Albert Einstein sits in his study at 112 Mercer Street, pipe in hand, listening closely as chemist Harold C. Urey reads a written statement signed by numerous atomic scientists. The text outlines researchers' responsibility for having enabled the atomic bomb and calls for international control of nuclear energy. Einstein nods in agreement; also present at the gathering was Leo Szilard, co-author of the 1939 warning letter to President Roosevelt. The footage dates from 1946, made in connection with the Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists chaired by Einstein.
