Abstract

In Haig v. Agee, the United States Supreme Court held that the Secretary of State has the authority to revoke a passport when the bearer's activities abroad "are causing or are likely to cause serious damage to the national security or the foreign policy of the United States." This note will examine the implications of Agee as a standard in resolving conflicts between national security and first amendment rights of the individual.
