Inv. <u Training Telephone Rm. _. Reference memorandum from E. W. Walsh to Director See'y — Mr. Jenkins dated 11-6-75 captioned "Disciplinary Matters, Explanation Concerning Manual Provisions." During public testimony by Attorney General Levi before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Activities on 11-6-75, Senator Richard Schweiker read a portion of the Rules and Regulations, Part I, Section 9, Item C, dealing with disciplinary matters. The Senator said the rule indicates that investigations will be halted because they might "embarrass the Bureau.'' Referenced memorandum enclosed a statement, prepared by the Administrative Division, explaining the Bureau's policy in such matters, which was to be included in the record of the hearings. Mr. Hotis met with Senator Schweiker shortly after hearings on the afternoon of 11-6-75 and requested that the Senaton/ Lori an explanation of our policy into the record. He told the Senator i hae incorrect to suggest that the purpose of the rule was to terminate, or as the Senator put it "abort," an investigation that might prove to be embarrassing to the Bureau. He said the purpose of the rule is simply to insure that any incident or allegation that might discredit or undermine the public confidence in the Bureau should be brought promptly to the attention of Bureau Headquarters to insure that the matter is handled in an appropriate manner. Because of the controversy surrounding the phrase "embarrass the Bureau," however, we are revising the language of that provision so that it will more accurately convey our policy. Senator Schweiker said he did not intend to focus attention on the Bureau in this matter but simply was trying to underscore the need for an Inspectors General Office in the Department of Justice. He said he feels certain that other agencies of eB yo - have similar policies | BLA 1/ 6 2422 1OTR. us Hae INFORUS aye ON come CONTRIVED 1I9HVER pane aan sess. m _ — JBH: fh mee A 84 Halh2 6 197% Buy US.

Legal Counsel to Mr. Adams Memo Re: SENSTUDY He agreed that the policy is a sound one but said the rule is rather awkwardly worded. Schweiker said he had not intended to be critical of the Bureau and wanted Mr. Kelley to know that he has the utmost confi- dence in his leadership of the Bureau and has said so on two national television programs. He assured Mr. Hotis that he would insert the Bureau's explanation into the record immediately following his questioning of the Attorney General on the subject. ¥ Copies of the Bureau's explanation were delivered on the morning of 11-7-75 to Duggee Hatrey, an assistant in the Senator's office. We were later advised by Elliott Maxwell, a staff member of the committee, that Senator Schweiker asked him to make certain that this explanation appeared in the record of the hearings.
