Volume 6: Federal Bureau of Investigation

Volume 6, at exactly 1000 pages, is easily the largest of all the Hearings volumes. The subject of investigation in this case was the country’s largest investigative body itself, the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Particular scrutiny was given to the FBI’s COINTELPRO operation, a counter-intelligence campaign directed at domestic dissidents during the period of civil rights and anti-war discontent. The lengthy list of witnesses included current and former Directors of the FBI, current and former Attorneys General of the US, several high-level officials of the FBI, staff members of the Senate Select Committee itself, a Ku Klux Klan informant, and a law professor. The hearings were conducted over 7 days during November and December of 1975.
