Скачать или смотреть Today In History: President Nixon and The Huston Plan

In 1970, President Richard Nixon almost passed a security resolution known as The Huston Plan. The plan had many provisions that would have been deemed an intrusion of privacy at the time. J. Edgar Hoover urged Nixon and others to reconsider The Huston Plan, and Nixon would go on to revoke his approval of the plan shortly before the divisions of security, such as the FBI and CIA, were introduced to it. After the Watergate Scandal, Nixon was accused of illegally monitoring and invading people's privacy. It is sad that we now live in a world where the NSA does exactly what Nixon was so heavily scrutinized for. Should the National Security Administration be able to invade our privacy for the sake of security? Join Nicole for today's history video and form your own opinion based off of the lessons learned from The Huston Plan on July 23rd, 1970.
