House Un-American Activities Committee

Congressional committee, established in 1938 as the Special Committee to Investigate Un-American Activities under the chairmanship of Martin Dies. Noted for its public investigation of alleged subversion, particularly of communists, it was renamed the House Internal Security Committee in 1969. It achieved its greatest notoriety during the 1950s through its hearings on communism in the movie industry. It was abolished in 1975.
