Mr. President, for the benefit of those Members of the Sen- ate who were not present earlier in the evening. I have given detailed records of certain individuals in the Btate De- Pertment who have very definite com- munistic connections. JI explained to the Senate earlier in the gvening that I would not take the time to make out a court case against eacheperson referred to. Iam pointing out facts so that there may be a convening of one of the appro- Ppriste commitiees to make a thorough investigation. As I explained earlier, there is a serious question whether I should disclose hames to the Senate. I frankly feel. in view of the number of cases—there are 81 cases—that it would be a mistake tA! publicly disclose the names on the fisor.

Will the Benator be Kind enough, if he thinks tt advisable, to give us from time to time, as he goes through the cases, information as to the type of work or the type of responsibility with which the individual is charged? . McCARTHY. I can say to the Benator that it would be extremely difii- ¢ cult to do that, because all the records ave been able to secure that much in- @ are completely secret except what I could get from loyal State Department employees. I can tell in a great number of cases what particular branch the in- dividuals are working in, whether in Re- . March and Intelligence, or in other activ- ities. Incidentally, Research and In- telligence is a favorite office for fellow travelers to get into. A short time ago I elted the case of one individual who succeeded in going from Research and CIA. in ool th He a Witil CLA Tetalliraman tn au VOMIT today. One of the principal cases is Case No. €1. It deals with one of the top officials in OIE, the Voice of America, and I shail reach that shortly. Referring again to the previous case, the individual is still either working in this branch of the State Depertment, or has succeeded in trans- ferring to some other agency having to do with information. All these individuals try to get into some branch having to do with information or research.
