Excerpt from Interlocking Subversion in Government Departments: Report of the Subcommittee to Investigate the Administration of the Internal Security Act and Other Internal Security Laws to the Committee on the Judiciary, United States Senate, Eighty-Third Congress, First Session on Interlocking Subversion in Governme On April 10, 1953, the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee commenced a series of hearings on interlocking subversion in Government. Chairman William E. Jenner (Republican, Indiana) opened the hearings with this statement: The Senate Internal Security Subcommittee, under the authority conferred on it by the United States Senate to investigate the extent, nature, and effects of subversive activities in the United States, during the past 3 years has been uncovering evidence of extensive Communist penetration in Government. The subcommittee has been impressed by the extent to which the Communists it has exposed were able to move, often with great facility, from one Government agency to another, spinning their web of intrigue and drawing with them in positions of power and influence their confederates and auxiliaries. The purpose of this series of hearings will be to determine the existence of and to expose the design by which Communist agents were able to infiltrate the executive and legislative branches of government. The subcommittee expects that these hearings will aid it in recommending legislation to prevent further infiltration, and to discover methods and individuals that the Communist International organization may still be employing today. The subcommittee undertakes this investigation primarily with the view to preventing further infiltration and not to hold up to the pillory past misdeeds. But the past is prologue. The subcommittee hopes that all persons with knowledge of this penetration will assist the subcommittee in its purpose (p. 1). The subcommittee had several purposes foremost in mind in conducting these hearings. It noted that literally scores of agents had penetrated the United States Government, and in its report on the Institute of Pacific Relations showed how some of these were responsible for extensive perversion of policy that consequently caused the loss of thousands of American lives and injury to the interests of the United States. It noted that except in a few cases, all of these agents, despite the record of their subversion, had escaped punishment and some, in positions of influence, continued to flourish even after their exposure. The Past Is Prologue The subcommittee has made public for the first time a section of a secret memorandum on espionage in our Government, one paragraph of which had been quoted by Vice President Richard Nixon, then a Congressman, in a 1950 speech. He made known at that time that the document, dated November 25, 1945, was prepared by an intelligence agency of this Government, and was circulated among several key Government agencies and made available to the President of the United States.
