FBI tied to 238 burglaries of domestic subversives
Senate Intelligence Committee heard that the FBI conducted at least 238 illegal break ins on a group of 14 domestic subversive targets from 1942 to 1968 and kept records in secret files. A second group faced numerous unlawful entries from 1952 to 1966, with no precise total. The panel also learned of expanded campus surveillance in fall 1970 and Hoover’s memo permitting field offices to recruit student informers aged 18, aiming to build thousands of new cases on SDS and black student unions.
