SUBCOMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE INTERNAL SECURITY ACT AND OTHER INTERNAL SECURITY LAWS

ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1956

SECTION I

SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES

HIGHLIGHTS OF 1956

During the legislative session of 1956 the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee set out to learn the underlying facts of Soviet penetration of the United States. It did this to fulfill its function of informing the Congress of facts and circumstances in its field that should support intelligent legislation. Laws now in existence are becoming outmoded. The shifting disguises of Communist penetration are becoming more deceptive and require that legislation now enacted be streamlined and be adjusted to changing maneuvers. Some laws now on the books may no longer apply. Others should be strengthened. Therefore a public record of the existing situation must be hewn.

In the area of facts and conditions to be scrutinized, it must be borne in mind that congressional committees, by their very nature, should not be confined to analyzing activities that are now criminal or proscribed by law. Determination of whether laws have been violated is principally a function of the prosecuting agencies beginning with the Attorney General and the United States attorneys throughout the land. It is for the legislative committees to analyze all forces and factors that are injuring or undermining the well-being of the Nation, and if necessary to make illegal, or criminal, acts which may now be within the law. In this respect congressional committees must operate in an area where acts may be harmful but not yet criminal. Therefore, they must stay well ahead of the executive agencies and the prosecuting agencies in their endeavors.

In order to know the nature of the Soviet penetration of this country, it is necessary to know something of the strength of Soviet power throughout the world. The Communist movement here is a threat principally because it is an extension of Soviet strength within our borders. If it were an indigenous menace it would have an entirely different nature. A Communist or a Soviet agent becomes formidable because he represents Soviet power and has behind him the full force and resources of that mighty empire. The fluctuations then of the international machinery must be known to understand fully the individual's capacity.

During 1956 there were two broad tendencies in Soviet development throughout the world. Soviet power was considerably extended particularly in the Middle East. The elections in France, Greece, Iceland, Indonesia, and Ceylon reflected considerable accretions in Communist
