- Description:
- The National Lawyers Guild is urging members of the House of Representatives to speak and vote against the citation of certain witnesses in the Hollywood investigation for contempt by the Committee on Un-American Activities. They argue that the Committee's actions are unconstitutional and are a form of intimidation based on hearsay and rumor. They believe that the abuse of Congressional power by the Committee is threatening the freedom of speech and association, and call for a halt to these actions.
