Excerpt from Annual Report of the Committee on Un-American Activities: For the Year 1949 The committee believes that espionage is one of the most deadly weapons in the hands of the American Communists at the present time. Investigations during previous years indicated that the Communists resorted extensively to this activity, regardless of the relations between the Soviet Union and the United States.
