FO-302 (REV 41-27-70) 5 @- FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION Date of transcription 9/2/71 On August 27, 1971, Speciai Agents MARTIN J. GASS, THOMAS E. TIERNEY and ROBERT H. WALLER went to the residence of 130 North 4th Street, Camden, New Jersey, in an effort to locate and apprehend Reverend EDWARD J. NC GOWAN, a federal fugitive. Information had been received that he was at the address of DALE S. CUNNINGHAM. Special Agents (SAS) WALLER and TIERNEY went to the front of the residence and SA GASS went to the rear door. In the act of going up the steps to the front door, vhich was open, a house number was not observed, Miss LIANNE MOCCIA, who had been arrested in the act of destroying Draft - Beard records in Camden, New Jersey, on August 22, 1971, was observed at the front entrance and when she saw the approaching agents, she ran quickly inside. A white male, later identified as DALE S,. CUNNINGHAM, met SAS TIERNEY and WALLER on the front steps and foyer, SA WALLER identified himself and SA TIERNEY and explained the reason for their presence, namely, the existence of an arrest warrant for EDWARD J. MC GOWAN and there was in- formation that MC GOWAN either was at this residence or had been there a short time ago, and would he produce MC GOWAN or permit a search of this property in order to locate MC GOWAN. | CUNNINGHAM became outraged and stated that no one was going to search this property and refused to confirm or deny the presence of MC GOWAN. The agents left the premises. SA WALLER then telephonically verified that MC GOWAN was definitely believed to be at CUNNINGHAM's residence. ee SA WALLER again proceeded to the CUNNINGHAM resi-~ dence, 130 North 4th Street, Camden, New Jersey, with the following SAS: ALBERT W.

2 NK 89-56 Upon arrival, CUNNINGHAM was again in the foyer, as if expecting someone. SA WALLER again identified himself? by displaying his credentials again, and identified the other men as SAS of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). CUNNINGHAM was advised that the information that MC GOWAN was at this residence was considered reliable and that the agents would like to search the residence. At this point CUNNINGHAM said, “No, you are not going to search my house", and proceeded to lash out at SA WALLER with his left forearm and elbow, striking<;SA WALLER in the left jaw. He Shen placed his open right hand on SA WALLER's face and struck out at SA WALLER with his hands and arms. With his left arm, he grabbed SA WALLER around the neck and Lifted Ups With the help of SAS DEBBAUDT, OWENS, and TIERNEY, with SAS CARROLL and CASS attempting to get into the small foyer area, CUNNINGHAM was subdued and placed under arrest, being so advised by SAS OWENS and WALLER. CUNNINGHAM was taken to the Camden, New Jersey, Office of the FBI by SAS DEBBAUDT and OWENS. SAS CARROLL, GASS, TIERNEY and WALLER searched the premises at 130 North heh Street, Camden, New Jersey, but ‘MC GOWAN was not located on these premises. At this residence were also two other males, LIANNE MOCCIA and two other females, all of whom refused to identify ‘hemsalves except PHILIP TRACY. ; : TRACY stated to SAS WALLER and CARROLL that he was employed by the Village Voice, @0 Union Place, New York City. New York, telephone number 212-WA 4-4669. TRACY also volunteered that he could not understand nor explain why CUNNINGHAM had become so violent and acted the way he did in view of the gentlemanly conduct of agents and if he had been in charge here, this would not have hanened, since CUNNINGHAM's actions were unnecessary and unreasonable, .

(10. [11.] { [12.] @ ' PART IT SECTION 6, PUBLICATIONS, PRESS, AND PUBLIC CONTACTS In cases involving bombings having an apparent racial or religious basis with the resultant public interest, the SAC should -issue a statement to the press indicating the SAC has arrived at the scene or is en route to actively assist local investigative authorities, making available to them every possible cooperative service of the FBI, including the Bureau's full ‘laboratory and identification facilities, to further assist them by han- dling out-of-state leads, and to take charge of all investigative efforts that may indicate any Federal violation. At no time should this statement indicate that the criminal act is obviously outside the investigative jurisdiction of the FBI nor should full investigative responsibility for the incident be either assumed or declared. The issuance of this state- ment requires prior Bureau approval in every such instance, and the Bureau should be contacted telephonically and furnished known facts of the incident so a prompt statement can be authorized. In contacts with the press concerning a bank robbery, bank burglary, or bank larceny no information should be volunteered concerning the amount of loot obtained. Specific questions by members of the press concerning amount of loot may be answered only following the arrest of an individual or individuals for violation of the Federal bank robbery statute. ] Copies of Bureau press releases to be placed in case file and press release file if exists. In connection with service awards to Bureau personnel, SACs may provide news media with a photograph and a brief biographical sketch of employee. No employee may submit to a personal interview by a newsman in connection with such an award or under any other circumstances, for that matter, without prior Bureau authority. This does not preclude an SAC or other Bureau official from issuing news releases in accordance with existing Bureau policy. B. FBI LAW ENFORCEMENT BULLETIN Nae 1.

In cases involving bombings having an apparent racial.or religious basis with the resultant public interest, the SAC should issue 2 statement to the press indicating the SAC has arrived at the scene or is en route to actively assist local investigative authorities, making available to them every possible cooperative service of the FBI, including the Bureau's full laboratory and identification facilities, to further assist them by han- dling out-of-state leads, and to take charge of all investigative efforts that may indicate any Federal violation. At no time should this statement indicate that the criminal act is obviously outside the investigative jurisdiction of the FBI nor should full investigative responsibility for the incident be either assumed or declared. The issuance of this state- ment requires prior Bureau approval in every such instancé, and the Bureau should be contacted telephonically and furnished known facts of the incident so a prompt statement can be authorized. ‘ 10. In contacts with the press concerning a bank robbery, bank burglary, or bank larceny no information should be volunteered concerning the amount of loot obtained. Specific questions by members of the press concerning amount of loot may be answered only following the arrest of an individual or individuals for violation of the Federal bank robbery , statute. ll.

While good judgment must prevail, in important cases in which a local newspaper deadline is approaching, it may be advisable to telephone the Bureau for clearance. Press releases are to be made personally only by the SAC or in his absence by the ASAC, : 0] Releases are to be made both at headquarters and the local area affected. : by developments. ALL material prepared for the public must be reviewed word for word. It is not to contain words or phrases which might be regarded as objectionable or offensive to a member of any race, creed, or religious sect. Thorough advance planning should be utilized wherever possible, and all press releases should be coordinated to eliminate any avoidable delays. In the absence of an overriding consideration bearing on the public inter- est, no statement should be put in an announcement to the press to the effect that a subject either has confessed or has admitted his crimes without specific Bureau approval. In case of doubt, consult the Bureau. When the fact that a subject has given a confession is included in a com- plaint and an inquiry is forthcoming from the press, a "no comment” reply should be given. The complaint is a court record and must be left to speak for itself. On-the-spot announcements by SAC are authorized in emérgency situations in which good judgment so dictates. Emergency on-the-spot statements by Agents limited to their official identity and, if known, the identity of f. fugitive or criminal in gun battle. If badly wanted fugitive apprehended \ in remote area and SAC absent, Agent may, in rare emergency only and where time of essence, furnish bare details. Contact by SAC with press should be effected immediately where press desires further details. In those instances in which a press release is issued at SOG, television and radio media should be merely provided with a written copy of the press release, and Bureau personnel should not submit to live, filmed, or tape~- recorded interviews of any kind, including the reading of the release it~ self, without prior Bureau authority. Tact and diplomacy must be exercised in declining to participate in such interviews. With respect to local press releases, SACs may, when requested, make personal appearances on television and radio provided no interviews are conducted and there is absolutely no elaboration over and above the original press releasa, These conditions should be made known in advance to television and radio station representatives when such requests are received.[Reading of these local press releases on the telephone to the news media should be done by the SAC or ASAC.] In the absence of special circumstances, Bureau Agents should never suggest or request a reporter or another representative of a newspaper or similar circumstances do exist, it will be necessary to clear with the Bureau prior to making any such request. oo la 1-27-71

In case of doubt, consult the Bureau. When the fact that a subject has given a confession is included in a com- plaint and an inguiry is forthcoming from the press, a "no comment" reply should be. given.

With respect to local press releases, SACs may, when requested, make personal appearances on television and radio provided no interviews are conducted and there is absolutely no elaboration over and above the original press release, These conditions should be made known in advance to television and radio station representatives when such requests are received. Reading of these local press releases on the telephone to the news media should be done by the SAC or ASAC, In the absence of special circumstances, Bureau Agents should never suggest or request a reporter or another representative of a newspaper or similar publication to withhold the publication of news.

PUBLICATIONS, PRESS, AND PUBLIC CONTACTS 9, In cases involving bombings having an apparent racial or religious basis with the resultant public interest, the SAC should issue a statement to the press indicating the SAC has arrived at the scene or is en route to actively assist local investigative authorities, making available to them every possible cooperative service of the FBI, including the Bureau's full laboratory and identification facilities, to further assist them by han-~- dling out-of-state leads, and to take charge of all investigative efforts that may indicate any Federal violation. At no time should this statement indicate that the criminal act is obviously outside the investigative jurisdiction of the FBI nor should full investigative responsibility for the incident be either assumed or declared. The issuance cf this state- ment requires prior Bureau approval in every such instance, and the Bureau should be contacted telephonically and furnished known facts of the incident so a prompt statement can be authorized. 10. In contacts with the press concerning a bank robbery, bank burglary, or bank larceny no information should be volunteered concerning the amount of loot obtained.

In cases involving bombings having an apparent racial or religious basis with the resultant public interest, the SAC should issue a statement to the press indicating the SAC has arrived at the scene or is en route to actively assist local investigative authorities, making available to them every possible cooperative service of the FBI, including the Bureau's full. laboratory and identification facilities, to further assist them by han- dling out-of-state leads, and to take charge of all investigative efforts that may indicate any Federal violation. At no time should this statement indicate that the criminal act is obviously outside the investigative jurisdiction of the FBI nor should full investigative responsibility for the incident be either assumed or declared. The issuance of this state- ment requires prior Bureau approval in every such instances, and the Bureau should be contacted telephonically and furnished known facts 6f the incident so a prompt statement can be authorized. 10. In contacts with the press concerning a bank robbery, bank burglary, or bank larceny no information should be volunteered concerning the amount of loot obtained. Specific questions by members of the press concerning amount of loot may be answered only following the arrest of an individual or individuals for violation of the Federal bank robbery statute. 11. Copies of Bureau press releases to be placed in case file and press release file if exists. . 12. In connection with service awards to Bureau personnel, SACs may provide news media with a photograph and a brief biographical sketch of employee. No employee may submit to a personal interview by a newsman in connection with such an award or under any other circumstances, for that matter, without prior Bureau authority. This does not preciude an SAC or other Bureau official from issuing news releases in accordance with existing Bureau policy. 13. Bureau personnel, including SACs and ASACs, are not to participate in give-and-take news conferences without prior Bureau authority including clearance by the Press Services Office. -This will be permitted only in the rarest of circumstances where mitigating facts clearly indicate it is to the Bureau's best interests to participate.

Confidential Nature of FBI Operations See Part I, Section 1, page 9, paragraph B of Manual of Rules and Regulations. , 2e Title 28, Section 50.2 of the Code of Federal Regulations concerning release of information by personnel of the Department of. Justice relating to criminal and civil proceedings states: (Ca) Generale -(1) The availability to news media of information in criminal and civil cases is a matter which has become increasingly a subject of concern in the administration of justice. The purpose of this statement is to formulate specific guidelines for the release of such information by personnel of the Department of Justice. "(2) While the release of information for the purpose of influencing a trial is, of course, always improper, there are valid reasons for making available to the public information about the administration of the law. The task of striking a fair balance between the protection of individuals accused of crime or involved in civil proceedings with the Government and public understandings of the problems of controlling crime and administering government depends largely on the exercise of sound judg- ment by those responsible for administering the law and by representa tives of the press and other media.e "(3) Inasmuch as the Department of Justice has generally fulfilled its responsibilities with awareness and understanding of the competing needs in this area, this statement, to a considerable extent, reflects and formalizes the standards to which representatives of the Department have adhered in the past. Nonetheless, it will be heipful in ensuring uniformity of practice to set forth the following guidelines for all personnel of the Department of Justice. (4) Because of the difficulty and importance of the questions they ( raise, it is felt that some portions of thé matters covered by this : statemént, such as the authorization to make available Federal con~ viction records and a description of items seized at the time of arrest, should be the subject of continuing review and consideration by the Department on the basis of experience and suggestions from those within and outside the Department. "(b) Guidelines to criminal actionse (1} These guidelines shall apply to the release of information to news media from the time a person is the subject of a criminal investigation until any proceeding resulting from such as investigation has been terminated by trial or ‘ otherwise. (2) At no time shall personnel of the Department of Justice furnish any statement or information for the purpose of influencing the oute . come of a defendant's trial, nor shall personnel of: the Department furnish any statement or information, which could reasonably be expected to be disseminated by means of public communication, if such a statement or information may reasonably .be expected to influence the outcome of a pending or future trial. ™(3) Personnel of the Department of Justice, subject to specific limita tions imposed by law or court rule or order, may make public the follow~ | ing information: co™ 2~-27—74 NW 55072 Docld: 32989525 Page 230

"(4) Personnel of the Department shall not volunteer for publication ° . any information concerning a defendant's prior criminal record, but infor-. mation drawn from Federal conviction records may be made available in response to a specific request. "(5) Because of the particular danger of prejudice resulting from statements in the period approaching and during trial, they ought strenuously .to be avoided during that period. ‘Any such statement or release shall be made only on the infrequent occasion when circumstances absolutely demand a disclosure of information and shall include only information which is clearly not prejudicial. "(6) The release of certain types of information generally tends to create dangers of prejudice without serving a significant law enforce-~ ment function. Therefore, personnel of the Department should refrain ; from making available the following: ( "(i)} Observations about a defendant's character. "Cii) Statements, admissions, confessions, or alibis attributable to a defendant, or the refusal or failure of the accused to make a statement. "(iii) Reference to investigative procedures such as fingerprints, polygraph examinations, ballistic tests, or laboratory tests, or to the refusal by the defendant to submit to such tests or examinations. "Civ) Statements concerning the identity, testimony, or credibility of prospective witnesses. "(v) Statements concerning evidence or argument in the case, whether or not it is anticipated that such evidence or argument will “be used at trial. "(vi) Any opinion as to the accused's guilt, or the possibility of a plea of guilty to the offense charged, or the possibility of a plea to a lesser offense. "(7) Personnel of the Department of Justice should take no action to encourage or assist news media in photographing or televising a defend- ant or accused person being held or transported in Federal custody. Departmental representatives should not make available photographs of a defendant unless a law enforcement function is served thereby. la 2-27-74 MW 55072 Docld: 32989529 Page 231

PUBLICATIONS, PRESS, AND PUBLIC CONTACTS os "(8) This statement of policy is not intended to restrict the release of information concerning a defendant who is a fugitive from justice. "(9) Since the purpose of this statement is to set forth generally applicable guidelines, there will, of course, be situations in which it will limit the release of information which would not be prejudicial under the particular circumstances. If a representative of the Depart ment believes that in the interest of the fair administration of justice and the law enforcement process information beyond these guidelines . should be released, in a particular case, he shall request the permis- sion of the Attorney General or the Deputy Attorney General to do soe "(c) Guidelines to civil actions. Personnel of the Department of i* Justice associated with a civil action shall not during its investiga- tion or litigation make or participate in making an extrajudicial statement, other than a quotation from or reference to public records, which a reasonable person would expect to be disseminated by means of public communication if there is a reasonable likelihood that such dis- semination will interfere with a fair trial and which relates to: "(1) Evidence regarding the occurrence or transaction involved. - "(2) The character, credibility, or criminal records of a party, wit~ ness, or prospective witness.

They should be issued to all interested news media in the field office territory as simultaneously as possible; and they should provide as full an account of the facts as can be disclosed within the provisions of Section 50.2. In news releases announcing arrests or other developments attributable to the joint efforts of the FBI and other law enforcement agencies, appropriate recognition should, of course, be given to those other agenciese SACs may authorize other experienced Special Agents, including Resident Agents, in their field offices to read or deliver news releases issued over the SAC'ts naine to news media after the SAC has approved those news releases. However, those Special Agents should not expand upon the information in the news releases3 and they should answer any inquiry or request for additional informa~ tion by courteously telling the newsman involved that his inquiry or request will be brought to the attention of the SAC as quickly as possible for his consideration and action. The reason for the policy of referring all such matters to the SAC is to assure both uniformity and accuracy of any supplemental information that is provided to news media.o SACs also may authorize other experienced Special Agents to record news releases in compliance with requests of radio and television - stations. However, only SACs or ASACs should make live or filmed television appearances involving the reading of news releases. SACs have the option of accepting or declining such time-consuming requests made by radio and television stations. If declined, however, the declinations should be tactfully worded and explained ( so as to avoid any impression of partiality. If a request is accepted, the radio and/or television station involved should under- stand that the SAC or the Special Agent designated by the SAC will merely read the text of the news release and will not answer questions. On occasion, SACs also issue news releases or make announcements dealing with administrative matters such as transfers of the SAC or ASAC of the field office or presentation of service awards to personnel of the field office. On such occasions, photographs and biographical sketches of the personnel involved may be made 8 available to the news mediae However, requests to interview these employees about their official duties and experiences should tactfully be declined. le 2-21-74
NW 35072 De Ce @ PART II @ 6A. SECTION 6. PUBLICATIONS, PRESS, AND PUBLIC CONTACTS So as to minimize the opportunities for criminal elements to harass Special Agents and their families, neither photographs nor biographical sketches of Special Agents should be made available to news media in connection with news releases, announcements, or inquiries pertaining to FBI investigations. The sole exception is in the case of employees who are killed in line of duty, in which instances the release of photographs and biographical data should ‘be coordinated with the Administrative Division and the External Affairs Division. MMulti~-Office" news releases News releases announcing arrests or other important developments in wide-ranging investigations often require close coordination and simultaneous release to the press by two or more field offices. The External Affairs Division should be consulted before any such news release is made, and consideration should be given to the question of whether a national news release is merited. National news releases As a general rule, national news releases announcing arrests or other investigative developments are issued only in exceptional cases involving (1) prominent persons, such as well-known business and civic leaders, entertainers, athletes, or officials of local, county, state, or Federal Government; (2) persons of national notoriety, such as members of the "Ten Most Wanted Fugitives''; (3) persons arrested for crimes that have attracted nationwide interest, such as prevailed in the 1950 robbery of Brink's Inc., at Boston; Massachusetts, and the 1964 murder of three young civil rights workers in Neshoba County, Mississippi; and (4) persons whose crimes have international ramifications, such as espionage agents or fugitives who have fled abroad. The heads of headquarters and field divisions should assure that the essential facts of all such casés, including anticipated developments therein, are promptly brought to the atten~ tion of the External Affairs Division on a continuing basise National news releases generally will be issued in Washington, D. Ceo However, copies will be furnished to all interested field offices so that the SACs of those offices can make them available to local news media within minutes of their release in Washington. SACs should not expand upon the contents of national news releases without approval of both the substantive division involved and the External Affairs Division. id 2-27-74 Decld: 32989525 Page 234 —_
6A NW 55072 Doocld: 32989529 Page 235 @ PART II r ) SECTION 6. PUBLICATIONS, PRESS, AND PUBLIC CONTACTS News Media Inquiries ( There are two categories of news media inquiries. The first involves ; routine inquiries received at the field office regarding either investi- gative or administrative matterse These should be answered by the SAC or ASAC within the guidelines indicated above. In responding to such inquiries, SACs and ASACs should be courteous, factual, and as helpful as possiblee They should, however, avoid answering hypothetical questions or questions that would require then to express personal opinions on matters of intense local or national controversye The second category involves inquiries from the news media in emergency situations. Often these are received by Special Agents at the scenes of arrests, gun battles, or other ‘fast-moving developments in investigations. Unless undercover assignments or similar overriding circumstances dic~ tate otherwise, Special Agents who are approached by newsmen at the scenes of fast-moving developments in FBI cases should (a) identify themselves as "a Special Agent of the FBI," (b) furnish the name of the field office ‘to which they are assigned, and (c) ‘state the general nature of the inves- tigative operations, such as "We are here to serve an arrest (or a search) - warrante'™ Requests for additional information should be answered by courteously referring the newsman to the field office or to the tem- porary field headquarters if such a temporary field headquarters has been established in the areas Only SACs. or ASACs should participate in question~and~answer intérviews. with representatives of any news medium at the scenes of fast-moving developments in FBI cases. In emergency situations, however, Special ; ° Agents can relay reporters' questions to the SAC by telephone or radio; . ; ( and the SAC'ts responses thereto can be furnished to the reporters in _ the SAC'ts name by a Special Agente In other than such emergency situa~ tions, Special Agents should courteously refer newsmen to the SAC or ASAC for answers to their questions; and Special Agents' investigative responsibilities attendant to such fast-moving developments must take precedence over questions or inquiries of newsmen. No FBI employee should knowingly furnish an erroneous, deceptive, or misleading answer to a news media inquiry. In the overwhelming majority of cases, an unequivocal and definitive answer can be given reporters? questions regarding whether the FBI is, or is not, investigating a specific criminal act, as well as the reason why we have or have not instituted investigation. However, in kidnap-for-ransom cases and related crimes involving a threat against human life, neither the fact that the crime has occurred, nor the fact that the FBI is investigating it, should be disclosed or confirmed without the approval of the sub- stantive investigative division and the External Affairs Division. Due to the sensitivity of many banking-type institutions to publicity concerning the amount of loot obtained in robberies, burglaries, and larcenies of financial institutions, such information should not be disclosed to news media without the concurrence of the General Investi-~ gative Division and the External Affairs Division. - le 2-27-74

CONTACTS Under no circumstances should any employee ask or suggest that a newse man withhold information from the public without the concurrence of the substantive investigative division and the External Affairs Division. Fugitive Publicity News releases and other public disclosures designed to solicit public cooperation in the apprehension of FBI fugitives may contain more facts about the fugitive's criminal background than are permissible in news releases and announcements regarding arrestse In publicity regarding FBI fugitives, extreme care should be taken to avoid statements that brand a fugitive as guilty of a crime for which he has not been convicted. Arrest numbers or other data that identify a photograph as having been made in connection with a past arrest or imprisonment should not appear in } Photographs of fugitives that are furnished to news mediae- “Bield offices should coordinate all fugitive publicity with. the Special. Investigative Division and the External Affairs Divisions; and they should not hesitate to consult the External Affairs Division regarding ques- tions or problems that arise in any area of news media relationse Liaison With News Media ‘ SACs who consider it necessary or advisable to do so may use one or more experienced Special Agents to assist in facilitating prompt and effective liaison with the news media. Such Agents will not be spokes- men for their field officese They may furnish information to news media in the SAC's name after it has been approved by the SAC. They also may assist in preparing news releases, as well as responses to news media inquiries. These Agents should devote no more time to such news media liaison duties than is absolutely necessary. . It is the intent of these guidelines to facilitate a more open stance and, thereby, a mutually beneficial relationship between FBI and news media representativese SACs, as well as other employees acting for them in news media relations, should be as responsive as practical and pose sible to inquiries and requests made by newsmen. The term "No comment" should be avoided except when its use is absolutely necessary. If an SAC does not know the answer to a newsman's question, he should have no hesitancy in stating, "I don't know," and/or, depending upon the nature of the inquiry, telling the newsman "that he will contact him (the news- | man) as soon as he has information that can be furnished to him. SACs should avail themselves of every opportunity to meet and become well acquainted with leading citizens throughout their field divisions, including representatives of all important news media. They should seek to cultivate a personal, as well as an official, relationship with these individuals to the fullest extent that the demands of other duties make possible.

CIRCULAR LETTERS, TRADE AND BUSINESS PUBLICATIONS l. 2. Circular letters must be approved in advance by the Bureau and sent in by the office initiating the request. SACS may approve the use of a circular letter directed to banking— type institutions within their own divisions to expedite circularization of known serial numbers of money included in the loot taken in a bank robbery, bank burglary, or bank larceny. On a highly selective basis, on approval of the SAC, leads may be set out to contiguous offices to circularize banking-type institutions in those divisions, and the Bureau should be notified that this action is being taken unless advised to the contrary. Communications setting out such leads must include suf- ficient facts to enable the Bureau to properly evaluate and justify the additional circularization. In all other cases prior Bureau approval must be obtained in accordance with existing rules governing circular letters. In all instances the circular letter must include the following: a. <A brief concise statement concerning the bank robbery, bank burglary, or bank larceny and the fact that included in the loot or money — taken was money, the serial numbers of which are known b.

The purpose of this program is to assure that each SAC possesses the key [ facts concerning important happenings anywhere within the FBI that command widespread public interest. Information furnished to SACs under this program should prove helpful to them, as well as to other FBI personnel, in answer- ing questions, correcting misunderstandings, and dispelling false rumors that may exist either within or without the ranks of the FBI. In some instances, however, the information may be of such a nature that it cannot be disclosed in whole or in part to outsiders. In fact, occasionally it is necessary to restrict discussion and disclosure of the information even within FBIHQ and field offices. Guidelines furnished on each communication should be strictly followed. ‘ FBIHQ and field office personnel should promptly bring to the attention, of the External Affairs Division all current items ant oven that they feel merit consideration for’inclusion under this program» wey 10 2-27-74 NW 35072 Doold: 32999529 Page 244

© 7 PART It @ i SECTION 6- PUBLICATIONS, PRESS, AND PUBLIC CONTACTS C [ Under no circumstances should any employee ask or suggest that a news- man withhold information from the public without the concurrence of the substantive investigative division and the External Affairs Division. 55 Fugitive Publicity News releases and other public disclosures designed to solicit public cooperation in the apprehension of FBI fugitives may contain more facts about the fugitive's criminal background than are permissible in news releases and armotuncements regarding arrests. In publicity regarding FBI fugitives, extreme care should be taken to avoid statements that brand a fugitive as guilty of a crime for which he has not been convicted. Arrest numbers or other data that identify a photograph as having been made in connection with a past arrest or imprisonment should not appear in photographs of fugitives that are furnished to news media. [ [ [ i [ L t Field offices should coordinate all fugitive publicity with the Special Investigative Division and the External Affairs Division; and they should not hesitate to consult the External Affairs Division regarding ques- tions or problems that arise in any area of news media relations. 6. Liaison With News Media s SACs who consider it necessary or advisable to do so may use one or ° more experienced Special Agents to assist in facilitating prompt and effective liaison with the news media. Such Agents will not be spokes~ men for their field offices. They may furnish information to news media in the SAC's name after it has been approved by the SAC. They also may assist in preparing news releases, as well as responses to news media inquiries. These Agents should devote no more time to such news media liaison duties than is absolutely necessaryo It is the intent of these guidelines to facilitate a more open stance and, thereby, a mutually beneficial relationship between FBI and news media representatives. SACs, as well as other employees acting for them in news media relations, should be as responsive as practical and pos- sible to inquiries and requests made by newsmen. The term "No comment" should be avoided except when its use is absolutely necessary. If an SAC -does not know the answer to a newsman*s question, he should have no hesitancy in stating, "I don't know," and/or, depending upon the nature of the inquiry, telling the newsman that he will contact him (the news~ man) as soon as he has information that can be furnished to hime . SACs should avail themselves of every opportunity to meet and become well acquainted with leading citizens throughout their field divisions, including representatives of all important news medias» They should seek to cultivate a personal, as well as an official, relationship with these individuals to the fullest extent that the demands of other duties make possible. | if 2027-74 , S5072 Doold: 32909529 Page 246 i

Each field office is required to submit three suggestions for byline articles from each state within its territory. Prior to submitting suggestions, proposed authors may be approached to determine their willingness to prepare an article and to identify the scope of their topic. However, proposed authors should not be asked to prepare a manuscript until the Bureau notifies the field office that the sug- gestion has been accepted and the article is requested. In contacts with any proposed or potential authors, absolutely no fepresentations should bé madé which.would obligate the FBI to any publishing com mitments since many factors determine which articles received are ultimately published. be In suggesting featured articles, consideration should mainly be given to manuscripts concerning proven programs and techniques of law enforcement which may be of significant value to other agencies. Suggestions should be concerned with training, research, or opera~ tional matters. Avoid items of a "newsletter" nature and matters which have a limited scope of interest in the profession. Ce Hach field office should be alert to exceptional photographs which | ‘ could be recommended for use as a cover for the magazines, The Bureau wishes to project on the Builetin'ts cover the best image of law en- forcement.
