Page 85 discussed the Independent Progressive Party that he had registered to (later cancelled). According to the "Senate Fact-Finding Committee on Un-American Activities" the party was being run by the same people who ran the Communist Party. It also noted that a few people who joined it (and it seems this is where they categorized Feynman) were liberals who were dissatisfied with the two party system and had no Communist leanings.
