In the course of updating the citations to Schoenherr to use a new url HERE I realized the source is inadequate. It seems to be Schoenherr's blog, and the text we now have in place looks like a copyright violation. The source text reads:
"Truman's Executive Order 9835 establishing the Federal Employee Loyalty Program - FBI would make a name check on 2 million federal employees in 1948 plus approx. 500,000 new applicants each year (4.5 million name checks made 1948-58) - if "derogatory information" found, a full field investigation made and results given to 150 loyalty boards (27000 such field investigations were made 1948-58) - employee could be fired if "reasonable doubt" of loyalty was established by 6 categories:crimes, violent overthrow, breach of official duty or disclosure of confidential information, or membership in or association with any subversive organization - no appeal beyond loyalty boards - no permission to confront a "confidential informant" - 5000 voluntary resignations resulted from investigations before hearings conducted for great variety of reasons - only 378 employees were dismissed or denied employment by boards and none of these were spies. - Truman issued another executive order to keep these investigation files confidential and not disclosed to Congress".
I've therefore replaced the Schoennherr citation with "citation needed". And I'll do some rewriting to avoid direct copyright violation. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 17:49, 22 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
