Congress Fires On Pentagon Over Subversive Activity Memo
The Pentagon canceled and then revised a memo directing Air Force and Navy personnel to report suspected subversive activity including antiwar rhetoric and racially tinged statements at Sheppard Air Force Base. The dispute drew Senate questions from Sen. Sam Ervin and led to reports that the directive was discarded amid privacy concerns and constitutional rights of service members.
