APPENDIX AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION The FBr has never conducted an investigation or the. American Civil Liberties Union. It is noted that the Fifth Report of the California Senate Fact-Finding Committee on Un-American Activities (1g49) notes the following: "American Civil Liberties Union: Cited as heavily infiltrated with Communists and fellow travelers and frequently following the Communist Party line and defending Communists, particularly in its Los Angeles unit. (California Committee on Un-American Activities Report, 1948, pages 108-12)" In connection with the foregoing citation the following is noted: In January, l955, an official of the California Senate Fact-Finding Committee on Un-American Activities advised that a representative of the American Civil Liberties Union contacted the Committee to discuss the above citation. At that time this individual advised that Angeles had been expelled because of their pro-Communist sympathies. On May 27, 1955, a representative of the California Senate Fact-Finding Committee on Un-American Activities advised that the status of~the American Civil Liberties Union, insofar changed and that the Committee's past characterizations of the American Civil Liberties Union remain the same.. In connection with the above, it is noted that the. 34th Annual Report of the American Civil Liberties Union (for the year 1954) re-affirms the ant1-Communist and anti-Fascist policy of the American Civil Liberties Union and maintains also that it will defend the civil liberties of all persons regardless of any political party, organization, denomination, race or nationality to which a person may belong.
