- The document is a series of resolutions from the United Public Workers of America, affiliated with the Congress of Industrial Organizations, urging Representative Helen Gahagan Douglas to take action against loyalty purges and the House Un-American Activities Committee. The resolutions call for the abolition of loyalty checks that violate constitutional rights, withdrawal of Executive Orders related to loyalty checks, and the abolishment of the House Un-American Activities Committee. The resolutions also demand freedom for those victimized by the committee and urge President Truman and Attorney General Clark to cease cooperating with it.
