SUBJECT: The Congressional Record
Pages 14581- Congressman Davis, (D) Georgia, spoke concerning recent
14585 decisions of the Supreme Court. He made reference to
atated "What the Supreme Court has said in this long
chain of decisions imolving Communists and matters of
national security is in effect that Congress over a
period of O years, that the lower trial and supreme
courts of the several States, that State legislatures
and investigating committees, the Federal and State
prosecutors, that the FBI and all over Government
security agencies, that the Subversive Activities
Control Board and Federal Loyalty Review Boards,
that State bar examiners and other State and muni-
cipal boards of education, as well as literally
— thousands of experts on communism, including for-
mer members of the Communist conspiracy, who publi-
cly testified under oath, all were wrong..eeA handful
of six or seven Supreme Court justices have set aside
and declared null'‘and void all the iabor and the vast
ot sum total of knowWledge, study, and experience of liter-
( ally thousands of legislators, FBI experts, am other
authorities. The very audacity of this assumption of
sole knowledge and wisdom is stunning and shocking."
