Chairman Ichord of the House Committee on...
Representative Richard Ichord (D-MO) at podium for press conference regarding The House Committee on Un-American Activities and the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Ichord is surrounded by microphones and reporters. Off-screen male reporter asks Ichord, “You've been at it a week at taxpayers' expense. What have you accomplished, in your mind?” Ichord says, “The hearings have been very fruitful. More than 80 organizations participated in the Chicago disturbances; that there were 10 major organizations; that there were Communists and various subversives involved in these organizations; and that many of the people did have connections with foreign communist power.” Off-screen male reporter asks if he is going to issue contempt citations. Ichord states that punishment is for the courts and not the committee. “It is the purpose of the House Committee on Un-American Activities, as I construe it, to investigate the facts, find out the nature and extent of subversion and intelligently inform the Congress of those facts so that we can legislate to protect ourselves from subversion and still retain the Constitutional liberties which we all cherish so much." Middle-aged adult Caucasian male reporter asks if anyone was in contempt. Ichord replies, “I would say, as a lawyer, yes. During these hearings, the Chair has been extremely lenient. I think there have been many instances of contempt, that there is a prima facie case of contempt. But as I stated before, that's not the purpose of the House Committee on Un-American Activities. We are just gathering the facts.”
