Biographical details

Congressional Record, in the United States House of Representatives by Congressman Charles H. Wilson Sun Myung Moon in Congressional Record (1976)

Unfortunately, there are always those who would take advantage of the American system, people who would take advantage of our laws safeguarding civil rights, and our laws insuring religious freedom. Such a person, in my estimation, is the Reverend Moon, who not only preaches a strange brand of hocus-pocus all his own, but who also seems to profit by it himself enormously while his converts, our youngsters, are begging for him in the streets.

In all, there were 17 young men and women, many of whom would pledge at the end of their indoctrination period to abandon their pasts and dedicate their lives to the Rev. Moon.
In this oppressive yellow room they would be brain-washed to believe in Rev. Moon’s “Divine Principle.” They would come to accept him as a Prophet of God . . . “as the only person who can pull our crumbling world together.”
Many would end up back on the streets begging money for Moon’s multimillion-dollar organization, as many Moonies spend their days doing.

Speaker, on this occasion I should like to say a few words, and introduce into the RECORD some material regarding the controversial religious leader, the Reverend Sun Myung Moon, a man who has induced thousands of our young people to join his cult.
America, as it has been said many times before, is a land of opportunity and many of the people from other lands who have come here have worked hard, earned their rewards, become good citizens and have, in fact, made this country the shining example of democracy and opportunity that it is today.
