HUAC was the House Un-American Activities Committee.
HUAC, the House Un-american Activities Committee, was supposed to protect America from subversion. In practice, it conducted ill-conceived witch-hunts and accomplished nothing useful.
The HUAC was used to find citizens in United States with Nazi ties. It was established in 1938 under the leadership of Martin Dies. The House Judiciary Committee was transferred the functions of HUAC on the abolishment of HUAC in 1975.
