Nixon committee studies ‘Big Brother’
PEANUTS
By Charles M.
PEANUTS
WASHINGTON <A>> _ Presi
dent Nixon has instructed his new
right to privacy committee to con
centrate its study on the federal
government’s “big brother” prob
lem rather than on industry prac
tices, officials said Wednesday.
According to officials present
at the Cabinet level group’s first
meeting Tuesday, Nixon said that
while there are problems in priv

Merrie Melodies
and Looney Tunes
By TED BORISKIE
The rumors have been floating
around for months that the Texas
World Speedway is going to be
the site of a rock festival this
summer.
It looks like the rock festival is
only a rumor but there is a good
possibility that the TWS will be
the site of the Second Annual
Willie Nelson Fourth of July Pic
nic to be held July 4-5-6.
The people at TWS are saying
that nothing is definite but the
promoters say that the whole
thing is in the bag and will defi
nitely come off.
The proposed festival is tenta
tively featuring many of the same
performers who appeared at last
year’s fete at Dripping Springs.
Willie Nelson and Leon Russell
are scheduled to emcee the thing
with performers as diverse as
John Prine (whom I consider to
be the best songwriter around to
day) and Ray Price (whom I con
sider to be the most useless per
former around today) slated as
possibly appearing.
I can only hope this year’s pro
moters use a bit more careful
planning than did the people be
hind last year’s hopelessly mis
managed affair.
Water and sanitation facilities
are grossly inadequate at TWS to
hold such a picnic at this time
and parking could also develop in
to a real problem. Electrical cap
abilities will have to be strength
ened to prevent a recurrence of
the blackout of last year. In
addition, TWS was built to house
crowds for only a day. It remains
to be seen what will happen when
several thousand people try to
spend three or four nights on the
premises.
On the positive side, I have been
assured by the promoters that
none of these problems will arise
this year.
It looks like the picnic is being
planned much more extensively
than last year’s which was saved
only by the good graces of the
performers themselves. Many
who appeared last year had to
undergo great personal hassle and
performed only because they
wanted the festival to be a suc
cess.
Invited to perform this year
are Jerry Jeff Walker, Michael
Murphey, Commander Cody and
the Lost Planet Airmen, Doug
iSahm, Kinky Freidman, Roger
Miller, Bill Monroe, Ernest Tubbs,
Kris Kristofferson and Rita Cool-
idge.
Also, Waylon Jennings, Billy
Joe Shaver, Johnny Rodriguez,
Charlie Rich, Lefty Friezell, Tom
T. Hall, Jim & Jesse, Roy Acuff,
Red Stegall and Sammie Smith.
It should be noted that nothing
is definite about the festival, es
pecially who will perform. With
all the financial difficulties TWS
has been having lately, a concert
of this type should provide a
means of turning a profit at the
ill-fated track. All those desiring
more information on the festival
should write:

Further developments on the
festival will be noted in future
editions of this column.

dividuals, “let’s not all dump on
industry, let’s worry about the
big brother problem.”
In announcing formation of the
11-member committee headed by
Vice President Gerald R. Ford,
Nixon referred in a nationwide
address to the potential abuses in
private and government data col
lection procedures.
But in convening the commit
tee’s initial meeting, officials re
ported that the President concen
trated on government practices,
declaring that federal agencies
now collect too much data on in
dividuals including information
“that the government ought not
to know.”
They said he suggested that
the panel’s first order of business
should be cataloguing the types
of information gathered by the
government and finding out
whether its collection is justified.
Nixon apparently offered no
specifics on types of information
to which he was referring, but did
express interest in safeguarding
criminal investigative files.
Officials reported that Nixon
strongly voiced his opinion that
criminal arrest and conviction
records must be accessible to var
ious law enforcement agencies.
But, they said, he insisted that
“there ought to be the strictest
security on raw data collected by
the FBI because it includes third
and fourth-hand hearsay.”
According to those present,
Nixon described the question of
the right to privacy as “spongy,”
and recommended that the com
mittee concentrate its work on
specifically defined areas. Panel
members agreed to report back in
a week with suggestions for study.
Within the next several weeks,
the vice president is expected to
appoint an executive director to
oversee a staff drawn from vari
ous government agencies.
Nixon said in his radio speech
Saturday that he wanted the com
mittee, within four months, to be
gin to come up with recommenda
tions for executive orders, regula
tions, and legislation to protect
individuals’ right to privacy.
