"Family Jewels" now belong to the whole family


The "Family Jewels" papers, over 700 pages of CIA responses to a request for identification of "activities they thought might be inconsistent with the Agency's charter," were released by the Agency June 26. Another collection of historical documents, known as the CAESAR, POLO, and ESAU papers, which deal with the Soviet Union and China, were also released.

You can find the documents several places on the web, including:

--the CIA FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) page: http://www.foia.cia.gov/
--the National Security Archive at George Washington University : http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB222/index.htm
--National Public Radio: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=11417938.
