After protests from the American Librarian Association, the Justice Department has rescinded a request that libraries destroy five public documents including the text of two federal statutes. Topics addressed in the documents includes information on how citizens can retrieve items confiscated during government investigations. Justice Department officials said Tuesday the documents had been mistakenly distributed but did not contain sensitive information requiring removal from the library system.
