I didn't forget. It was 1944 when he joined that he was told that some
communists were trying to infiltrate the organization. Reagan instituted
loyalty oaths and secret blackball lists to try to keep communists from
joining the organization or being employed in Hollywood. This is why I
chose Reagan as such a perfect example that not everybody associated with
that organization was a communist.
