From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Communist Control Act was a piece of United States federal legislation, signed into law by Dwight Eisenhower on 24 August 1954, which outlawed the Communist Party of the United States and criminalized membership in, or support for, the Party.

It amended the Subversive Activities Control Act, and prohibited communists from being an official of any labor organization.
