Statement by President Eisenhower Upon Signing the Communist Control Act of 1954
August 24, 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…
The new law which I am signing today includes one of the many recommendations… to support existing statutes in defeating the Communist conspiracy in this country.
I signed a bill granting immunity from prosecution to certain suspected persons in order to aid in obtaining the conviction of subversives…
The Congress has passed a bill providing for the loss of citizenship by those advocating the overthrow of our government by force and violence.
In carrying out the Administration's recommendation that
any citizen who knowingly and actively participates in the Communist conspiracy to overthrow the government by force and violence should be regarded as renouncing his allegiance to the United States and forfeiting his right to citizenship
The foregoing bill also includes a provision for the death penalty for persons found guilty of peacetime espionage
I have already approved a bill requiring "Communist-Action" or “Communist-Front" organizations, which must register under the Internal Security Act…
In order to provide aggressive administration and enforcement of the foregoing measures, I have already strengthened the mechanism for carrying out more effectively our entire anti-Communist program —by the creation of the Division of Internal Security in the Department of Justice— …
Note: As enacted, S. 3706 is Public Law 637, 83d Congress (68 Stat. 775).
