New Webpage for Lazar CPUSA FBI FOIA Documents

H-HOAC New webpage for Lazar CPUSA FBI FOIA documents

Discussion published by John Haynes on Saturday, March 8, 2014

Hi everyone:

FYI: My existing CPUSA webpage on google-sites has been re-created on a new webpage here: https://sites.google.com/site/xrt013/cpusa1

I needed to move my webpage due to space limitations on my original google-site. I now have 100MB to devote almost entirely to CPUSA-related matters which should accommodate new material for a considerable period of time.

In addition, sometime this summer, I will be sending DVD's containing numerous FBI files to Internet Archive and Democracy US websites so that they can upload them -- including, for example, sections 25-45 and 61-69 of Phil Bart's New York field file. Altogether, that will be 14,177 pages of his file online which will be available for researchers.

The files which I sent to these websites in June 2013 are available online here:

INTERNET ARCHIVE: https://archive.org/details/lazarfoia

DEMOCRACY US: http://www.buildingdemocracy.us/archive/dox/

Also, a complete set of all my DVD's is currently available at UC-Berkeley (and they will receive a new set this summer) http://crws.berkeley.edu/fbi-foia-archive

As of today, the following FOIA requests of mine are still being processed by the FBI:
