Oslo. New light is thrown on the pilot and the Labor Party's participation in political monitoring of communists in the post -war years. Ronald Bye states in the book "The Sergeant" that he, as LO secretary, burned an archive of leftist in the People's House in 1969. A note from the deceased expedition chief Andreas Andreas at the Prime Minister's Office reveals that the Ministry of Defense had financed his own surveillance agents in the Ap and LO in the post-war years. The AP management asks historians to investigate the claims. Accusations are directed at former AP secretary Haakon Lie for working with the CIA after the war. The parties NKP, SV and RV will have public investigation. The government refuses. The secret part of the Mellbye report will be presented after prolonged political pressure in November. It shows that in 1967, 6300 Norwegian citizens were registered as "monitoring ineressant". The picture: Mellbye report on 128 pages is presented on 12 May 1967. The committee investigated all aspects of the surveillance and intelligence service, and submitted a recommendation with suggestions on how the service should be run. The recommendation was handed over by the chairman of the "Mellbye Committee", Supreme Court Attorney Jens Chr. Mellbye (t.v.), to the then Prime Minister Per Borten. On November 1987, 20 years later, the secret part of the report was presented. Ntb archive photo / ntb
