Hon. JAMES O. EASTLAND, Chairman, Senate Committee on the Judiciary, DEAR MR. CHAIRMAN: The recent trial for contempt of court of Miss Annette Buchanan, the 20-year-old managing editor of the University of Oregon student newspaper, has stimulated great interest in an area known as "the newsman's privilege." Miss Buchanan was found guilty of contempt of court for refusing to tell a grand jury her sources of information for an article she wrote in the student newspaper. In analyzing this, we discovered that only 12 States have acknowledge the right of the reporter to keep his sources silent. In the other States, in the District of Columbia, and at the Federal level, the reporter is not so protected. The Legislative Reference Service of the Library of Congress has prepared an extensive document summarizing the status of the law. Because I consider this to be of great importance to my colleagues on the Judiciary Committee, I request that the attached document be printed as a committee print. Best regards. EDWARD V. LONG, Chairman. |
