Then that committee will be an arm of the Department of Justice. to help the Department of Justice. in order to find out who in this country is advocating the overthrow of government. or who are "fifth columnists." I have taken the trouble to analyze the socalled Dies ninepoint program. but the funny thing about this report is that it has been filed in January and not one single bill was presented to any committee to carry out the socalled program which the Dies committee claims is so necessary in this country. They simply use the Dies committee as a means of investigating something which they have no power over. In the sixth recommendation of the report they deal exclusively with the quota phase of immigration. That has nothing to do with unAmerican activities at all. It has no bearing on unAmerican activities. it has no bearing on "fifth column" activities. but the Dies committee wants to do something indirectly that it cannot do directly.
