CIA Abuses Power Confirmed by Rockefeller Commission
The Rockefeller Commission finds the CIA guilty of spying on Americans and abusing its powers. It urges constant Congressional scrutiny and an outside watchdog, detailing files on tens of thousands, illegal mail openings, phone tapping, surveillance, and a death linked to LSD experiments. Many dissidents are named, including Hayakawa and Hesburgh, with blame placed on Presidents Johnson and Nixon for pressure to expand domestic intelligence. The report notes a yearlong surveillance inside a suspect’s home and other intrusions.
