Reposting for new eyes. WTF happened to this?
August 24, 1954 - President Eisenhower Upon Signing the
Communist Control Act of 1954
I HAVE TODAY signed S. 3706, An Act to make illegal the Communist Party and to prohibit members of Communist organizations from serving in certain representative capacities.
The American people are determined to protect themselves and their institutions against any organization in their midst which,
purporting to be a political party within the normally accepted meaning, is actually a conspiracy dedicated to the violent overthrow of our entire form of government

I have already approved a bill requiring "Communist-Action" or “Communist-Front" organizations, which must register under the Internal Security Act…

Note: As enacted, S. 3706 is Public Law 637, 83d Congress (68 Stat. 775).

FRONT Groups
In 1935, with the rise of Nazism, the Comintern changed its policy and adopted the Popular Front tactic, which allowed the CPUSA to pose as the anti-fascist defenders of American liberalism. … it simultaneously allowed the Party to infiltrate a whole host of liberal institutions and use them as front groups.
