Meanwhile, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which has yet to make pub- lic a single page from its files on the Rosenbergs, is being challenged by Goldstein and Prof. Allen Weinstein of Smith College's history de- partment. Goldstein, who was pre- paring a TV documentary on the Rosenberg case, and Prof. Weinstein, who was preparing a book on the cold war era,. both sought access to the files when forma. Atty. Gen. Elliot L. Richard- son stated that files compiled by the Justice Department and more than 15 years old be made, available to persons "engaged in historical re- search projects." Richardson said the files would be subject to deletions to the minimum extent neces- sary" to protect names of informants or otherwise em- barrass informers, lest, po- tential informers in the fu- ture be frightened away. Goldstein and Prof. Wein- stein who have been refused access to that files argue that the FBI is using this rationale to withhold more than is necessary. WE HAVE DATES AVAILABLE FOR YOUR NEXT AFFAIR!
