and other records, including clippings, articles, speeches,

appropriations for
McCarthy's investigating subcommittee and the censure resolution.
JWF responses
are generally routine. Other noted subjects are the Dixon-Yates
proposal and the
Bricker Amendment. Correspondents include: Philip C[aryl] Jessup,
Walter Johnson,
and Walter Lippmann. See also BCNs 87 and 88 in the first
