DECISION
THEATER 2
Spies
in Government:
How Far Do You Go To Find Them?
The
second of the two Decision Theaters is located in the midst
of the exhibits describing heightened Cold War tensions in
America during President Truman's second term. This decision
theater focuses on President Truman's decision to establish
a federal loyalty program. Though this program was established
in 1947, it was in operation throughout the rest of his presidency.
Titled
"Spies in Government: How far do you go to find them?",
it focuses on Truman's decision to establish a federal loyalty
program in 1947.
The theater
features a sound and light program in a setting that resembles
a congressional hearing room or loyalty review interrogation
room.
A disembodied
voice asks visitors a series of questions concerning the conflict
between personal privacy/freedom of speech, and the needs
of national security. Visitors answer questions by registering
their opinions on keypads.
