Correct error in member calculation based upon dues income in 1964
''"'''At its peak in 1964, the Society claimed to have hundreds of chapters throughout the country, 100,000 members...'''"''
''"'''At its peak in 1964, the Society claimed to have hundreds of chapters throughout the country, 100,000 members...'''"''
According to the Birch Society's CPA firm (Spark, Mann and Company), dues income from JBS members during 1964 amounted to: '''$536,566'''. Since men paid $24 year and women paid $12 year, we can use an $18 average to calculate that the JBS had approximately 44,713 members in 1964.

Even if '''ALL''' JBS members during 1964 were women paying $12 annually (in order to maximize the number of members), the total would be only '''44,713'''!
(3) With respect to "'''''subversive infiltration of the United States'''"'' -- it should be kept in mind that every major official of the Birch Society during the 1960's emphatically declared that former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover was our nation's most knowledgeable, reliable, and authoritative source of fact-based information about the Communist movement in the United States AND about what constituted effective anti-Communist activities. For example, see the October 1966 issue of the JBS magazine, ''American Opinion'', for its article entitled "'''The Wisdom and Warning of J. Edgar Hoover"'''.
