McCarran was an ardent [[anti-Communist]] along with [[Republican]] [[Joseph McCarthy]]; as chair of the [[United States Senate Subcommittee on Internal Security]], known as the ''[[McCarran Committee]]'', which focused on [[national security]] against [[espionage]] and [[sabotage]] attempts. He was the sponsor of the [[McCarran Act]] that required [[communist]] organizations in the U.S. to register with the [[Attorney General]] established guidelines for investigating those suspected of subversive activities. McCarran was a strong supporter of McCarthy who would have adamantly opposed the censure against the Wisconsin senator and convinced fellow Democrats to join him, but died less than a few months later at the age of 78 before the vote.
