When the investigation began, the committee faced the necessity to define the term "[[un-American]]." According to chief investigator Dodd:<ref name=interview/>
{{cquote|...in that report, I specifically, number one, defined what was to us by the phrase un-American. And we defined that in our way as being a determination to affect changes in the country by unconstitutional means. We have plenty of constitutional procedures assuming that we wish to affect change in the form of government or that sort of thing. And therefore in that direction which did not reveal itself of the procedures which were authorized by the Constitution could be justifiably called un-American.}}
