Mr. Miller. That is it.
Mr. Moulder. But during that period of time you certainly must have been well versed and qualified to know the purposes and the policies of the Communist Party as such, because at those meetings didn’t you study the Communist Party literature and study the purposes for which it was organized?
Mr. Miller. Is that the question?
Mr. Moulder. Yes.
Mr. Miller. Yes, I did.
Mr. Moulder. Has your opinion now changed with respect to the Communist Party from what it was when you were attending the Communist Party meetings? Or is it the same as it was then?
Mr. Miller. I see what you are driving at, and it is hard for me to get my understanding across.
Mr. Moulder. You say you have severed your association with the party, and I want to know if it is just a technical disassociation or is it a clean break from the Communist Party?
Mr. Miller. No; it is not a technical disassociation. If I might have a moment, I would like to go on a little further.
First, the reference is to having attended, say, up to 40 meetings, one way or the other, and being aware of the goal of the Communist Party. I would have to say this in all honesty: During the time I was a member of the Communist Party I at no time was aware of their desire to do anything which was contrary to the best interests of the people. Now it could conceivably be that I was not aware, perhaps naive.
