Summary[edit]

Description
English: In the early 1970s, the US government conducted surveillance on ex-Beatle John Lennon. This is a letter from the government files. After a 25-year Freedom of Information Request battle initiated by historian Jon Wiener, the files were released. Here is one page from the file. This first release received by Wiener was heavily magic-markered out, that is, redacted. A subsequent version was released which showed much of the previously blacked-out text.
