Senate probes Army civil surveillance during 1960s dissent
A Senate constitutional rights subcommittee condemned the Army’s expansive monitoring of civilian political activity during the 1960s unrest. Chairman Sam J. Ervin Jr. announced a bill to ban all monitoring by military agents, noting 1971 guidance did not prevent abuse or ensure proper lawfulness. The report links surveillance to ghetto riots and mass demonstrations of the era.
