	HUAC - Uncyclopedia
		HUAC was formed after an unfortunate application of past tense forced the previous body, the Dies Committee (1938-1945), to become the Dead Committee.
		HUAC was made a standing committee in 1946, although its members were known to cheat and actually sit down a good deal of the time.
		HUAC was dissolved in 1975 when the ideal of un-Americanism had spread sufficiently to render it redundant.

	Congressional Committees and Unfriendly Witnesses--by Ellen Schrecker
		HUAC was one of the network's main repositories, and, unlike the FBI, it shared its files openly with members of Congress and their constituents.
		When HUAC intensified its anti-Communist investigations in the early years of the cold war, it was by no means clear that it had the constitutional right to question people about their political beliefs and activities.
		Most of the justices disapproved of HUAC's heavy-handed tactics, but, as Justice Robert Jackson explained in 1949, they felt "it would be an unwarranted act of judicial usurpation to strip Congress of its investigatory power or to assume for the courts the function of supervising congressional committees." In short, HUAC had a free hand.

	HUAC (The House Un-American Activities Committee) and the Rise of Anti-Communism
		HUAC heard ten writers and directors who were to be known as the Hollywood Ten.
		Where HUAC before 1945 had not really been a very respected part of the state apparatus, making several unsubstantiated accusations on people who had never been members or involved with the Communist party, it had changed and now only went after people which it could prove had been in contact with Communists and their party.
		In August, 1947 Newsweek ran a long article on the new hearings of HUAC and stated that unlike the Dies Committee HUAC would not be ridiculed because "this time it counted on sympathetic press and a public wiser in the ways of Kremlin." (Newsweek, August 25, 1947, p.

	HUAC
		The Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) was originally established in 1937 under the chairmanship of Martin Dies.
		The main objective of the HUAC was the investigation of un-American and subversive activities.
		The HUAC and the courts during appeals disagreed and all were found guilty of contempt of congress and each was sentenced to between six and twelve months in prison.

	HUAC
		In particular, critics of HUAC have charged that its actual objective was to destroy the Communist Party and enable the Committee members to benefit from the national publicity accompanying the testimony of celebrities.
		Thus another effect of the HUAC hearings was the public humiliation of prominent liberals before a Committee comprised largely of right-wing conservatives.
		Evidence suggests that in having witnesses name their associates in Communist-supported activities HUAC was intentionally trying to create a fllist by introducing the names into the public record.

		HUAC was established in 1937 under Martin Dies, an anti-communist who investigated un-American and subversive activities.
		In 1947, HUAC under the leadership of J. Parnell Thomas began multiple investigations into Communist infiltration of organized labor, federal government, and Hollywood Motion Picture Industry.
		Since Hollywood was a high profile industry and HUAC believed that movies, films, etc. were displaying secret or pro-Communist messages, Hollywood became one of the main targets.

		What angered them most of all was that HUAC had obtained membership lists of student anti-war groups by serving the administrations of Berkeley, Stanford, and the University of Michigan with subpoenas.
		The critics also fear that HUAC may wait until the summer to issue the subpoena when students would not be present to protest.
		If the court decided that Harvard had the ability to comply, then it would have to decide whether or not a HUAC subpoena was a violation of the freedoms of speech and association.

		Parnell Thomas of New Jersey, the HUAC held hearings on Communist influence in the film industry, which resulted in the imprisonment of a group of actors and writers known as the Hollywood Ten.
		The HUAC became less active in the 1960s; its name was changed to the Committee on Internal Security in 1969, and it was abolished in 1975

		Historians have long known that the Congressmen who composed HUAC were most often publicity seeking clowns, and that much of their investigations backfired.
		Comparing the new release of HUAC material to that of the release of the Venona papers the former top secret Soviet decrypts released by the CIA and NSA Perlstein writes that "this unsealing may have lacked the ceremony of the first.
		He writes that the new "behindthescenes HUAC records will be far more revealing, and damning, than the hearing transcripts and official reports we already have." Perhaps Perlstein is a futurist fortuneteller, and not a historian.

		HUAC obtained excerpts from the letter, and in its report on Condon quoted the sections that seemed the most damning.
		Some of Condon's defenders had attacked HUAC on the grounds of basic fairness because of the committee's continued failure to grant Condon a hearing in which he could respond to the charges against him.
		With HR 522 as political cover, HUAC attempted to shift the blame to the Truman administration by asking what it had to hide and contending that if the president would only hand over HUAC's main source of evidence against Condon, the committee would be happy to give Condon an open hearing.

	Hanns Eisler: Life: Eisler in the McCarthy Era
		Eisler—living in Malibu, California, and supporting himself by writing film scores for Hollywood studios—was the first target of HUAC's probe of alleged Communist subversion in the motion picture industry and the first victim of the notorious "fllist" that eventually ruined the careers of thousands of directors, screenwriters, artists and academics.
		HUAC was therefore determined establish a connection between Gerhart Eisler (as the alleged wirepuller of American Communism) and leftists in the Hollywood movie industry.
		Brecht—also the target of FBI and HUAC investigations—despised the cultural scene in the United States and was probably grateful for an excuse to return to Europe.

		Records of the House of Representatives investigative committee that proceeded HUAC - the Select Committee on Un-American Activities (the so-called Dies Committee (1938-1944)) - have been open to the public for sometime.
		With these records, for the first time, historians will be able to get a much clearer picture of the internal workings of America's own 20th century inquisition." The NCCPH is a national coalition of historical and archival organizations that filed the request that resulted in opening the records.
		The July 26, 2001, letter received by the NCCPH and signed by Jeff Trandahl, Clerk of the House (whose office is charged by Congress to maintain custodial care of the HUAC records), states that public access to these records will be governed by Rule VII of the House of Representatives (http://clerkweb.house.gov/107/docs/rules/rule_7.html).

	House Un-American Activities Committee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC or HCUA) (1938–1975) was an investigative committee of the United States House of Representatives.
		A significant step for HUAC was its investigation of the charges of espionage brought against Alger Hiss in 1948.
		HUAC lost considerable prestige after it subpoenaed Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffman of the Yippies in 1967, and again in the aftermath of the 1968 Democratic National Convention.

	The New York Review of Books: HUAC
		Those who believe that HUAC should be abolished (and both The New York Review and I took pains to identify me as one such) are not qualified to review a book on HUAC which does not call for its abolition.
		HUAC "stands in the history of the House of Representatives," he concluded, "as an example of what an investigating committee should not be"—Ogden, The Dies Committee (1945), pp.
		All of this is very relevant to an appraisal of HUAC whether the ultimate judgment is to abolish it or to perpetuate it.

		HUAC was supposed to investigate "un-American propaganda" in the United States.

		The later investigations of Hollywood that HUAC began in 1951 might be interpreted as a reaction to the anti-Communist furor raised by McCarthy, but he had no influence on the 1947 hearings at which Rand testified.

	Elia Kazan: director, HUAC informer dead at 94 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Kazan, the director of 19 feature films between 1945 and 1976, was one of the most prominent figures to turn informer during the anticommunist witch-hunts of the early 1950s.
		Kazan’s decision to collaborate with the HUAC inquisitors epitomized the devil’s bargain into which a significant section of the filmmaking community and the American liberal intelligentsia as a whole entered during this period.
		The witch-hunt began in earnest in the film industry in October 1947 when HUAC held a series of hearings on the subject of “subversives” in the film industry.

		Among people in the 1950s to be questioned by HUAC were the director Elia Kazan, Arthur Miller, and Lillian Hellman.
		There is also a description of how people perceived the "Red Menace", and how today’s Hollywood deal with the hearings and the people who did or did not testify some 45 years ago.

		The congressmen involved in HUAC initiated the investigation to stifle the civil right group’s use of federal intervention for the movement.
		The congressmen who initiated HUAC’s investigation of SNCC in 1966 based their efforts upon a threat of federal civil rights legislation and not a threat of communism.
		A 1966 SNCC background memo indicated that HUAC’s 1966 vice-chairman and chairman, Representative William Tuck of Virginia and Representative Edwin Willis of Louisiana, had long opposed the federal government’s drive toward desegregation.

	House Un-American Activities Committee
		The House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) was created in 1938 to investigate alleged disloyalty and subversive activities on the part of private citizens, public employees, and those organizations suspected of having Communist ties.
		Reorganized from its previous incarnations as the Fish Committee and the McCormack-Dickstein Committee and with a new chairman, the cantankerous Martin Dies of Texas, HUAC's strident attacks on the Roosevelt administration prior to the outbreak of the war did not suit the political mood of a nation that was largely in favor of FDR's leadership.
		The work of the committee continued to decline in importance throughout the late 1950s and early 1960s until the committee itself was renamed the House Internal Security Committee in 1969, prefiguring its eventual abolition in 1975.
