Summary
| Description |
English: In the early 1970s, the US government conducted surveillance on ex-Beatle John Lennon. This is a letter from FBI director J. Edgar Hoover to the Attorney General. After a 25-year Freedom of Information Act Request battle initiated by historian Jon Wiener, the files were released. Here is one page from the file. This second release received by Wiener showed almost all of the text -- on an earlier version, portions of the text had been blacked out presumably with magic marker -- or what is termed "redacted". Another version of this file (but with more portions redacted) was received by Wiener earlier. |
