Not Conscious of Any Act

Nearing Insubordination Sen. Hickenlooper—I would like to ask you whether or not at any time you received any communication from any official superior either suggesting that you might be guilty of insubordination or suggesting that any course of action of yours might be considered insubordination. Gen. MacArthur I hadn't the faintest idea of it. 1 am not conscious of having even tread close to any such thing.
