House Committee on Un-American Activities (HCUA) It was in existence from 1934 till 1975, at which point its responsibilities were transferred to the House Judiciary Committee. In 1947, this committee held hearings about the influence of Communist propaganda on Hollywood.
The House of Representatives began its work investigating subversive activity by U.S. citizens in 1930 as the Fish Committee and in 1934 as the McCormack Committee. In 1938 the committee was revived as the Dies Committee (after the name of its chairman, Martin Dies, Jr., D-Texas) to investigate the activities of communist and fascist organizations on the home front. Despite the strong anticommunism of Chairman Dies, before and during World War II the committee concentrated on fascist organizations.
