EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, January 10, 1963
Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker,
Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and
articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land
Courier,which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the
dangers of communism in America. At Mrs. Nordman's request, I include in the
RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following "Current Communist
Goals," which she identifies as an excerpt from "The Naked
Communist," by Cleon Skousen: [From "The Naked Communist," by
Cleon Skousen]
CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to
atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging
in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the
United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of
Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for
war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet
satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of
Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to
the U.N.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite
of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections
under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the
United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in
progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in
the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its
charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with
its own independent armed forces.(Some Communist leaders believe the world can
be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers
compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the
United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic
American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission
belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum.
Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against
programs or organizations whichare under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review
assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion
pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all
forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to
"eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute
shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums.
"Our plan is to promote ugliness,repulsive, meaningless art."
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them
"censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting
pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as
"normal, natural, healthy."
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion
with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need
for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in
the schools on the groundthat it violates the principle of "separation of
church and state."
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it
inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to
cooperation between nations on a world-wide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as
selfish aristocrats who hadno concern for the "common man."
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage
the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of
the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the
Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized
control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare
programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with
the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to
social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which
no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental
health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose
Communist goals.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage
promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the
negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and
retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are
legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and
special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to
solve economic, political or social problems.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native
populations are ready for self-government.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States
cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems.
Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.
Note by Webmaster: The Congressional Record back this far
has not been digitized and posted on the Internet. It will probably be
available at your nearest library that is a federal repository. Call them and
ask them. Your college library is probably a repository. This is an excellent
source of government records. Another source are your Congress Critters. They
should be more than happy to help you in this matter. You will find the Ten
Planks of the Communist Manifesto interesting at this point. Click here to see
them listed with brain-challenging comments.

Stalin knew the vulnerable underbelly of America is the good
heart of her people, which could be used against her to subvert the very
principles upon which she is founded.
That bishop who gave his life as a witness to the Catholic Faith was John Cardinal Fisher, Bishop of Rochester. He shed his blood for the Church because he could not, in conscience, support the King's claim to supreme leadership of the Church on Earth. Fisher knew quite well that the Lord Jesus had given that role to Blessed Peter the Apostle, and to Peter's successors as Bishop of Rome. The King gave Fisher two choices: either violate your conscience and live, or remain faithful to it and die a gruesome death. Instead of doing what was easy (indeed, what EVERY OTHER BISHOP IN THE REALM did), Fisher chose Christ before Caesar, and went peacefully to his death on the scaffold in the Tower of London on 22 June 1535. He was canonized by Pope Pius XI in 1935, 400 years after his death.
