IN the course of preparing our article upon the Federal Loyalty Orderthe authors wrote to Mr. Hoover and requested him to furnish allavailable materials relating to the methods employed by the FBI inmaking investigations under the loyalty program. Mr. Hoover suppliedus with certain materials, primarily his press statement publishedin the New York Herald-Tribune on November 16, 1947.
