摘要

This study fills a hole left in research about the Federal Bureau of Investigation. While previous authors have examined the Bureau's relationship to the executive branch, especially under its long-time Director, J. Edgar Hoover, comparatively little has been written about the Bureau's relationship with the United States Congress. Using their investigatory and appropriations powers, members of Congress could have maintained stringent oversight of Bureau officials' activities. Instead, members of Congress either deferred to the executive branch, especially presidents and attorneys general, or developed close relationships with Bureau officials based on a shared politics, mainly anti-communism during the Cold War. Examining the relationship from 1907 through 1975 offers numerous examples of members of Congress looking beyond their oversight responsibilities.;Even as Congress investigated Bureau actions, no meaningful legislation was passed limiting Bureau activities. Instead, members of Congress left it to the executive branch to correct problems. On issues like wiretapping, Bureau officials either misled Congress about the extent of their activities or ignored Congressional mandates in order to continue their anti-communist agenda.;As the Cold War developed, certain Congressional committees began to use Bureau files confidentially in order to educate the public on the dangers of communism. While Bureau officials initially supported such liaison relationships, they were based on the source of the committees' information never coming to light. Once that condition was violated, Bureau officials terminated the relationship, hampering the committees' ability to use the communist issue to further political careers.;To fully understand the FBI's role in 20th-century America, the relationship with Congress must be further explored. Focusing solely on Director Hoover or the executive branch is too narrow. Members of Congress had equal opportunity to oversee Bureau activities. That they did not fulfill this responsibility portrays the difficulty Americans have in containing the actions of investigatory agencies.

Edgar Hoover的领导下，但有关该局与美国国会的关系的文章却很少。国会议员可以利用其调查和拨款权力，对主席团官员的活动进行严格的监督。相反，国会议员要么被推迟到行政部门，特别是总统和司法部长，要么在冷战期间基于共同的政治，主要是反共产主义与主席团官员建立了密切的关系。从1907年到1975年的关系考察提供了众多国会议员超越其监督职责范围的例子。即使国会调查了主席团的行动，也没有通过有意义的立法来限制主席团的活动。相反，国会议员将其留给行政部门来纠正问题。在窃听等问题上，主席团官员要么就其活动范围误导了国会，要么无视国会的授权以继续其反共议程。随着冷战的发展，某些国会委员会开始秘密使用主席团的档案进行教育公众对共产主义的危险。主席团官员最初支持这种联络关系，但它们是基于委员会信息的来源而从未公开。一旦违反了该条件，主席团官员便终止了这种关系，从而妨碍了委员会利用共产主义问题开展进一步政治事业的能力。为了充分理解FBI在20世纪美国的作用，必须进一步探讨与国会的关系。仅关注胡佛董事或行政部门过于狭窄。国会议员有同等机会监督主席团的活动。他们没有履行这一职责，说明了美国人难以遏制调查机构的行动。
