hbb@houxt.UUCP (05/23/84)

In Sunday's issue of The  Home  News  (a  NJ  paper,) an  article
appeared  on  page  G-3  titled  'New  Jersey A.C.L.U. Convention
Warning sounded on threat to privacy.' The article was written by
Michael Trotman, Home News Correspondent.

In the article, Mr Trotman wrote that David Burnham  "...detailed
incidences where private computer networks have had ties to local
law enforcement authorities, providing them profiles on suspected
radicals."

Mr. Burnham is described by Trotman as "...a veteran reporter for
the  New York Times, the reporter plutonium worker Karen Silkwood
was scheduled to meet the night of her death in 1974."
