Congressman Samuel Dickstein is reported as having made the following statement:
“It has been some time now since the so-called Jewish leadership sought to hamper me in my work but I cannot be deterred from doing my duty.”
Congressman Dickstein would have done well if he named the Jewish leaders who sought to hamper the work of the Congressional Investigation Committee. Otherwise his statement is vague and misleading.
