		Under this resolution, records of the United States Senate are open for research when they either 20 or 50 years old, depending on such factors as the security-classification of the records and the type and nature of personal information they contain.
		The purpose of this chapter is to discuss certain trends in modern Senate records, to summarize the current total holdings for the post-1969 period, and to highlight some of the special holdings of Record Group 46.
		Her interaction with Senate offices has had and continues to have a significant positive impact on the organization and condition of the records transferred in the past half-dozen years.

	Red Scare Truth
		Senator Pat McCarran (D-Nevada), head of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Internal Security Subcommittee, initiated an investigation of the administrations of Presidents Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman to search for communist infiltration.
		McCarran's subcommittee held hearings on "loss" of China from July '51 to June '52, using files of the Institute of Pacific Relations seized by the subcommittee from Edward Carter's barn in Lee, Massachusetts, in Feb. 1951.
		The senator was apparently too powerful to be indicted even though he clearly committed perjury when, despite wiretap evidence to the contrary, he repeatedly swore he had never dealt with mobster Bugsy Siegel.

		The Internal Security Act of 1950, somtimes called the McCarran Act or the anticommunist law, is one of the most controversial and least understood laws in the history of the republic.
		The Internal Security Act, popularly named for Nevada's Senator Pat McCarran, an aging hack who, in fact, commandeered the legislation from an earlier version by congressmen Karl Mundt and (of all people) Richard Nixon argued for the fingerprinting and registration of all "subversives" at large in the United States.
		It was under the glare of that subcommittee's 1954 probe of the Army that Tailgunner Joe would finally crash and burn.

	AIM Report - April A 1979
		Senator Kennedy killed the last remnant of the once potent Senate Internal Security Subcommittee when he took over the reins of the Judiciary Committee from Senator Eastland of Mississippi, who had retired.
		Senator Eastland's criticism of media indifference to the serious problem of internal security was fully borne out by the treatment the news media gave to the final report of the Internal Security Unit and to the throttling of the unit by Senator Kennedy.
		Senator McCarthy had said at the outset that the objective of the hearing was to find out how someone with a record of Communist connections could have gotten a job in the Pentagon code room.

	Testimony of John McLaughlin
		I believe that Lee Harvey Oswald was quite possibly an agent of the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee and he was doing the bidding of Dodd and Eastland and Morris.
		I don't know if your jurisdiction also extends into this area of things like the American Security Council and the Liberty Lobby, and Council for National Policy, unfortunately which are primarily private agencies, but have full-time active employees of the government also involved.
		I believe that is as complete and as short a summary as I could possibly make of a 70-page document, and I just want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to appear before you and say something.

	Washington Gone Crazy by Michael Ybarra
		The son of illiterate Irish immigrants, McCarran was born in 1876 in Nevada, where he grew up to be a sheepherder who taught himself the law around the campfire, becoming a legendary defense attorney and judge.
		He created the most far-reaching anti-sedition law ever enacted in America (the McCarran Internal Security Act), which filled Ellis Island with immigrants alleged to be subversives and set up concentration camps to hold suspected traitors in the case of a national emergency.
		McCarran’s Senate Internal Security Subcommittee cowed the State Department into sacrificing the careers of diplomats accused of helping the Communists take over China.

		In the 1960s, when the Kennedy/Johnson crowd took over, Otepka's refusal to clear appointees who were obvious security risks (some with communist connections), suddenly landed him in the doghouse with then Secretary of State Dean Rusk.
		Their old security jobs no longer existed because Rusk "knew he would run the supreme risk that they would discover many more security risks who had doubtless received clearances in the last five years since he cleaned house."
		His Senate confirmation came only after the bitter, mean-spirited opposition of left-wing Democrats running interference for their people.

	WorldNetDaily: The dirty deeds of Joe McCarthy
		It has now gotten to the point where, if someone discovered that McCarthy was especially fond of cream of tomato soup, learned professors would be quoted in the media to the effect that cream of tomato soup has recently been shown to encourage vicious behavior on the part of those who consume it.
		The most recent example of this sort of thinking accompanied the release of the transcripts of some 161 "executive sessions" of McCarthy's Senate committee from 1953 and 1954, in which the committee heard testimony from various people suspected of membership in the Communist Party.
		In 1956 and 1957, I was associate counsel to the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee — not McCarthy's committee (a subcommittee of the Government Operations Committee, and thus confined to investigating the government), but the body charged by the Senate with oversight of the nation's internal security.

		In addition, other key components of our national security have been emasculated or diverted from what should be their primary objectives.
		What America must do instead is rebuild the constitutional, multilayered internal security structures at federal, state, and local levels.

		Under a measure approved Thursday by the U.S. Senate, the new office would target such pre-1970 racially motivated homicides that remain unsolved because of lax state and federal prosecution at the time they occurred.

	America's Monuments to Paranoia Built with Fearless Press' Silence
		The fear birthed the national security state, reducing the Bill of Rights to an occasional luxury of the few, the pruned, the moneyed.
		When even the nation's most important newspaper dares not question the assumptions at the root of the day's frenzies (anti-communism then, anti-terrorism now), we shouldn't be surprised when government turns the frenzy's focus on the media, as it did then and as it does now.
		In December 1955 and January 1956, the Internal Security Subcommittee, chaired by Sen. James Eastland of Mississippi, held an inquiry "into possible Communist infiltration of newspapers, radio, television and other communications media," as The New York Times reported, interviewing dozens of Times employees along the way.

		Nor was it true that "[t]he California Senate sub-committee termed SLATE as an organization for young Communists." SUAC specifically said the contrary, though it did add that SLATE "has become Communist-dominated" without explaining what that meant.
		None of the people I knew in SLATE were ever identified as Communists in the California Senate reports, Tocsin, or the mainstream newspaper stories to which the FBI leaked information, though a couple were the children of former Communists.

	William F. Buckley Jr. on Cold War on National Review Online
		As the speaker, I defended the work of that Committee and of the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee, argued with the proposition that the word “un-American” was indecipherable, and took on several of the Committee’s critics, notably Professor Arthur Schlesinger Jr., the noted historian, and James Wechsler, then the editor of the New York Post.
		Internally, however, the argument of numbers does not really satisfy the Wechslers or the Joseph L. Rauhs or the Arthur Schlesingers.
		The liberals, ladies and gentlemen, are, and let us never forget it, in control of events; so that — like bears on Wall Street — they have the raw power to justify their own predictions and their own analyses.
