Monday, March 13, 2017Communist Party member.” Another record, for journalist Morley Safer (who died on May 19, 2016, at 84 years old) features an all-caps letter from FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, requesting “information re: subject which can be passed to Marine Corps” because “recently he has been giving particularly unfavorable radio accounts of Marine Corps activities in South Vietnam,” including an “account of recent killings of innocent victims in several South Vietnam Villages.”If there’s an ideal type of record to uncover, it would be something like what Vollman unearthed. The author discovered, after filing an FOIA request for himself, that for a brief period, unbeknownst to him, he was suspected to be the Unabomber. “I always think, like, What if he hadn't gone through with filing his own FOIA request and getting that information out himself?” says Higgins. “That's really where this project would prove itself, is in uncovering the unknown surveillance that nobody would even think to look for.”The documents have an interesting aesthetic appeal. “The old-fashioned typewritten pages with stamps and redactions give all the documents I get a real look-and-feel that's a bonus over and above any of the information they provide.” But more than that, there’s also a meta-voyeuristic element to the project. This isn’t just about the subjects, but their pursuers. The files allow us, in some sense, to watch FBI watch. “It's like The Lives of Others, where the real interest is in what the FBI surveillance operations choose to focus on,” adds Higgins. “It's actually a really great contrast with the obituaries, which are in some sense charged with presenting a holistic sense a person's life, and the FBI drills down on one tiny thing, like whether or not they went to some Communist meetings four decades earlier.”The project reveals, in some small way, how surveillance works. Perhaps best of all, it efficiently opens records to the public, offering slightly more government transparency.The FBI has been reticent about FOIA the Dead. When asked about the project, its press office replied, “Unfortunately, we do not have a comment for you.” Higgins is fairly certain it isn't a fan. “It's pretty clear to me that they don't like the project, and some of their acknowledgement letters have started to sound a little exasperated,” he says. “They have—as of this month—stopped accepting emailed FOIA requests, and it's easy to speculate that has something to do with me.”It might be enough to get him a file of his own.
