Documented core: 'Project Mockingbird' was a CIA wiretap on syndicated columnists Robert Allen and Paul Scott (Mar 12–Jun 15, 1963), ordered by DCI McCone in coordination with AG Robert Kennedy, and listed in the 'Family Jewels' (compiled 1973, released 2007). The Church Committee (1976) documented CIA relationships with US and foreign journalists and media outlets. Carl Bernstein (Rolling Stone, 1977) reported 400+ journalists. 'Operation Mockingbird' as one broad program to control the US press comes largely from secondary accounts (e.g., Deborah Davis, 1979) — kept in its own note.
