Mr. Speaker. the Joint AntiFascist Refugee Committee is a voluntary organization. unincorporated. Prior to the time that the Committee on UnAmerican Activities launched this investigation into the activities of this organization. we had received some 8.000 written communications requesting that it be done. We first went into the matter of determining who had control of this organization and what character of activities it was carrying on. We found it is one of the approximately 240.000 individuils and organizations that have obtained a certificate from the Treasury Department which exempts from income tax any contributions that are made to such organization.
