Army Snoop Testifies on Civilian Spying Network
Former Army agent John M. O'Brien testified before the Senate subcommittee that the military monitored civilian officials including Adlai Stevenson III and Abner Mikva. He described files on hundreds of people and groups, including antiwar events and the MLK funeral, and noted FBI reports within Stevenson’s file. Mikva condemned the officers and urged criminal penalties and removals for those involved. O'Brien recalled a Stevenson picnic entry and a large ACLU file labeled Communist.
