U. Utah Phillips, Public Enemy?!
...FBI Surveillance Records Released,

Monday January, 5th 2009

The FBI -- apparently based on reports from informants and "redacted" sources -- kept a record of meetings and actions involving KVMR's late, beloved good friend when he lived in Salt Lake City during the '60s.

A generous read of the files shows Phillips apparently guilty only of opposing the Vietnam War, atomic weapons and capital punishment. And running for the U.S. Senate in the fall of 1968.

Did Utah ever want to see these FBI files? "No, why should I?," he told pal Mark Ross. "I already knew I was doing a good job."

We'll read some of the files on the Monday Morning Show January 5th and KVMR's Evening News plans a special on the FBI actions and files later the same week.

The current Sacramento News & Review -- available free at many newstands and stores -- also has coverage of the FBI file disclosures:
