Two men sit at a desk in an office; one in civilian attire speaks to a man in military uniform. The transcript indicates the civilian is asking the general about his views on the Korean War.

“General Marshall, few of us possess your extensive background from which to draw when evaluating military affairs.” 24:34 · “In the light of your experience,” 24:41 automatic transcript, may be wrong

The record

US Government work The record names a federal body as the creating agency. A work prepared by an officer or employee of the United States Government as part of that person's official duties has no US copyright (17 U.S.C. 105; before 1978, section 8 of the 1909 Act). This says nothing about copyright outside the United States, or about music, stock footage or other material the film may incorporate. Evidence dossier. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
