Thhye castiudin of (he Lares; going Fooiminalocy constituted a! misrppre entation of Lhe true fools to the ciate. We find that in making his speech) on February 20, 1950, which accagioned the passage of Benate Resolution 231, Senator McCarthy left the unmistakable inferegce that he had but recent- ly obtained from unrevealed sources in the State Department the information which he was presenting to ‘tim te. Our investigugjon establishes that the material presented in this speech was data Geveloped in 1947 by the Republican - controlled Sih Congress; and that repre- sentations indicating it had re- cently come from “loyal State Department employés misled and deceived the Senate. We find that the information presented to the Senate on Feb- ruary 20, 1956, by Senator Me- Carthy, concerning “81" individ- uals identified by him only by numbers, was a colored and dis- torted version of material de- veloped by investigators of the House Appropriations Committee in 1947 during the 801h Congress. Senate Was Deceived. ~~ To the extent that the informa- tion was colored and distorted and the source thereof concealed, the Senate was deceived, We find that four separate com- mittees of the 80th Congress, controlled by Senator McCarthy's ..bwn party, formally considered the id?

His connections with the Institute of Pacific Relations do not in any way reflect unfavorably ‘upon him when the true character of the organization is revealed. Of the many thousands of dollars re- ceived by the institute as contri- butions, only a few thousand dol- lars are shown to have come from Communist contributors.
