THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON July 24, 1950 MEMORANDUM FOR THE FILES Subject: Hoey Sex Pervert Investigation. Mr. Flanagan, Counsel of the Hoey Subcommittee, called me last Friday, July 21, 1950, to give me a progress report on the investigation so far. He said that they had held a number of executive sessions, and that there had been no objection so far from the minority to the entire hearings being held in executive sessions. Up-to-date they have heard security officers from a number of agencies, in- cluding military. They expect to hear medical witnesses next. He also said that the Subcommittee was sending out a questionnaire to all principal agencies asking them a series of questions about what their procedures were for dealing with homo- sexual problems and how they operated. Flanagan said he would keep me further advised as to how things go along. S.J.S. S.J.S.
