[1] In August 1951, the journalist William A. Reuben began writing articles concerning the trial of the Rosenbergs.
When readers began sending money in, he and his friends formed their committee "in my Manhattan apartment" in October 1951.
They used the monies to publish the trial record with Reuben's National Guardian articles in pamphlet form.

It picketed the Manhattan federal courthouse each year near the execution date, ending in 1992 with Judge Irving Kaufman's death.
