Rights

A federal record of the United States Senate. Public domain in the United States. 17 U.S.C. § 105. The National Archives catalog lists Access: Unrestricted and Use: Unrestricted.

The National Archives catalog title is “Press Releases of the Special Committee to Investigate Organized Crime in Interstate Commerce from the 81st and 82nd Congresses.” The file unit belongs to the committee’s own records, held by the Center for Legislative Archives in the Records of the U.S. Senate (Record Group 46), in the series “Records Relating to Public Relations (NAID 579671).”

The catalog’s scope note, paraphrased: mimeographed press releases on staff appointments, public hearings, witnesses, contempt citations and warrant requests; includes a March 4, 1951 release by Senator Wiley on a National Crime Commission and a press conference held in San Francisco on November 21-22, 1950. The catalog shows no digitized pages for this file unit, so this page describes the catalog entry only and does not describe any document inside it.

The dates given are the life of the committee, the 81st and 82nd Congresses, as the title states; the catalog gives no narrower date. Reading the file would need a reading-room visit or a reproduction order from the National Archives.
