FBI ends 22 year congressmen checkup program
FBI director L Patrick Gray ordered an end to a 22 year practice of collecting biographical data on congressmen and candidates. He said the program was not essential to FBI operations and could be misread as investigating lawmakers. He noted no full investigations had been conducted, despite files kept since 1950 from newspapers and campaigns. A Cleveland case showed an agent inquiring about John Ryan's background, but Gray said such inquiries were unauthorized. The agency will terminate the routine data gathering and review the agent's actions.
