After years of protesting illegal wiretaps on his Georgetown home, Kraft was finally given assurances from Attorney General Edward Levi that his FBI files would be destroyed, and that such taps "would not be authorized" any longer by the Justice Department. Kraft had first learned of the bugs back in 1973; after gaining access to his FBI dossier recently, he learned even more.
