lawrence had since had a falling out with oppenheimer over the h bomb, over the creation of livermore and other issues. lawrence is on the way to the hearing. he stops off at a laboratory director's meeting in oak ridge. he's confronted there by robby and other laboratory directors. he is told pretty much no uncertain terms that the hearing is, of course, going on at this time. if he, lawrence, testifies against oppenheimer, he will become a pariah in the scientific community. and what is worse from lawrence's point of view is that the lab will also be ostracized. and that is what would have hurt lawrence. ever since the fight over livermore he was suffering from a severe colitis attack. he calls up straws and says he's fots goi not going to testify after all. he can't be persuaded. he goes back home. that is only one other scientists of international stature to testify against oppenheimer and that is edward tellerment i won't get into the details here. teller has always claimed he was going to testify for oppenheimer except 15 minutes before he took the stand, he was sharing the test
