Reading Room Document
Ezra Pound Papers
This document discusses the proper disposition of personal papers taken by the FBI from Ezra Pound in 1945. The conclusion reached is that the Bureau should release all documentary material to the Pound Estate Administrator, John B. Jones, Jr., with legal protection agreements in place. However, there are unresolved issues regarding proprietary and copyright claims on other materials obtained by the Bureau, as well as concerns about the privacy interests of individuals mentioned in the investigatory files. The document presents questions about how to handle these unresolved issues and seeks advice on whether the proposed resolution is satisfactory.
