CC RESOLUTION 1969RESOLUTION NO. 1969
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA URGING
ADOPTION OF LAWS PROHIBITING ANY PERSON
WHO SUBSCRIBES TO COMMUNISM TO ENROLL
IN TAX SUPPORTED INSTITUTIONS ABOVE HIGH
SCHOOL LEVEL.
WHEREAS, the insidious influences of Communism per-
sistently are bearing down on our American -way of life as an inten-
tional attack upon the latter's continued success, and in support of
such unfriendliness, are calling upon the American public for the maxi-
mum legal protection, assistance and financial support; and
WHEREAS, there is a too apparent passive acquiescence
of the American public in this outrageous situation whereby Anti-
Americanism is supported by those who are the victims of these sub-
versive groups; and
WHEREAS, these Anti - Americanism groups who promote
lawlessness, mob rule, and the flaunting of orderly processings of
law and government at the expense of the American people, in some
instances through the media of tax supported institutions, should be
denied all the advantages, among which are the proselyting and spread-
ing of doctrines of force, directed to the overthrow of our Government.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Coun-
cil of the City of El Segundo strongly urges the Legislators of the State
of California to pass laws which will make it a criminal offense for any
person who subscribes to Communism, or any other organization that
advocates the overthrow of the United States Government by force, or
advocates mob rule, to enroll in any tax supported institution of learn-
ing above high school level.
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing is a full, true, and
correct copy of a resolution adopted by the City Council of the City of
El Segundo, California at its meeting held July 10, 1961.
