Recording of a July 30, 1950, speech by Senator McCarthy in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, including criticism of the "Milwaukee Journal" and comments on communists in the U.S. government (Tape 1262A, Reel 1-2); a recorded discussion between McCarthy and Senator George W. Malone (R-Nev.), circa May 1951, broadcast over a Nevada radio station, during which McCarthy defends his statement made the previous day that he had the names of 57 communists in the State Dept. (Disc 129A and Tape 1262, Reel 3); a recording of a memorial service, May 1, 1966, at Appleton, Wisconsin, on the ninth anniversary of McCarthy's death, including an address by Peter Wheeler Reiss, Sheboygan, Wisconsin (Tape 410A); and a recording, March 1953, of the testimony of William M. Mandel before the investigating committee of Senator Joseph R. McCarthy (Tape 1466A). An authority on the Soviet Union and a member of the Communist Party from to 1957, Mandel's testimony was notable for his vigorous defiance of McCarthy. Although subsequently blacklisted, Mandel had a long career as a broadcaster for KPFA. This cassette copy of the testimony was presented to Marcus Raskin of the Institute for Policy Studies on April 16, 1986, with the note "thanks for asking."
