  • Civil Society, Congress, and the Movement to Democratize the National Security State, 1970-1978
    REINING IN THE STATE: CIVIL SOCIETY, CONGRESS, AND THE MOVEMENT TO DEMOCRATIZE THE NATIONAL SECURITY STATE, 1970-1978 A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Katherine A. Scott May, 2009 i © by Katherine Anne Scott 2009 All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the battle to democratize the national security state, 1970-1978. It examines the neo-progressive movement to institutionalize a new domestic policy regime, in an attempt to force government transparency, protect individual privacy from state intrusion, and create new judicial and legislative checks on domestic security operations. It proceeds chronologically, first outlining the state’s overwhelming response to the domestic unrest of the 1960s. During this period, the Department of Justice developed new capacities to better predict urban unrest, growing a computerized databank that contained millions of dossiers on dissenting Americans and the Department of Defense greatly expanded existing capacities, applying cold war counterinsurgency and counterintelligence techniques developed abroad to the problems of protests and riots at home. The remainder of the dissertation examines how the state’s secret response to unrest and disorder became public in the early 1970s. It traces the development of a loose coalition of reformers who challenged domestic security policy and coordinated legislative and litigative strategies to check executive power. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Graduate students depend upon the goodwill of others. My parents, Mike and LeOla, started me on this intellectual journey when I was a little kid. My dad made sure that I had plenty of books to read.

    Interview with Benjamin Stanczyk January 23, 2003 MK: This is Marian Krzyzowski and I’m at the home of Judge Benjamin Stanczyk. Judge Stanczyk is living in Detroit on the east side and today is January 23rd 2003. And we’re here to talk about Judge Stanczyk’s memories of the Chene Street neighborhood, and before we do that, though, I’d like to begin first by asking you Judge Stanczyk a little bit about your family. Your parents, their names, where they were from, and how they ended up getting to the neighborhood that you know we’re talking about today, so maybe if you could just begin with names of your mother and father, where they were from. BS: My father was Bruno Stanczyk, central Poland, Zychlin is the town. MK: How is that spelled? BS: Z-Y-C-H-L-I-N. There’s a big sugar factory in Zychlin, still there. MK: Mm-hm. BS: He was a machinist in Poland. Here he became a tool and die maker, of course. My mother was Josephine Tarczynski. She came from a town Skierniewice which is in the same area, it’s between Warsaw and Lodz. My father came to American in 1910 and my mother came in ’14 to join him. My sister was born in Poland in 1908. MK: So they were married in Poland? BS: Yes. MK: And they came where in the United States.

  • The Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party: Background and Recent
    THE MISSISSIPPI FREEDOM DEMOCRATIC PARTY Background lnformaUon for SUpportive Campaigns by Campus Groups repared by STEVE MAX Political Education ProJect, Room 309, 119 Firth Ave., N. Y .c. 10003 Associated with Students for a Democratic Society THE MISSISSIPPI FREEDOM DEMOCRATIC PARTY: BACKGROUND AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS by STEVE IvlAX The Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party was founded April 26, 1964 in order to create an opportunity for meaningful political expres­ sion for the 438,000 adult Negro Mississippians ~ho traditionally have been denied this right. In-addition to being a political­ instrument, the FDP provides a focus for the coordination of civil rights activity in the state and around the country. Although its memters do not necessarily· think in the se -terms, the MFDP is the organization above all others whose work is most directly forcing a realignment within the Democratic Party. All individuals and organizations who understand that ' when the Negro is not free, then all are in chains; who realize that the present system of discrimi­ nation precludes the abolition of poverty, and who have an interest in t he destruction of the Dixiecrat-Republican alliance and the purging of the racists from the Democratic Party are poteptial allies of the MFDP. BACKGROUND INFORMATION- The Mississippi Democratic Party runs the state of Mississippi _wit h an iron hand·. It controls the legislative, executive and judicial be nches of the state government. Prior to the November, 1964 elec­ tion all 49 state Senators and all but one of the 122 Representa­ tives were Democrats.

  • CIA's Relationship with Congress, 1946–2004 L. Britt Snider
    THE AGENCY AND THE HILL: CIA’s Relationship with Congress, 1946–2004 L. Britt Snider The Center for the Study of Intelligence CSI was founded in 1974 in response to Director of Central Intelli- gence James Schlesinger’s desire to create within CIA an organiza- tion that could “think through the functions of intelligence and bring the best intellects available to bear on intelligence problems.” The center, comprising professional historians and experienced practitio- ners, attempts to document lessons learned from past operations, explore the needs and expectations of intelligence consumers, and stimulate serious debate on current and future intelligence chal- lenges. To support these activities, CSI publishes Studies in Intelligence and books and monographs addressing historical, operational, doctri- nal, and theoretical aspects of the intelligence profession. It also administers the CIA Museum and maintains the Agency’s Historical Intelligence Collection.
