A Government Report Completely Ignored by Congress

A Government Report Completely Ignored by Congress

I want you to listen very carefully now as I read to you from an official government report. Can you imagine this kind of an official government report coming out and having it absolutely ignored by the Congress, the American people, the President and practically everybody else? Now listen to this:

1. The Soviet international organization has carried on a successful and important penetration of the United States Government and this penetration has not been fully exposed.

2. This penetration has extended from the lower ranks to top-level policy and operating positions in our Government. (This means the White House, the State Department, and the Department of Justice, etc.)

3. The agents of this penetration have operated in accordance with a distinct design fashioned by their Soviet superiors.

4. Members of this conspiracy helped to get each other into Government, helped each other to rise in Government and protected each other from exposure.

5. The general pattern of this penetration was first into agencies concerned with economic recovery, then to war-making agencies, then to agencies concerned with foreign policy and postwar planning, but always moving to the focal point of national concern.

6. In general, the Communists who infiltrated our Government worked behind the scenes -- guiding research and preparing memoranda on which basic American policies were set, writing speeches for Cabinet officers, influencing congressional investigations, drafting laws, manipulating administrative reorganizations -- always serving the interest of their Soviet superiors.

7. Thousands of diplomatic, political, military, scientific, and economic secrets of the United States have been stolen by Soviet agents in our Government and by other persons closely connected with the Communists.

8. Despite the fact that the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other security agencies had reported extensive information about this Communist penetration, little was done by the executive branch to interrupt the Soviet operatives in their ascent in Government until congressional committees brought forth to public light the facts of the conspiracy.

9. Powerful groups and individuals within the executive branch were at work obstructing and weakening the effort to eliminate Soviet agents from positions in Government.

10. Members of this conspiracy repeatedly swore to oaths denying Communist Party membership when seeking appointments, transfers, and promotions and these falsifications have, in virtually every case, gone unpunished.

11. The control that the American Communications Association, a Communist-directed union, maintains over communication lines vital to the national defense poses a threat to the security of this country.

12. Policies and programs laid down by members of this Soviet conspiracy are still in effect within our Government and constitute a continuing hazard to our national security.

How many of you have ever heard this before? That's the famous Jenner Report. (One person raised his hand.) That's the Jenner Report of 1953, completely ignored by the rest of the country. A few teachers taught this. Most of the students of that period were not only not informed that this was going on but were assured that the men in power were very anxious for our welfare and were leading us very gently and carefully toward world peace. Actually they were leading us very gently and carefully toward a complete amalgamation with the Soviet economy and political structure. A few students here and there got the message. But not very many. Question: where is that found?

This is the Jenner Report. I put it in The Naked Capitalist so that it would be readily available to you. It is now out of print but you can get copies of it from the Congressional Record. It was put in the Congressional Record. But I put it in The Naked Capitalist so you would have it available.

W. Cleon Skousen. Know the Truth to Stay Free. This speech was delivered at Brigham Young University during the 1971 Spring term to 180 students in Education 310, Section 5.
