Abstract
Negating the Communist Party's statutory obligation to disclose information inculpatory to its members on the basis of the fifth amendment privilege against self-incrimination, the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit adopted a theory of fifth amendment applicability for first amendment groups. An examination of fifth amendment policies supporting this result provides a rationale for granting protection against compelled self-incrimination to all individuals in organizational roles.
