Abstract: This collection consists of Attorney Byron Scott's case files relating to his defense of William Henry Taylor during two hearings before the International Organization Employees Loyalty Board (IOELB) between 1953 and 1955. Taylor, an employee of the International Monetary Fund and former Economist for the U.S. Treasury, was accused by Elizabeth Bentley, a former communist, of being involved in a Soviet espionage ring. When the first hearing resulted in a determination by the Board that expressed doubt as to Taylor's loyalty to the U.S., Scott was granted a request for a new hearing. The second hearing, which ended in 1955, resulted in a successful reversal of the Board's initial determination. The case files included in this collection document both of Taylor's hearings before the IOELB, with more extensive material relating to the second.
