: Without informing anyone outside the Justice Department, and only a very
: few within, the U.S. Attorney General and the FBI Director agreed upon a
: plan by which the president could suspend many of the key safeguards of
: the Constitution.
:
: Under the top-secret agreement, code-named "Security Portfolio," the FBI
: was authorized, in the event of an ill-defined emergency, to summarily
: arrest up to 20,000 persons and place them in national security detention
: camps.
:
: A watch list of those who should be detained---along with detailed
: information about what they looked like, where they lived and their
: place of employment---was developed by the FBI.
:
: The decision as to who was placed on the watch list was left to the
: FBI and included many whose only crime was to openly criticize some
: aspect of American life.
