The '''Civil Rights Congress''' was cited as [[subversive]] and [[Communist]] by President [[Harry S. Truman]]'s Attorney General [[Thomas Clark]] in lists furnished to the Loyalty Review Board and released to the press by the U.S. Civil Service Commission on December 4 1947 and September 21 1948. In the [[House UnAmerican Activities]] Report on the CivilRights Congress, it was cited as an organization formed in April 1946 as a merger of two other Communist-front organizations, the [[International Labor Defense]] (ILD) and the National [[Federation for Constitutional Liberties]] (NFCL); "dedicated no to the broader issues of civil liberties, but specicially to the defense of individual Communists and the Communist Party" and "controlled by individuals who are either members of the Communist Party or openly loyal to it." The organization was redesignated on April 27 1953 the the U.S. Attorney General pursuant to Executive Order N. 10450.
