Professor sues for access to LBJ briefings

Professor Larry Berman of the Univ. of California at Davis has filed a lawsuit against the CIA for access to three different days of the president's daily briefings (PDBs) of the Johnson Administration. He says access to these briefings would shed light on the Tet Offensive and other aspects of the Johnson administration. The CIA argues the briefings contain sensitive information, and furthermore maintains a blanket policy of not declassifying any PDBs. (The Recorder, New York Lawyer, March 9).
