20000 Lost Documents in Spotlight
Attorney General Brownell said Justice Department lawyers are reviewing about 20000 so called lost documents. He cited an explosive 1945 FBI report on Soviet spying and named Harry Dexter White among those tied to cases that should have been followed up. Brownell said the department is pursuing these leads and blamed slipshod record keeping for past omissions in FBI file evaluations. The issue ties to White’s 1946 promotion and ongoing FBI surveillance questions.
