G-Men stepping in time with 'Utah' Phillips

If you're a regular reader of this blog — And judging by the Web traffic, you're not. — you may remember this post from June.

The subject of that wayward Freedom of Information Act request was Bruce "Utah" Phillips. The FBI originally told me it did not have any files on Phillips at its Salt Lake City field office.

Then a couple weeks ago, a package from FBI record keepers in Virginia arrives on my desk. A file discussing Phillips was inside.

I called the FBI's FOIA hotline to ask why I received the earlier letter telling me nothing existed. A helpful gentleman at the hotline told me he did not know why the earlier letter was sent, but — hypothetically — the FBI may not have had a file on Phillips himself but did find references to Phillips in a different file.

That makes me want to request the entire file, a piece of which is found below.

I had no idea that the g-men were keeping such meticulous records of extraordinary folks. If they could produce that kind of comprehensive profile in the 60s, what are these records like today?
