This interview should be conducted in field office and informant told that: a. He will no longer be operated by Bureau bd. Since he is public figure, he will probably be contacted by representa- tives of press, radio, and television for interviews and appearances c. He may be sought as witness by congressional committees, Immigration and Naturalization Service, and state authorities d. In.connection with such interviews and-appearances, informant must continue to be factual and truthful and must not build up or embellish statements, for if he does so he will wind up in serious trouble Advise Bureau results of stich interview and comment on its possible effec- tiveness, Be alert to possibilities of former informant being contacted by represen- tatives of publicity media and as witness by congressional committees, INS, and state authorities. SAC is responsible for knowing when former informant is scheduled or is likely to appear at hearing or make public appearance of any kind. Prior thereto in each instance, former informant must be contacted and instructions above reiterated by Agent who handled informant. Emphasize to former informant that he must stick to truth and make certain he can back up what he says, and if there is any deviation he will be sub- jected to criticism, possible libei, slander, or other criminal actions. If he inquires as to whether he should appear or testify or otherwise cooperate with any public or private individual or agency, advise him he must make that decision himself, but if he has appeared as Government witness in case which has not been finally adjudicated and decides in affirmative, he should contact USA for instructions. Advise Bureau of any such situations and results of any interviews conducted. 15. When contacting Agent feels discontinued informant could cause embarrass- ) ment to Bureau, make arrangements to have former informant come to field office where he will be personally met by SAC. At that time, he should be impressed with fact that his services were appreciated and were of consid- erable assistance to security of country and remind him that he signed agree~ ment when he was active as informant to maintain his relation with Bureau on confidential basis. SAC should stress necessity for informant to main-~ tain this confidence. P., FURNISHING INFORMANTS TO IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION SERVICE (INS) 1. INS, in order to enforce its responsibilities, must obtain evidence to prove that certain aliens, due to their membership in certain groups, are undesirable and deportable or subject to denaturalization, 2. Cooperate fully with INS in these cases and make efforts consistent with your own interests to make available information and witnesses where possible. 3. If contacted by INS inquiring for informants and you have discontinued informant or one who would be of assistance to INS and whose loss would not affect your work, furnish his identity to Bureau, together with your recommendation. 4. Bureau will review facts and advise as to whether or not his identity may be disclosed to INS. 5.
