`JUDY HOLLIDAY'S SWORN STATEMENT`

This is a 2-page statement from Judy declaring her beliefs and principles. Though the purpose of the statement is to rebuke communism, the opening few paragraphs seem to be aimed more at the people conducting the Communist witch hunts. Her statements that she is "against censorship" and "the curtailment of civil liberties" come across just as forcefully as her deplorement of communism and other "isms." The inferred "ism" would seem to be McCarthyism.

This signed statement was originally attached to her 4-page explanation of the charges against her. The explanation appears as separate document elsewhere in the FBI section of this site.
