Journal
Office of Legislative Counsel
Monday - 21 April 1952
1. Discussed with Lawrence Meloy, Executive Secretary of
the Loyalty Review Board, the question as to whether the replies to
interrogatories in Loyalty Board cases should be sworn to, and the
general question of perjury in Loyalty Board proceedings. While the
LRB has issued no directive, it feels that it would be preferable if
replies to charges and interrogatories were notarized and any testi-
mony be taken under oath. This would facilitate any perjury prose-
cution by the Department of Justice. Witnesses before a Loyalty
Board can be sworn by the Chairman of the Board under the statutory
authority of the head of an agency to take testimony under oath in
investigative proceedings, according to Mr. Melby.
2. In accordance with the instruction from DDCI, I have made
corrections in the Committee copy of Mr. Dulles' testimony before the
House Foreign Affairs Committee on March 5, 1952.
3. I informed Mr. Wilson of Sen. Knowland's office (and STATINTL
subsequently Mr. Gleason of Sen. Nixon's office) that
STATINTL___~ Q had
mad subsequently telephoned Mr. Carey to ask him to i
nore the
g
letter. We indicated, however, that we are informing that
while we are ignoring the letter, we trust that he is also informing its
other recipients to ignore it likewise.
