McCarthy Accused of Misusing Confidential FBI Material
Morse charged McCarthy with unlawfully obtaining and using confidential FBI information from executive files. The so called 214 page FBI letter reportedly cited security risks at Fort Monmouth New Jersey. J Edgar Hoover denied sending the letter while confirming excerpts from a longer FBI report. Independence Missouri former President Truman said he had no recollection of giving Morse any top secret document during the 1952 campaign. Truman expressed confidence in Morse but no memory of the document. Knowland sought Senate record notes as to whether the document remained classified and whether steps were taken toward espionage prosecutions. He cited an assistant attorney general’s remark that classification was under military considerations and questioned whether declassification nullified espionage law implications.
