"Unmasking the Civil Rights Bill" pamphlet, circa 1964
Scope and Contents
A pamphlet written by William Loeb and John J. Synon and published by the Coordinating Committee for Fundamental American Freedoms, titled "Unmasking the Civil Rights Bill: The Dissenting Views of Hon. E. E. Willis, M.C., Hon. E. L. Forrester, M.C., Hon. Wm. M. Tuck, M.C., Hon. Robert T. Ashmore, M.C., Hon. John Dowdy, M.C., Hon. Basil L. Whitener, M.C., Members of the House Committee on the Judiciary." The pamphlet indicates that it was written as a series of questions and answers, and that the answers are the exact words of the dissenting House Judiciary Committee members as taken from their written opinion. The pamphlet stokes fears of penalties and jail time for readers, impaired civil and property rights, and frames it as a harsh and vicious, unconstitutional bill that was railroaded through Congress.
