# SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES (SSC)## STANDARDS FOR CHECKING FBI FILES## FOR A NATIONAL AGENCY CHECKSection 3(a) provides that the appointment of each civilian employee shall be made subject to investigation but in no event shall the investigation include less than a national agency check including a check of the fingerprint files of the FBI.Although the scope of a national agency check is not defined in EO 10450, Chapter 736 of the Federal Personnel Manual defines a national agency check as including a check of the fingerprint files, Identification Division, FBI, and of the investigative files of the FBI,## STANDARDS FOR DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT## THERE IS "DEROGATORY INFORMATION" IN THE FBI FILESThe standards for determining what is derogatory information is such information that shall relate, but shall not be limited to, those facts described in subdivisions (1-8) of Section 8(a).## POLICIES FOR DISSEMINATION OF SUCH DEROGATORY INFORMATIONSection 5 of EO 10450 provides:Whenever there is developed by any department or agency information indicating that the retention in employment of any officer or employee of the Government may not be clearly consistent with the interests of the national security, such information shall be forwarded to the head of the employing department or agency or his representatives....If the FBI receives information coming within the provisions of this section, the FBI has the responsibility to disseminate it whether it be of a suitability or loyalty nature. Chapter 735 of the Federal Personnel Manual contains language similar to that in Section 5. The conditions for the types of derogatory information involved are set forth in Section 8 (a) of the Order.-- 5 --NW 88326 Docld:32989603 Page 66

# SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES (SSC)Supplement Number 4 (revised) of DepartmentalOrder 3464, signed by the Attorney General on January 13,1953, provides that all files, documents, records and reportsin the Department of Justice shall be regarded as of aconfidential nature.The Attorney General by memorandum dated December 5,1947, advised the Bureau that the practice in passing alongto the various government departments and agencies informationwhich comes to its attention in connection with the conductingof investigations, normally and regularly within the Bureau'sjurisdiction, is entirely appropriate and correct. The AttorneyGeneral added that it would appear that the Bureau would beremiss in its duty if it failed to pass along informationcoming to it which might prove in the interest of the generalwelfare. He added that it is not the Bureau's responsibilityto determine whether the information is or is not of importanceto the particular agency in the carrying out of its currentactivities and responsibility, and whether or not any actionis taken by the department or agency is not, of course, aprincipal concern of the Bureau. The Attorney General advised,therefore, that in his opinion the Bureau should continue topass along information, which it is believed might be ofinterest to the various departments and agencies.It should be noted that our FBI reports distributedto outside agencies are stamped as the property of the FBI withthis additional notation," This document contains neitherrecommendations nor conclusions of the FBI and is leaned to youragency: it and its contents are not to be distributed outsideyour agency."FBI memorandum dated August 14, 1974, (enclosed), tothe Assistant Attorney General for Administration, copies forthe Deputy Assistant Attorney General, Criminal Division, andfor the Director, Department Security Staff, confirmed theresults of investigations of individuals pursuant to EO 10450be furnished, where pertinent, to the Director, DepartmentSecurity Staff.-- 6 --NW 88326 Docld:32989603 Page 67

# SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES (SSC)The memorandum pointed out that, as in the past, these reports are furnished to the Department in order that consideration may be given as to whether any Federal laws have been violated and for information concerning possible subversive infiltration into the Executive Branch of the Government.With regard to a determination as to whether any Federal laws have been violated, it was noted the violations generally involve Title 18, U.S. Code 1001, and a response is received from the Criminal Division.Information concerning subversive infiltration into the Executive Branch is furnished for the Department's assistance in discharging its responsibilities under Section 13 of EO 10450.The Assistant Attorney General for Administration, by memorandum dated August 26, 1974, (enclosed), advised that the practice as outlined in the memorandum of August 14, 1974, satisfies the needs of the Department.As the result of reorganization in the Department, these reports are now sent to the Director, Security and Administrative Services Staff.## CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH THE FBI WILL CONDUCT ITS OWN INVESTIGATION OF A PROSPECTIVE FEDERAL EMPLOYEEWith regard to Sections 5 and 8(d), supra, the FBI sent a memorandum dated May 1, 1953, (enclosed), to the Deputy Attorney General pointing out that the FBI contemplated following the policy in existence under EO 9835 (Federal Employee Loyalty Program) of initiating an investigation based on available information rather than awaiting a request for such an investigation under EO 10450 from the interested department or agency. It was stated that if this practice was in conflict with the provisions of EO 10450, consideration could be given to clarification in subsequent regulations.- 7 -NW 88326 Docld:32989603 Page 68

SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES (SSC)In reply the Deputy Attorney General on June 25, 1953, (enclosed), advised he did not believe the policy outlined in the memorandum dated May 1, 1953, to be in conflict with any provision of EO 10450 and saw no reason why the FBI should not continue this policy.The FBI has continued the practice approved in the Department's memorandum of June 25, 1953, and by memorandum dated January 23, 1976, to the Deputy Attorney General, the Department was advised that this policy still continues under the provisions of EO 10450.Enclosures.
