           "Perhaps the sacrifices that i:thel and Julius Rosenberg

made have caused enough people to stop and think to bring back sanity.

Fort Monmouth, the attack on Dr. Oppenheimer, and the Arniy-iicCarthy

hearings keep reopening again the questions vhich viere raised in our

trial.

           "The death of Ethel and Julie a year ago did not answer any

questions   My being buried in Alcatraz has not permitted these questions

to be swallowed up into oblivion.  There are people who love truth and

justice and who must have it themselves.  They cannot rest when it is

denied to others.

           "Perhaps we, together with theme people, have already made

those who put me here regret that they did not `nurder me too.  Neither

death nor Alcatraz will keep the truth hidden.  l have proved in these

last four years that l can never be pressured into giving up my freedom

from guilt.

           "They would so like me to stop sayir~ l am innocent.  1 will

not stop saying it, not ever.

              am innocent".
