According to The Muckraker website in March 2011:
:Add big-name Republican lawyers Joseph diGenova and Victoria Toensing to the list of Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) supporters in Washington D.C.
:On behalf of the Iranian-American Community of North Texas, diGenova and Toensing's firm has registered to lobby for the removal of the MEK, an Iranian opposition group, from the State Department's Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) list, and for the protection of the 3,400 MEK members who currently live at Camp Ashraf, in Iraq, where they have been subject to attacks and other privations.
:"The government can produce no evidence to one act of violence post 2003," Toensing said in an interview with TPM. "The delisting considerations are supposed to be every five years. There is no factual basis to maintain them on the FTO."
:Toensing added that "whatever happened prior to 2003" is in dispute, but "even if you accept them" the list's own rules support the delisting argument.
:"Under the statutory construct, that means they should be taken off the list," she said. Eric Lach, Big-Name GOP Lawyers Lobbying To Remove MEK From Terror List, The Muckraker, March 7, 2011 (accessed 8 March 2011)

Astor was at the centre of an informal intelligence network known as "the Room" or "the Club", which worked with British intelligence and President Roosevelt in the spring of 1940.Thomas E. Mahl, Desperate Deception, Brassey's 1999, p.171. 
During World War Two, Astor served as intelligence co-ordinator for New York, with special responsibility for severing financial connections with the Axis powers.Eric Thomas Chester, Covert Network: Progressives, the International Rescue Committee and the CIA, M.E. Sharpe, 1995, p.106.
Astor was one of a number of people enlisted by William Stephenson to push for William Donovan's appointment as Roosevelt's intelligence co-ordinator.Thomas E. Mahl, Desperate Deception, Brassey's 1999, p.19. Roosevelt briefly considered appointing Astor himself to the job.Eric Thomas Chester, Covert Network: Progressives, the International Rescue Committee and the CIA, M.E. Sharpe, 1995, p.106.
On 9 May 1941, Astor sent Roosevelt a clipping from the New York Herald Tribune calling for the US to appoint an intelligence co-ordinator. The article by George Fielding Elliott was probably a British intelligence plant.Thomas E. Mahl, Desperate Deception, Brassey's 1999, p.20. 
At a New York fundraiser in the autumn of 1951 for the International Rescue Committee (IRC), Vadim Makaroff denounced the IRC as a "Marxist front-outfit", leading Astor to announce he would withhold his contribution, driving the organisation to the brink of financial collapse. Makaroff had access to Astor through Serge Obolensky, a prominent Russian monarchist and supporter of Makaroff's Tolstoy Foundation who had been married to Astor's sister.Eric Thomas Chester, Covert Network: Progressives, the International Rescue Committee and the CIA, M.E. Sharpe, 1995, p.105. 
IRC board member Adolf Berle subsequently wrote to Astor pointing out that William Donovan was on the board of directors and that the organisation had the support of General Walter Bedell Smith (who had recently been appointed CIA director. Astor remained unconvinced despite subsequent meetings with Berle and David Martin.Eric Thomas Chester, Covert Network: Progressives, the International Rescue Committee and the CIA, M.E.
