Investigating the FBI
Files
Description
Investigating the FBI I based on a conference on the FBI held at Princeton University, October 29 and 30, 1971, sponsored by the Committee for Public Justice and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. This book contains edited versions of the papers presented at the conference and significant portions of the dialogue and panel discussions that occurred during the thirteen hours of conference time. The idea of a conference on the FBI was suggested by Professor H. H. Wilson of Princeton’s Politics Department, writing in the February 8, 1971, issue of The Nation. He communicated with Professor Norman Dorsen of the New York University Law School, a member of the Executive Council of the Committee for Public Justice (and now its Chairman). From there, the idea grew rapidly. In the following months, committee members and staff members of the Princeton faculty and others worked to bring some fifty lawyers, scholars, journalists and former government officials together for as thorough a study of the FBI as private citizens could hope to undertake. This book is one result of that effort.
