Indonesia 1958, edition 1.1 — selected historical-page reuse

The image named history.jpg reproduces printed page 265 (PDF page 283) of L. Britt Snider, The Agency and the Hill: CIA’s Relationship with Congress, 1946–2004 (CIA Center for the Study of Intelligence, 2008).

The previous edition incorrectly based this page’s status on an assumption of federal-employee authorship under 17 USC §105. Snider’s House testimony of 22 October 2009, printed page 12 (PDF page 14), says he retired in 2001 and subsequently wrote the book under contract with CIA. That assumption is withdrawn.

Reuse instead relies on CIA.gov’s express Site Policies, General Disclaimer and Copyright Notice: the Agency permits copying/republication of information on its own website when no copyright is indicated and requests credit to the Agency and named author. Source: https://www.cia.gov/site-policies/ . Policy snapshot and extracted text retained privately; reviewed 25 October 2026.

The book was acquired directly from https://www.cia.gov/resources/csi/static/The-Agency-and-Hill.pdf . Its front matter, selected page and full text were examined. No contrary copyright notice was found (408-page text search yielded no occurrence of copyright). The selected page has no third-party photograph or separately reproduced third-party document. It contains short attributed quotations and bibliographic references, whose presence is not treated as permission to reproduce those entire outside works. The selected page is credited to Snider and CIA in both editions and the dataset. The full book remains private; this page-level determination is not blanket clearance of a mixed archival collection.

Contract-authorship evidence: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CHRG-111hhrg53774/pdf/CHRG-111hhrg53774.pdf , printed page 12. The scanned page was visually inspected and retained in the private research folder.
