EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S.
HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA IN THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES Thursday, January 10, 1963
Rep. HERLONG: Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman
of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent
of communism, and until recently published the De
Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of
alerting the public to the dangers of communism in
America. At Mrs. Nordman's request, I include in the
RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following
"Current Communist Goals" — which she identifies
as an excerpt from "The Naked Communist," by Cleon
Skousen: [From "The Naked Communist," by Cleon
Skousen] 1.
1. The Naked Communist is a 1958 book by American political theorist W. Cleon Skousen, a former FBI
employee.[1][2] The book has been reprinted several times, most recently in a 2014 printing through Izzard
Ink Publishing, and it has sold more than 1 million copies.[3]
The main subject of the book is an articulated Communist plot to overcome and control all of the
world's governments that are not members of the Communist bloc through the implementation of social
progressivism and by undermining American foreign policy through the promotion of internationalism and
pacifism. The early chapters of the book cover the philosophy of Marxist and Soviet Communism as well as
some of the history of Communist power in various countries including the USSR and Cuba.
