EXTENSION OF REMARKS
OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA
IN THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, January 10,
1963
Mr. HERLONG. Mr.
Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate
opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which
she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism
in America.
At Mrs. Nordman's
request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following
"Current Communist Goals," which she identifies as an excerpt from
"The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen:
[From "The Naked
Communist," by Cleon Skousen]
CURRENT COMMUNIST
GOALS
1. U.S. acceptance of
coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to
capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the
illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration
of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade
between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of
whether or not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of
long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6. Provide American
aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition
of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8. Set up East and
West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to
settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the
conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend
tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet
satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N.
as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be
set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some
Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as
by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now
doing in the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt
to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all
loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving
Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or
both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical
decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their
activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts
for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get
control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots
to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under
Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review
assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion
pictures.
22. Continue
discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An
American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from
parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."
23. Control art
critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness,
repulsive, meaningless art."
24. Eliminate all laws
governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of
free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting
pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as
"normal, natural, healthy."
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with
"social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual
maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the
schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of
church and state."
29. Discredit the
American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with
modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the
American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no
concern for the "common man."
31. Belittle all forms
of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the
ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more
emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any
socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the
culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics,
etc.
33. Eliminate all laws
or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the
House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and
eventually dismantle the FBI.
36. Infiltrate and
gain control of more unions.
37. Infiltrate and
gain control of big business.
38. Transfer some of
the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral
problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand
[or treat].
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health
laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist
goals.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity
and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative
influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of
children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the
impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the
American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up
and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social
problems.
43. Overthrow all
colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44. Internationalize
the Panama Canal.
45. Repeal the
Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from
seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court
jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.
Note by Webmaster: The
Congressional Record back this far has not be digitized and posted on the
Internet.
It will probably be
available at your nearest library that is a federal repository. Call
them and ask them.
Your college library
is probably a repository. This is an excellent source of government records.
Another source are your
Congress Critters. They should be more than happy to help you in this matter.
