Waldorf Statement
The Waldorf Statement was a two-page press release issued on November 25, 1947, by Eric Johnston, president of the Motion Picture Association of America, following a closed-door meeting by forty-eight motion picture company executives at New York City's Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. The Statement was a response to the contempt of Congress charges against the so-called "Hollywood Ten" and marks the over three hundred employees in the motion picture and related industries as Communists or Communist sympathizers (past or present).
