Eisenhower backs idea to fix legal loopholes from Jencks ruling
President Eisenhower indicated support for legislation to plug loopholes created by the Supreme Court Jencks decision opening FBI files to defendants in certain criminal cases. Senate and House bills seek to limit production of FBI documents at trial judges' discretion. Attorney General Brownell called the approach constructive and aimed at remedying problems while the FBI warned it might drop prosecutions to protect confidential sources.
