, Pash recommended that Oppenheimer continue directing the Manhattan Project with the caveat that Oppenheimer be monitored by US intelligence agents.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later, in June 1946, FBI agents simultaneously interviewed Eltenton and Chevalier about Chevalier\u2019s discussion with Oppenheimer in 1943, giving them no time to coordinate their answers. They both corroborated Oppenheimer\u2019s previous account, with one glaring exception: They both denied having approached two other scientists, as Oppenheimer claimed. Later, in September 1946, FBI agents interviewed Oppenheimer himself, who admitted to fabricating elements of his original account to protect Chevalier\u2019s identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Though Oppenheimer allegedly attempted to protect Chevalier, Chevalier later became a victim of the US anti-communist movement nonetheless; Chevalier lost his job at Berkeley in 1950<\/a> because of his communist sympathies, and he would ultimately leave the US to live in France until his death in 1985.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bird and Sherwin point out that, in the 1954 hearing, Oppenheimer\u2019s prior false testimony proved damning. <\/strong>Robb compelled Oppenheimer to admit to the AEC\u2019s panel that he had lied to the FBI and waited eight months to disclose a conversation of crucial security information. Moreover, in the heat of the examination, Robb induced Oppenheimer to call himself \u201can idiot\u201d who told \u201ca whole fabrication and tissue of lies.\u201d This testimony, Bird and Sherwin argue, greatly discredited Oppenheimer in the eyes of the panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: According to Harold Green, the AEC\u2019s legal adviser during the hearing, Robb\u2019s cross-examination represented a key shift in the nature of AEC security hearings. He alleges that, prior to the Oppenheimer hearing, AEC hearings functioned largely to clear <\/em>individuals accused of being a security risk<\/a>. Robb\u2019s harsh cross-examinations and entrapment tactics, however, showed that this hearing sought instead to prosecute and humiliate its defendant.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In May 1954, the panel voted two to one to revoke Oppenheimer\u2019s security clearance<\/strong>, deeming Oppenheimer a security risk (though affirming his loyalty to the US). The next month, AEC commissioners ratified the decision in a four-to-one vote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
