This: instruction by the avccrney General means there -is.no substantive change in provisions for complying with the nondiscrimination program. Manual revisions are being prepared. At this time I want to strongly remind you of the prime importance of insuring that each applicant for any Bureau position—_ is given consideration based entirely on his merit and fitness and without regard for his. race, color, religion, or national origin. In view of the ever-increasing challenges facing the Bureau and our country, it is absolutely imperative that we make the best use ‘of the human resources available so as to assure that our responsi- bilities are discharged in thé best possible manner.

SAC IT TR NO. 61-24 UNITLD STATES DEPARTMENT OF JuoTICE | #EDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION In Reply, Please Refer to (A) NATIONALITY GROUP COVERAGE -- The increasing anti;United States attitudes and demonstrations stemming from the Cuban situation and "sold war" tensions are cause for concern and mist be taken fully into account in connection with our investigative efforts. | April 27, 1961 amulet 25, D. c. ....where has been_recent evidence of hostility and_ t lligerence on the part of pro~Castro Cubans during attempted aterviews by Special Agents. The Bureau has also received data ndicating that the Communist Party of Mexico planned violent action gainst Special Agents of the FBI and Americans in Mexico. Sub- equent data indicated the Communist Party of Mexico planned to prepare black lists of Americans in Mexico, to identify Special Agents of the FBI and agents of the Central Intelligence Agency and place them under surveillance, and to seize Americans and hold them as hostages in the event of war with Russia. Plans were made to conduct surveillances of members of the Communist Party of Mexico suspected of being informants. A war of nerves was contemplated involving planned damage to property and sabotage with wide-scale sabotage efforts planned in the event of war, 4neluding the organization, arming and training of militia from farm and labor elements to be used to defend Cuba if necessary. This hostility and the grave steps contemplated undoubtedly “were touched off as a part of an emotional reaction to the invasion ' Of Cuba by anti-Castro elements. They are, however, clear evidence of what we should be prepared to contend with now and in the event ~ anti-United States tensions increase. The planned actions of the Communist Party of Mexico demonstrate forcefully the capacity of a subversive organization to react militantly to an emergency Situation. The activities of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee in the United States reveal clearly the capacity of a nationality Group organization to mobilize its efforts in such a situation 80 as to arrange demonstrations and influence public opinion. Each Special Agent in Charge should assure that investi- gations and interviews related to nationality group activity are conducted with due caution and careful consideration of the safety of personnel handling this work. Care should be taken not to . Provoke hostility. Border offices should be particularly cautious in view of the militant hostility and reported plans of the Com- munist Party of Mexico. . ; The existing situation is such that alk field offices must be most alert to the possibility of demonstrations by nationality groups which could lead to incidents involving

(B) .PERFORMANCE RATINGS -- A review of the annual performance ratings recently submitted clearly indicates that rating and reviewing officials have not completely familiarized themselves with instructions set out in the Manual of Rules and Regulations, Part I, Section 5, pertaining to performance ratings. Further- more, .in evaluating employee performance many rating and review- ing officials have failed to give due consideration to such ‘ importent matters. as disciplinary action, limited duty, voluntary overtime and the. weight program. It was obvious some ratings -had been written without sufficient preparation and care and had not been thoroughly reviewed before being transmitted to the Bureau. This resulted in needless delay in processing the ratings, as well as in unnecessary correspondence. ' Responsibility for the proper evaluation of employee performance and the ac- curacy of performance ratings rests with the rating and reviewing officiais and hereafter they will be held strictly accountable for every error, deviation from instructions and failure to * properly evaluate the employee's performance. — The following are some of the items which have been the source of considerable correspondence and are being set forth for your future guidance. NW 35044 Doold:i 32989526 Page 831
(1) Failure to give due consideration to administrative action taken against an employee during the rating period. Certainly an employee who has been the recipient of several letters of censure or has been the subject of more severe administrative action during the rating period is not entitled to an adjective rating of Excellent. (2) Failure to give due consideration to the physical condition of an employee. It should be obvious that a Special Agent who has been on limited duty during the greater portion of the rating period is not entitled to a satisfactory rating in physical fitness nor is he entitled to more than a Satisfactory adjective rating since he cannot perform all of the. duties required of a Special Agent and his assignments must be controlled. It is the personal responsibility of the rating and reviewing ‘officials to insure that employees with physical limitations are properly rated. te (3). Some rating and reviewing officials have not given due consideration to the employee's efforts to comply with the Bureau's weight standards and to equitably share the work load. It is difficuit for the Bureau to understand how an employee who has not complied with the weight standards or whose overtime has been consistently below the office average can.be- rated excellent” or outstanding in attitude. . (4) There have been a number of instances in which ratings afforded employee on the rating guide and check list and/or the narrative comments have not supported the adjective rating afforded the employee. In some instances the ratings on the rating guide and check list have been inconsistent with the narrative comments. The fact that an employee is rated ‘excellent or outstanding on the majority of the items on the rating guide and check list does not automatically entitle him to an Excellent adjective rating. It should be obvious that although 411 of the items on the rating guide and check list are important, some of the items, such as attitude,,. ‘Judgment, .Anitiative, accuracy, industry, productivity; knowledge of duties, investigative ability, development of informants.and: sources of information and reporting ability, are. of particulan- importance in evaluating employee performance and must be carefully con- Sidered in arriving at the adjective rating. soos (5) There have been a number of instances in which the ratings on the subelements on such items as’ investigative Sse ale a ota ee ee a 5/23/61 | . : SAC LETTER NO. 61-28 ~2. _MW 55044 Docld: 32999526 “Page 832 ; ability, reporting, ability, executive ability and ability on raids
and dangerous assignments did not support the over-all rating on the particular element. If an'employee is to be rated excellent on any one of these elements he must be rated excellent or outstanding on the majority of the subelements or the nar- -pative comments must clearly reflect the reason why the employee ts-considered excellent. in—-the—particutar—item:>—tf-an-employee is to be rated outstanding on one cf these elements he must be rated outstanding on each of the subelements in which he is rated. (6) In some instances the narrative comments were not complete or the information submitted was misleading. In this regard the Manual of Rules and Regulations specifically sets out information which must be included and questions which must be answered. Rating officials who have followed the format and answered the questions outlined in the Manual have experienced little difficulty in the preparation of performance ratings; how- ever, those who erroneously assume a complete knowledge of the regulations invariably submit incomplete and inaccurate ratings. Particular attention must be given to the specific comments required: on police instructors; ‘sound men, rcotident agents, accountants, language ability, disciplinary action and admini- strative advancement to insure that complete and accurate information is set out. In regard to disciplinary action it is imperative that the rating official set out each item of | — administrative action, including the date of the action and the reason for it, and specifically note the items on the "rating guide and check list which have been affected by the action. (7) If an employee is a relief supervisor and has been used in this capacity during the rating period he should ‘be rated on item 21, executive ability, and if he ‘has not been used in this capacity during the rating period the narrative comments should so indicate. (8) In those cases in which there has been a deterioration in the employee's performance’ or serious defi~ | ciencies are noted it is fhe responsibility of the rating and reviewing officials to submit a cover memorandum with the rating setting out recommendations for appropriate action. (9) It is imperative that ratings be prepared in sufficient time to reach the Bureau by the due date which is reflected in the Manual.of Rules and Regulations and that a " Pabing be submitted on each employee when due.

NATIONALITZ GROUP COVERAGE - CUBA -- The failure of the recent invasio: attempt by Cuban rebel forces has a¢dentuated the problem of investigating anti-Castro and. pro-Castro groups and individuals in the United States. In addition to dis- charging our security and criminal responsibilities we are . faced with the necessity of acquiring and providing lother agencies informative and valid intelligence data relative to the objectives and activities of both factions as: well as data regarding key personalities. Key field offices handling Cuban natters have been instructed previously to give continuous and. preferred attention to all phases OF Ciiban activity. In order to discharge these investigative and intelligence responsibilities with maximum effectiveness it is essential that particular attention be afforded the develop- ment on a broadly expanded basis of sources and informants in a position to provide knowledgeable data regarding pro-Castro and anti-Castro activities. The need for broadened coverage in the anti-Castro field by the FBI is quite evident when it is recognized there is as yet no firm indication of the extent of guidance and direction, if any, which will be afforded anti- Castro activity in'the United States by other agencies of the .

' (¥) CUBAN INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES IN THE UNITED STATES -- The Castro regime has received a tremendous boost as a result of its defeat of the anti-Castro forces during the recent invasion of Cuba. Castro's prestige has risen not only among his; followers in this country but also throughout many of the Central and South ‘American countries. His followers in the United States have kbonefited prestigewise from his victory and as a result we have ‘ad a resurgence of pro-Castro activities, particularly invotvin he Fair Play for Cuba Committee. We can expect this activity to increase, particularly in the intelligence. and propaganda fields. One of the major problems in our Cuban work is that of intelligence activities. Heretofore Cuban intelligence activities in this country have been aimed primarily at the various anti- Castro groups. The continued drift of Cuba into the Soviet orbit and the continued dependence of the Cuban Government upon Russia and its satellite countries for economic and military assistance could conceivably result in the undertaking by Cuban intelligence of activities against the United States itself. We must be prepared to meet any such threat. Perhaps the most effective means of fighting this Cuban - Intelligefice" problem is through good source; informant’and double -- + agent. coverage. Since the break.in United States - Cuban relations in January, 1961, we have been hampered to some degree by our loss of special coverage on Cuban diplomatic establishments in Miami,” New York and Washington, D. C. Other sources have compensated for. this loss to some degree; however, we cannot fulfill our obligations . unless there is a continuing effort to develop new sources, informants and double agents who can keep us abreast of developments in the Cuban intelligence field. One phase of this coverage which warrants special mention is that of double agents. There is a definite need for improvement in this type coverage and the Bureau expects key offices involved . in Cuban work to lead the way in the development and utilization of double agents. The Bureau believes that the present time would be ideal to infiltrate double agents into the pro-Castro ranks. Individuals utilized could use approach that although they have been anti-Castro in the past they are now disenchanted with the leaders of the various anti-Castro groups; they do not agree with the United States role in the recent invasion of Cuba by anti-Castro forces; and they now feel that Castro's policies are best for Cuba. One special segment of present anti-Castro individuals who might be utilized along these lines are those who have recently returned from 5/29/61 ee SAC Lipper NO. 61-29 -3-
1 i i t anti-Castro training camps abroad. These individuals might have a special appeal to the pro-Castro forces since many of these individuals are ostensibly disheartened by the recent unsuccessful invasion of Cuba. The problem of Cuban intelligence activities can be __- __golyed_only if _the field offices involved afford these cases vigorous investigative attention and havé’ coverage which will supply needed data. The Bureau expects that field offices . 4nvolved in Cuban work will keep on top of this situation not only that we may discharge our own investigative responsibilities put also that we may develop intelligence data of special, interest to other Government agencies. : Very truly yours, John Edgar Hoover Director. ..._... »°. 5/29/61 SAC LETTER NO. 61-29 ep kee Phe MW 55044 Docld: 32999526 Page 42 a

As a result, other agencies, particularly the Internal Revenue are also being investigated under our Criminal Intelligence Program. You will already have disseminated to Internal Revenue Service information received indicating a possible tax violation on the vart of these subjects. If Internal Revenue Service or another Federal investigative agency seeks further information from you, there is no. objection to your disseminating such information under ‘the provisions of the manual section previously referred to provided, of course, such dissemination will in no way interfere with the Bureau's interests. Where time is of the essence or where the.information to be disseminated is relatively simple, there is.no objection to this ~ Gissemination being made orally. A proper record should be made in your file covering such dissemination. If, however, the material is voluminous, an. appropriate dissemination memorandum should be prepared in keeping with “existing instructions and. copies of Such * memoranda should be supplied-to the Bureau. You will, of course, recognize that as your investigation progresses additional information which should be disseminated may be developed. It would also appear that as you are advised by Internal Revenue Service or another Federal investigative agency as to develon- ments in its investigation of a subject, information in your file not previously disseminated may become sufficiently pertinent tor ‘warrant further dissemination by you. Ce The Bureau is cooperating wholeheartedly with the. Attorney General's drive on organized crime and to this end desires each Special Agent in Charge to insure that all information which should be disseminated to another Federal investigative agency is promptly forwarded to that agency in line with the manual instructions previously cited. . aa 6/6/o. . : an . _.

The free exchange of ideas and investigative te: wmniques gained through experience in criminal intelligence me .ters proved beneficial to-att in attendance. The following were some of the major areas covered in ‘ 1ese discussions: ; EROPOSED LEGISLATION Keen interest was evidenced in some of the provisions of proposed legislation which would enable the Bureau to carry current investigations to a logical prosecutive conclusion. It was emphasized that the Bureau‘must now lay necessary groundwork in contemplation of the passage of proposed legislation in order that we will be in a position to move swiftly and efficiently ~-~when_our responsibilities in this field are extended Ghrough a broadening of our jurisdiction. De ~ My were em t - Proposed legislation to combat organized crime and racketeering, now before Congress, comprises generally. eight proposals which will either create new legislation or extend — current legislation over which the Bureau has investigative , jurisdiction. Proposed legislation covering interstate and foreign travel in support of racketeering enterprises would prohibit travel in interstate or foreign. commerce for the purpose of ‘distributing the proceeds of any unlawful activity; committing © any crime of violence to further any unlawful activity; or other- wise promote, manage, establish, carry on, or facilitate the promotion, management, establishment, or carrying on of any unlawful activity. The term unlawful activity is defined as’ any enterprise involving gambling, liquor, narcotics, or prostitution offenses or extortion or bribery in violation of Federal or state laws. A proposed amendment to the Obstruction of Justice statute would broaden this statute to make it a violation for any individual by force, threats, or injury to endeavor to intimidate any person who had furnished information to, or from whom information had been sought, by any investigative agency .

a, BROADENING OUR INTELLIGENCE BASIS It was concluded at these conferences that we must extend our intelligence coverage through the various echelons in the organized underworld to complement highly concentrated coverage we have attained and are perfecting on the top leaders of organized crime in this country. Our investigations have identified the top - ———mmen-to~date-as—fatling—cenerally in-older age groups. When these _ leaders are removed by prosecution, death, or normal underworld : attrition, it will be necessary to be aware of the makeup of the younger element who will replace them. Our position, both from an intelligence standpoint and in consideration of future prosecution, will be greatly enhanced if we obtain this broader coverage | of hoodlum groups at various levels. In view of the possibility of our jurisdiction being extended to cover interstate gambling operations, it is also. important that we develop a well-rounded picture of the integral functions of major gambling operations which would be of interest under the Interstate Gambling Activities classification. This will _ require that all offices are fully aware of the makeup, operational ' detail, and ~éoritrol of large scale: gambling operations. within their areas making use of interstate wire communication facilities for gambling purposes. As previously pointed out, these investigations ‘will be aimed primarily at the top gamblers and hoodlums in control of such operations, and we cannot under any circumstances conduct investigation of a legitimate news service or other completely legitimate communications firm. : . bat ; Other special groups which should be designated for special attention are labor racketeers who are influencing or controlling “. - labor unions, either directly or through intermediaries, and hoodlums  — - Who specialize in the domination of racket activities on the United States water fronts. can -“INFORMANTS AND CONFIDENTIAL SOURCES , ‘It was generally agreed that the most. productive and: valuable coverage achieved to date in the Criminal Intelligence -Program has been through the establishment of highly confidential sources in key locations. Such sources have provided insight -- into the organized hoodlum element which was unavailable through other means. From results obtained to date, there can be no question that such sources are invaluable and that-our efforts should be concentrated on the &stablishment of additional -comparable Sources in order to afford a more complete picture of the inner workings and relationships of various hoodlum groups. A <9 57 <7 SAC LETTER No. 61-31. ~9- — IN ess atk LMW-55044 Docld:32989526 Page 850
Experience has shown that the most completeland . intelligible information is obtained from a combination of highly confidential sources and live informants. Each operates as an invaluable adjunct to the other, as demonstrated by same of the best criminal intelligence operations we have in existence in various cities to date. Fragmentary information obtained from a highly ‘confidential source, when interpreted and further identified through v:ll-placed live informants, has become meaningful and extremely ; ignificant in our tracing of~noodium-activities. -—Conversely.— -solated bits of information initially furnished by live informants, when fully exploited through the establishment of a highly confidential source, have proven extremely valuable in filling in our picture of underworid activities. For these reasons, the importance of both of these types of sources cannot be overemphasized, and every effort should. be made to improve our coverage in both areas. With regard to the development of new live informants, you should be constantly alert and ready to fully exploit any opportunity offered to develop as.informants highly placed members _of the organized hoodlum element. It is recognized that the development of ‘such’ aii -individual may result in unusual .conditions or requests being presented by the potential informant. Such situations should be evaluated in proportion to the individual's potential value in this program, and the possibility of developing a live source on an upper level of the organized hoodlum element _ should not be dismissed arbitrarily. COORDINATION OF INFORMATION OFFERING PROSECUTIVE POTENTIAL AND DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION Among topics of primary importance discussed at these conferences was the goal whereby our criminal intelligence investi- gations will reach their culmination in successful’ prosecution of the leaders of organized crime. It is of paramount importance to oo understand that our current investigations must be coordinated and Bot reported in such a way to provide the Department with necessary bases for prosecution. All information developed which may offer potential violations of statutes covered by other agencies should be promptly disseminated in keeping with existing instructions. Additionally, we must insure that our investigations are intelligently planned and sufficiently thorough that we will develop any possible violation of Federal law over which this Bureau has investigative Jurisdiction. We must also be prepared to take full advantage. of . any new legislation which would provide the Bureau with extended - jurisdiction to effectively combat the organized hood Lum element. a —~ 6/6/61. . . = «SAC LETTER NO. 61-31 000 ge LO et ee wey 8 me oe : S . : - we NW S5044 —Boeied+32539526—_Page fia wees et ee ete
HOODLUM ACCOUNTS IN SWISS“BANKS The problem of tracing hoodlum funds was discussed, and it was determined that information has been developed in a number of offices that top hoodlums are using numbered accounts in Swiss -banks to maintain concealed cash reserves. Extreme difficulty has been experienced in developing full information concerning such _____ aecounts_because of Swiss laws _euaranteeing.tne secrecy..of .these — accounts. In such instances, where it appears that a subject is dealing with foreign banking institutions, investigation should be conducted at correspondent banks in this country to determine if records of pertinent transactions may be available at the correspondent bank. THUMBNAIL SKETCHES : Discussion concerning the availability of a ready reference on hoodlums under investigation madé it apparent that there is a need to maintain in each office a brief sketch on all hoodlum subjects under investigation throughout the Bureau. This investigative aid would list an up-to-date description, aliases, eriminal: associates, cnd other descriptive data, together with a brief documentation of the hoodlum. This sketch would be valuable in coordinating hoodlum investigation between field offices and in ‘the preparation of reports. You will be advised in the near future _ of the mechanics of maintaining this Bureau-wide list of hoodlums- under investigation. It was also concluded during these discussions that all investigations of the organized hoodlum element will be referred to under the caption "Criminal Intelligence Program" and that the use of the caption "Top Hoodlum Program" in communications on _ these matters should be discontinued. This series of conferences demonstrated that our Criminal Intelligence Program has to date developed excellent coverage of the upper level organized criminal élement in Specific areas, and that this desired coverage must be extended throughout the country. This must be done to insure that the - Bureau has a continuing broad and comprehensive picture of the activities of the organized hoodlum element in the United States.

Since it is a cardinal rule of evidence that conversations Sager between a subject and his attorney are in the nature of Brivileged - communications, technical and microphone surveillances in operation on Communist Party functionaries arrested for violation of the Smith Act of 1940 were discontinued immediately following such arrests. Notwithstanding this fact, the possibility was recognized that occasions might arise when conversations between subjects and their attorneys, or between the attorneys themselves, might be - intercepted by technical or microphone surveillances which continued in operation on unrelated individuals and/or organizations. ; Accordingly, the field was instructed in referenced No Number SAC Letter J that should such conversations occur, they were to be completely disregarded by the employees assigned to technical and micraphone surveillance coverage. Such conversations were not to be monitored and no record whatever was to be made of their occurrence. While it is true that the Department has not as yet furnished the identities of those Party officers or members who will -be prosecuted should they fail to register, the Supreme Court decision is being widely discussed in Party circles and it is possible that Party leaders and/or members may be in communication . with attorneys regarding defense plans and strategy on the possibility an indlotment might be returned against the Party as an organization Or against themselves as individuals. Therefore, the instructions ee. out in No Number SAC Letter J are being reiterated and emphasized

KIDNAPING AND MAJOR CASES DUTIES OF #1 MAN The #1 Man is the immediate assistant to the Inspector or person in charge of the case and serves in the capacity of executive officer, taking whatever action is necessary to implement the instructions of the Inspector. . In the absence of the Inspector or official in charge, the #1 Man is to supervise and be in charge of the entire investigation. To carry out this responsibility there must be a close working arrangement between the Inspector and the #1 Man so that both are fully informed at all times. ] Generally the Inspector should see everything coming in on the case, including memos, letters and other communications, while outgoing communications can usually be handled by the #1 Man. | Of course, any outgoing communication of importance or unusual | _ Significance would be brought to the Inspector's attention. In addition, the #1 Man reviews all incoming material prior to the assignment of leads and preparation of lead cards so that he has a complete knowledge of all the facts. in the case and the action being taken to develop further information.

REPORT WRITING The work of a report writer on a special assignment falls into three general categories: 1. Assembling and: preparing reports on the case. 2. Preparation of a daily teletype summary to the Bureau. 3. Other special projects assigned by the Inspector or > Agent in charge of the case. | Ie REPORT WRITING . Generally speaking, reporting investigation conducted by a special squad follows the reporting procedures set forth in the Manual for other cases. However, there are certain suggestions which can ~“w a be followed which will facilitate the report writing. . L. Do not wait to write long reports on a variety of - subjects. It makes for better reports and is easier for referénce purposes to limit each report to one phase of the investigation or even a part of one phase. For instance, the first report ina - Kidnaping case might well cover the predication and initial investigation, another report cover the investigation at the crime scene, another on the background of the victim and family, another on miscellaneous suspects and other reports on various phases of the investigation as they develop. It is probable that near the end of the investigation, as the case begins to come to a close, reports Will be written covering a variety of subjects. Mace ‘ deme oe . » Wi 556d —Peeid+32989526 Page 880
2. Even though it may seem unnecessary at the beginning, a table of content for each report will prove helpful, The more that the table of contents is set out in detail, the more helpful it will be. 3. Because of the manner in which leads are assigned, it is unnecessary and actually of no use to set out leads in reports ~evenn Veneta written while the case is being handled by the special squad. A short statement that leads are not being’ set output are being — assigned and handled as developed should appear in the administrative section ot each report. | 4... Dissemination of copies of reports ‘to other offices will depend on the circumstances of each case. Tf the case appears to have nation-wide ramifications, it would be well to send one’ "copy of each report containing the basic facts to each office so that it will not be necessary to repeat this information as later leads are set out by teletype or airtel. In some cases, this dissemination can be limited to offices in the general area of the country surrounding the office of origin. In any event, it is not necessary to provide widespread dissemination of later reports fen coe Had Oe ep eRe tiny Marth gee aaa ated dealing with specific: projects as the investigation progresses.

; _ 5. heads for other offices will usually be set out by © ' telephone, teletype, airtel or letter. While ather! offices should be expected to advise the results of their investigation by a similar communication, they should also be_instructed to report the results of their investigation in regular report form. It would be a mistake to allow auxiliary offices to RUC investigation by letter or airtel since the office of origin would soon become bogged down in paper work. 6. The office of origin should have additional copies of each report run off for working copies. These can be bound in file covers by the clerks and made readily available to agents on the squad without the necessity of having to charge out a file each time it is necessary to refer to a report. They will also be available for squad members to read in their spare time, if any, in order to familiarize themselves with the case. These working copies should be accounted for and destroyed when the special terminates. The number of working copies prepared will depend on the size of the : Special squad. Four copies have peen found to be sufficient for a squad of from twenty-five to thirty-five men. “Te Usually considerable work will have been performed 4 : i by the office of origin before the special squad arrives. In order 4 that reporting will be uniform and prepared properly, the report - Writer should prepare a memo of reporting instructions to be ee Aha meneninmereetinn ne: Sihitfyermamednneenn ie reeue 6 ; : J WW55044  Doold: 32989526 Page 62
distributed to all agents and stenos immediately upon his arrival. These instructions should be discussed verbally at the first available conference of agents and should also be discussed verbally’ with stenographers in order that any misunderstandings can be clarified. These instructions should include the following items: ta) interviews and. other_investigation conducted which can reasonably be expected to be used as testimony should be reported on an FD-302. In many cases, there has developed a tendency to use an FD-302 in situations where there is only a possibility of the information being used as testimony. This © clutters up the report with a series of disjointed short items. Exercise judgment in the use of an FD-302 and do not use it an indiscriminately. - SR re eae a eae be. Investigation conducted which does not go on an FD-302 should be reported. on a narrative type insert. It is well to begin the insert with a short explanatory statement as to the basis for the investigation conducted. For instance: “John Jones, 312 Main Street, Los Angeles, California, was interviewed by SA Thomas Smith, inasmuch as Jones‘ name had been found on a piece of paper in possession of subject's wife." This not only makes the report clearer but is also of assistance to the report writer in preparation of the report. c. Each narrative type insert should be limited to one subject matter, since as mentioned above, reports will usually be written about one phase of the investigation and each _NW 55044 Docig: 32989526 Page 883 “~~ me 7 ;
report will be broken down into logical sections. The insert should be dictated in a form suitable to go into a report without change or deletion. Do not include administrative matters, etc. ad. All FD-302s and narrative inserts should be prepared on stencils. The steno should be instructed to make two proof sheets since it is sometimes necessary in complicated matters to hand one proof sheet to'an agent for assistance in covering leads suggested by the insert. White proof sheets are easier to read than yellow sheets. e. A3 x 5 card should be attached to each FD-302 or insert which has on it the particular project or phase of the investigation to which it applies. This assists the report writer ; - in segregating the stencils into appropriate sections of the report. £. Each agent should dictate any leads suggested by the insert or FD-302 he is submitting. These should be narrative type lead cards in triplicate with a short statement similar to an . abstract, showing the predication for the lead. See memo on setting ‘up Chief Clerk's Office for example of this type of lead. g- Hach agent should indicate to the steno all rere names, license numbers, serial numbers or any other data which. Vise S Caan, should be indexed and instruct the steno to prepare index cards i _ din duplicate. j 8. Complaints received, suggestions, administrative ‘matters and other similar data which cannot go into a report “ -werbatim should be dictated in memorandum form.

Therefore, a minimum jof original and two copies. | 9. As FD-302s, inserts and memoranda are typed they should be delivered to the Inspector in charge or SAC immediately. He and the number one man will read them and pass them on to the lead supervisor who will remove and handle the lead cards. The Inspector in charge or the lead supervisor will mark memoranda for . routing and they will go to the Chief Clerk for serializing and routing. Stencil FD-302s and narrative type inserts go from the lead supervisor to the report writer. The. report writer shouid then segregate them as to subject matter and use in the preparation of the report. It will be recalled that there will be a duplicate set cf index cards attached to each stencil. Undoubtedly there will be considerable information in the stencils which should be in the special indices in order to be of use. In order to solve this ‘problem, the report.writer will remove one set of index cards and turn them over to the Chief Clerk. These will be "red flashed" by making a small red pencil mark where the serial number would ordinarily appear. This index card will then be filed in the special indices. An agent seeing a "red flash" index card with no serial number will then know that the material indexed is on a stencil in possession of the report writer and can refer to it there. When a report is prepared, the appropriate "red flash"

The other set of index cards which had been attached to the stencil is similarly marked and placed in the regular offipe indices at that time. In other words, in the interval between when a stencil is prepared and when it finally is incorporated > into a report, there is an index card in the special indices with the special red | marking so that all data submitted by the Agents is indexed at ail times with no time lapse. It. DAILY TELETYPE SUMMARY A teletype should ‘be sent to the Bureau each , night summarizing developments which have occurred during the day. This is necessary even though the Bureau might have been informed’ by telephone of developments. This procedure should be followed until the Bureau instructs to the contrary. The report writer should make notes during the day of developments which should be included in charge prior to preparing the summary. IIIT. SPECIAL PROJECTS The report writer is responsible for various “paper work" projects and research which become necessary in a case and which are usually assigned by the Inspector’ in charge. Examples of such projects which have been necessary in some cases are as follows: 1. Memorandum to all Agents outlining certain phases of the case with which they should be acquainted such as description | ao FZ ad
‘ zor various investigative projects being conducted and similar memoranda. 2. Communications to all offices or selected offices outlining investigative projects désiréd and the basis for- them: - 3. Special research and file review projects desired by the Inspector in charge. As an example, in one case an analysis was made of the financial status of subject at the time of the crime based on past earnings and expenses. In another case a chart was prepared of the whereabouts of all subjects for the pertinent period of one week for assistance in interviews and checking their stories. ~~ moe ns 4, When the subject is identified, plans should he made for the preparation of a prosecutive summary report. + It-will assist in the preparation of the report if the report writer keeps ‘a rough draft compilation of evidence developed and the names of | potential witnesses so that when the time comes for the preparation of the report much of the data will be available in outline form. Summary reports are often required with a minimum of notice and this procedure will assist in expediting the preparation. ¥ 27 Teeeeun mand sanecammmsonamansat atimninttaran Lantana dias gaara A real ak ill RIE RR SEAS "Wah Ba ascr  cAR ACR aENCSSAGSRGT Sh oa rs ARE eetnheeewtene yp TREES apunceen ce “ P4 é t 5 ay i po2S89526 Page 837 .
SUBMITTED BY SA CHARLES: G.

OBTAINING FUNDS NEEDED With the apparent ever-increasing amount of ransom meney being demanded which is usually in currency of small denominations and in consideration of the limited time element presented under the twenty-four iol pr estinptive clause and Tarther an considération that the Subject may - make a payoff request within a very few days after the abduction, it has become increasingly clear that obtaining funds in the quantity and type needed for the best interest of the investigation is a major problem of paramount | importance. Consistent with suitable banking arrangements available common -cand/or-desirable to the victim's-family and-the Burcau casé and depending. - - on the amount and type of currency needed, an early conference with a ‘member of the family and/or their banking representative should be held to determine identities of persons who are responsible on the family side for preparation of the ransom money and whether the proper type of currency | is readily available in amounts needed. If not, immediate steps should be taken to obtain such money: it being sometimes necessary to obtain funds from other Federal Reserve Districts. Here, working directly with a Federal Reserve Bank can be very advantageous. If it is necessary ta sort a large volume of currency to insure that all bills. are of particular denomination of the ransom money or of the Same type and series, much more currency than the amount specified in the '....*.yansom demand-will-be needed. > © 900 ee Re es NW 55044 Docld: 32989526 Page #69 °

"It was found in one recent case where the ransom demanded — was five hundred thousand dollars in ten and twenty dollar bilis that the local bank, although quite a sizable institution, could not supply these funds, let alone in bills of the same Federal Reserve District as is some- times desirable. Neither could the local Federal Reserve Bank of this | district supply the necessary funds of the type needed. - Calls to other Federal Reserve Banks determined they had no such amounts on hand of the same series or type. | | Finally, to assemble the required amounts in ten and twenty dollar denominations, the local Federal Reserve Bank had to obtain funds -!* he x ‘ . f + tore eo, ae ate toons, . ae ‘ wt a as bd a a) not ay wth oe -2- a - eens se NEE ee nn Si ¥ Cee Deena Red eh Sanne
from another unit of the Federal Reserve System totaling some one and one-half million dollars which, when combined with a like’ amount on hand, provided the sorting staff with sufficient currency to make up the ransom amount in bills of the desired type. | rr Here, the cooperation between Federal Résérvé Banks _ enabled the delivery by plane of the requested amount from a city some seven hundred miles distant in a matter of approximately four and one- half hours. | . PHOTOGRAPHING THE RANSOM MONEY. - It is believed experience has shown that automatic feed - -Recordak equipment oi a type having-an cdometer counter and-which will: - handle paper of the texture of used currency, is most satisfactory for photographing the ransom currency. The counter provides a check of the ~ number of bills photographed in a given package and will provide an alert if there is an inaccurate count. . It is considered absolutely necessary that, as soon as it is determined, the preparation. of a ransom and a ransom list may be or is necessary, steps be taken threugh the nearest Recordak representative to ‘make one or more of these machines available for installation at a suitable scene cf operations, preferably away from either the Bureau Field Office or any temporary Bureau headquarters set up on the case.

we bank through whic . the ransom money is being prepared. In this connection and in the interest of security and secrecy; a Fedetal Reserve Bank, if one is in the vicinty, may offer the best advantages from several standpoints, namely: “1) Ifa large sum must be assembled of a-certain-kind-of currency, it would probably not be on hand at any one private banking institution and may have to be obtained through the Federal Reserve Bank. | . -2) Banking connections of prominent families are usually known to many bank employees and may be known to t the press. These individuals may..exhibit an interest in the ransom money preparation which cculd pessibly be detrimental to the investigation and which could probably be avoided if a Federal Reserve Bank is used. | — 3) In all probability considerable night work will be necessary for several dozen persczs. They can be “assembled at a Federal Reserve Bank without arousizg the curiosity cf outsiders more effectively than at a private bank, particularly where it is known the family has its banking interests. The mere obtaining and installation of the proper type of recording equipment dces not insure a successful phetographic operation. The mechanical adjustments on the machine, particularly the feeding mechanism where used currency is the subject material, is very critical.

| _ Tae Recordak representative should effect these adjustments, photograph a trial number of bills which should be processed immediately to insure proper operation. In this connection and in the actual operation of photographing ___the ransom money, attention is invited to instructions set forth in the Manual of Instructions concerning the obtaining of a clearance from the United States Secret Service before photographing money. The Recordak representative should also provide training and instructions to the individuals who will operate the equipment on the loading, changing and removal of film reels. These photographers or operators should be banking employees working under the guidance of Bureau agents. Exposed film should be identified as follows: 1) Before photographing each package of one hundred bills, a photo of a 3 x 5 card should be taken on which is : a clearly shown the name of the bank employee, photographer, date and ' identity of the case. 2) Each reel of film sent to the FBI Laboratory, whether developed or me rely exposed, should be handled by Agents as evidence. If the film is only exposed this should be plainly indicated on the package containing this particular reel to avoid accidental exposure because there may not be another opportunity to photograph this portion of the money again. .- BW 55044 DoolId: 32989526 Page 8593
* Fapmbb orbs a AAAs pe eaee TMB | , | : | It is suggested that if facilities are at all available for developing the Recordak film locally that exposed film be immediately processed for the following reasons: | - | | - 1) Will insure that photographing equipment if functioning properly fF tC“(‘s:CCC‘éO i luring the the operation. 2) That operators are efficient. 3) - Will provide immediate opportunity for scanning results in a viewer for partially or completely superimposed bilis, which when photographed were in such position as to obscure portions of or all of the identifying currency serial numbers. Further, it will also indicate instances where for some reason or other, the bill happened to ' be photographed face down, thereby obscuring identifying — characteristics. . 4) Where superimposition is discovered it permits rephotography of that group of one hundred bills which should be done rather than trying to photograph only . the bills involved. . Photographing. of the face of the ransom currency should ‘begin at the earliest possible time and not delayed for the handli sung of the bills. In fact, a bundle of cne hundred bills can be photographed in| | seconds, thus permitting the hand listing to begin virtually simultaneously. : MW S5044 Doold: 329699526 Page 8594
Aetna nee 4 It should be borne in mind that, in the event of an early, unexpected or premature demand for the ransom payoff is made, that the photographic record of the money would be better than none or even better than a partial handwritten list. — If photography-is-the-only-record-available-and-it-is-done——___ with the insertion on the film of proper identifying cards with each package © of one hundred bills such film could be used for identifying the ransom money at a later time and conceivably as evidence in court. HAND LISTING OF BILLS In addition to the instructions set forth in the Manual the ‘following is offered: A lined tablet sheet of approximately legal size and having thirty-three or more lined spaces is suitable for preparing the handwritten ‘list of bills and is usually readily available in most banking institutions . or at local stationery stores. The top margin of this sheet can be used for identifying data and by drawing two vertical lines down through the lined spaces, the sheet can be divided into three columns, each with thirty-three lined spaces for recording bill serial numbers. This gives spaces for ninety- nine bills of the one hundred bill package. } |

As of possible aid to the data processing secticn in reconciling possible errors and discrepancies, the following is suggested: ' The 3x 5 card bearing the identifying data as to file number, beginning of each "bundle" of ten packages of currency and also photographed . again before each package of bills are photographed. ‘This card could have, sayin the left lower corner, ‘the. Romaa numera.l I followed by a small Arabic numeral 1 arid photographed prior to the rinning of the first package of one hundred bills.

For the second bundle of ten packages the Roman numeral It would be used and the Arabic system 1 through 10 repeated. _ This system could also be repeated for each denomination of bills processed. . Care should be taken that the 3 x 5 cards are not included with the ransom money when it is finally assembled. Cards should be removed at the time the handlisting operation occurs and not replaced on the bundles. retrieved before the ransom money is packaged. In a recent case where time was limited and‘in order to be certain the photography was beng properly handled, exposed film was processed immediately after exposure by the local Recordak agency. ‘Since there was the possibility all handwritten lists would not be cempleted before a pay-off demand came, in which case it was conceivable the film might be the only evidentiary record of the money, the film was escorted through the Recordak processing laboratory by the bank employee who did. the photography and who could appear as a competent witness if need be. It is suggested that after the photography and preparation of the handwritten list has been in progress for say, three hours, a check be a made to determine the amount of work. accomplished which would then -li- @MwW 55044 Docld:32989526 Page 899
give an estimate of approximately when completion of the ransom none, processing could be expected. This check could be made repeatedly . throughout the operation insofar as is considered necessary and would serve as a barometer by which it could be told whether or not more employees and machines are needed. It also will provide information which can be furnished the Bureau as to about when it could expect to receive the films and handwritten lists. NW 55044 Docld: 32989526 Page 800 Saroes
TECHNICAL INSTALLATIONS IN VICTIN'S HONE The victim's residence was served by a private telephone dine which traveled underground from the road to the residence,. entering the residence in a crawl space located underneath the bedroom areas of the house. There were four extension telephones, one in victim's wife's bedroom, one in the bedrodx” occupied by victim's two daughters, one in the kitchen and one in the basement recreation room. Prior to the Bureau's officially entering the investigation on February. 10, 1960, two deputies from the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office had been assigned to the victim's residence by the Jefferson County Sheriff. These deputies had connected a recorder to the telephone extension located in the basement recreation room by taping the microphone of the recorder to the ear piece of the telephone handset. Arrangements had been made with the person ‘designated to answer the telephone to pick up the handset of the upstairs extension at the end of the third ring, at which time one of the deputies would turn the recorder on and lift the receiver ‘of the recreation room’extension telephone. The sound-trained Agent went to victim's residence on the evening of February 10, 1960. A 1948 Ford panel truck was used to take this Agent and the equipment to victim's residence.

This.area of the house was the only place Agents could remain out of sight of visitors visiting members of victim's family. Making the installation in this room made it necessary for the person designated to answer the telephone, one of the victim’s brothers or the brother of victim's wife, to come down to the basement recreation room to answer the telephone when it rang. The other three extension telephones were disconnected in the terminal bLock located in the crawl space under the house. This was done to prevent anyone trom picking up the handset of one of the telephone extensions located on the main floor of the house while a telephone call was being received on the kidnap telephone installation, thus _ -@ausing a disturbance on the lane. © 700 .vw. ~2- Dod: 32989526 Page S302
| Folicwing discussion, with victim's wife boarding the plans for the famil: during the time the victim was nsoelue victim's wife made arrangements for the children to live elsewhere and she discouraged most of her friends from making visits to her residence. This provided more security for the Agents-and the recording equipment at victim's residence. The kidnap telephone instrument was then moved to victim's wife's bedroom where one Agent remained on duty \ gs ¥ at all times, along with the person designated to answer the telephon The victim's wife's bedroom, in which the kidnap telephone installation was made, was located about 90 feet away from the recreation area at the far end of the house. It was connected to the Magnecord recording equipment in the recreation room and this was accomplished by running a two-conductor wire from the "Bridge In" of the Magnecord amplifier in the recreation room through the furnace room and through the crawl space under the house to victim's wife's bedroon. 'The wire was routed into the room through the hole in the floor used by the’ Telephone Company in the original installation of the telephone extension located in this room and was connected to the transformer attached to the Western Electric 500 telephone \ instrument. <A connection was made from the ground terminal of the transformer to a nearby electrical outlet box. A lineman's test set was connected to the red and green terminals of the telephone connecting block along with the kidnap telephone instrument. The ae switch on the lineman's test set was taped to prevent it from being switched from the monitor position which would have permitted ~ the feeding of extraneous noises on the line. This test set was used * . . “ye veers - rr 5 cet mote ney eg ‘““HW 55044 Doold: 32589526 Page 303 we at : . ‘2 .
by the Agent on duty in this room to listen in on the calls while they were being received and permitted him to give the proper prearranged signals to the person receiving the call. A Magnecord amplifier and two Transport units with a trans fer switch and a voice-operated relay were used in this recording of the telephone calls. Another Magnecord amplifier and two Transpo units were set up next to the ones being used for the recording and a connection made from the "Bridge In" of the Magnecord amplifier in use to the "Bridge In" of the Magnecord amplifier maintained as a stand-by. In the event a failure had occurred in the Magnecord amplifier while a call was being recorded, the recording operation - could have been continued by switching the notor-control ‘switch . . of the Magnecord Transport unit set up as a stand-by to the "forward position." A direct, private, unlisted and nonpubl ished Line had been installed which permitted Agents at victim's residence to communicat directly with Headquarters Office. The instrument at victim's residence was located in the basement recreation room and the instrument at Headquarters Office was located on the desk of the Special Agent in Charge of the Special. When the handset of either of these instruments was removed from the cradle, the other instrument would ring. This arrangenient permitted rapid, direct communication between victim's residence and the Headquarters Office The instrument at victim's residence was located near the recording. +. ‘equipment and the SAC of: the Spécial could listen in, on a telephone ow Gam Siw 55044 Docld:32989526 Page 904 ~ ; i SS te
call at victim's residence while it was being recorded by holding the handset of the telephone instrument, connected to the direct line, near the speaker of the Magnecord amplifier. When a telephone call was received at victim's residence the SAC of the Special or the person designated to remain in charge in his absence was notified by use of the direct line to have the Telephone Company continue the tracing of the call or to discontinue the tracing operation, depending upon the identity of the caller. Locating the recording equipment in the basement recreation room away from the main living area provided security for the recording operation and for the Agent operating the equipment when visitors came to. victim's residence. At the same time, the Agent operating the equipment could provide security for the ransom package containing the $500 ,000 which had been placed in a basement storeroom near the recreation room. An FM radio dispatcher unit was set up in the basement recreation room for the purpose of communicating with Headquarters i Office or with Bureau automobiles, should the occasion arise. This unit was also utilized to est the concealed radio units in the automobile that was to be used by a person handling the ransom package. Radio installations had been made in this car and this - car was stored in victim's residence garage and the radio equipment was tested every 24 hours by the sound-trained Agent on duty at victim's residence. ‘NW 55044 Doold:32989526 Page 905

Plaster of Paris Because of the mountainous and unoccupied: area in which the kidnaping occurred and in which it was felt that if the victim were murdered a body might be buried, shovels, an ax and a pick were also obtained. A heavy hammer and stakes were obtained in anticipation of the necessity of roping off an area for a crime~scene search.
All of the equipment which it was anticipated might be used in the investigation was maintained separately from the regular office equipment so that it could be immediately issued without searching through cabinets or other receptacles before . issuing. Each item of equipment was charged ‘to the Agent to A separate charge~out book was maintained. As kidnaping in COORNAP occurred in February, at the beginning of extremely inclement weather, it was felt that clothing for outdoor surveillance of pay off should be obtained. ‘Contact was made with one of the sporting goods stores and the following items were obtained on a loan pais: Three parkas | Three pair of men's down underpants ’ Three hand warmers One can of fluid for hand warmers One pair of khaki pants Contact was also made with one of the large department stores and the following items which were not available at the sporting goods store, were obtained: Three pair, of insulated boots TD nY SE IreD Or Three pair of quilted, insulated underwear Six pair of wool and cotton socks Three pair of knit wool gloves So iseeyus oo z Oe Wena cnmtetemeer SILT yet enaneees ereenthinendne iin Arete arate 6 - ’ “ eee S5044  Doold: 32589526 Page S12 |
b : NW 35044 Doold: 32989526 Page 913 Two pair of heavy work pants Three hoods for face covering The hand warmers were felt necessary because it was felt that Agents’ hands should be warm and facile in the event of an emergency. In addition, the department store made available the top half of a male mannequin as it was felt that the male mannequin could be dressed in clothing and possibly placed on the front or back seat of an automobile in the event of a pay off or other activity at night. All of these items were obtained on a loan basis, and at the time it was determined that no pay off would be made the articles of clothing were returned without charge to these stores. Arrangements were made with the managers of these _ two stores, and with the managers of hardware, radio and electrica stores, to permit twenty-four hour contact in the event an emergency arose. It was found that the operators of these stores were cognizant of the Coors’ investigation but were not told in an instance that the FBI was actually working on this case. They ‘neither asked for nor were given an explanation for the requests. The individuals operating these stores were all known to the , | Agents of the Denver FBI as reliable persons, and no record of their names was found in the indices. Even though it was probably assumed by them that this request was made as the result a
of the disappearance of Adolph Coors, III, no mention was made of this case in contacting them as publicity had appeared to the effect that the family of the victim had requested all law enforcement agencies to cease investigation, As Agents were on twenty-four hour duty at the office EES ee apraErrersrecv rer oven Nas Set net rage eo eles we . = paneonecentreheeee a ES sd betel S565 — Bage—s for a considerable period of time and thereafter worked extra-— ordinarily long hours, it was considered necessary to have food and coffee available at the office. A coffee percolator was obtained on a loan basis from one of the coffee suppliers. Arrangenents were made for the delivery of food to the office by a restaurant as the building in which the Denver FSI Office is located is locked after regular office hours; and, additionally, local newspapers had reporters posted at the building on a _ twenty-four hour basis. As a consequence, it was necessary for Agents, particularly those coming in on special, to cone to and leave the office space by 2 circuitous route in an effort to avoid being seen by these reporters. These Agents were able to obtain food and return with it to the office. In larger towns the proble: of obtaining food on a twenty-four hour basis is not acute. Ina gsmaller town where twenty-four hour restaurant service is not available, it would probably be uosessary-to lay in a larger stock of food for night consumption or make arrangenents with a restaurant owner to have food availiable on a twenty-four hour basis.
BMG Se mee ee ; automobiles. _ TIT e problem of darkroom facilities did not arise in the Denver Office during the actual investigation of COORNAP while the special was on, but subsequently when it was necessary to prepare a summary report containing numerous blown up ——-photographs,. it. wasdetermined_that_the..darkroom_facilities_of th Denver Office were inadequate. Because this work can be done at night or on weekends, a request was made of the Denver Police Department for the use-of their darkroom. This darkroom was made available and adequately handled the large number of photographs which had to be prepared. The possibility of utilizing police darkrooms should be considered, particularly if headquarters are being set up for an office other than the FBI headquarters city. Agents designated by the Bureau to come to Denver on special in COORNAP from the Salt Lake City, Albuquerque and Butte Offices, brought with them five automobiles which operated on the ‘‘same radio frequency as the Denver Office. It was necessary in . order that these automobiles not be conspicuous that Colorado license plates be obtained. In addition to obtaining these license plates, it was necessary to obtain current brake and light stickers which are placed on windshields of automobiles in Colorado. These itéms were necessary, of course, to conform with Colorado law and so that the cars would not be conspicuous. This should be remembered in the event of specials in cities such as Kansas city where tax stickers are placed in the windshield of Mee a. . wee Ame Be OP PD . wae Mat yew ‘NW 55044 Doold: 32989526 Page 915
. It was felt necessary to designate oneiof the automobiles of the Coors family as the automobile which would probably be used for a pay off. The automobile yhich it was thought could be most easily duplicated was so designated... This was a 1958 Impala owned by Bill Coors, brother to the victin. Contact was made with numerous car dealers in the Denver area but none had in his possession an automobile identical to the car owned by Bill Coors. A Police Captain in a suburban town, who was known to be a used-car salesman on the side, was contacted and he located an automobile similar in appearance. It was. necessary to have this car partially repainted to achieve a two- i: “tone effect and to place a radio aerial on the right front fender. Additionally, it was necessary to remove one dealer's metal identification plate from this car and replace it with a plate _ identical to that appearing on Bill Coors' car. As the possibility existed that the pay off would necessitate a loose surveillance, would occur in the mountainous farm or cattle-raising area of Colorado or in metropolitan Denver, different arrangements had to be made. A taxicab was rented and a taxicab driver's hat was obtained. Arrangements were made for ‘immediate delivery from one of the truck rental firms of a cattle truck or farm truck in the event one was necessary. The taxicab and the Chevrolet Impala, rented to duplicate Bill Coors' car, were both stored at a garage near the office where they could be pel 2" “Obtained on a moment's notice.) cu we ha oe W 55044 Docld:32989526 Page 916 __ .
wh ted me ES Arrangements were also made that if necessary a truck of one of the local public utilities would be availablie for use in the event a stationary surveillance in the city area was necessary. — ~ {fhe automobile of Bill Coors was equipped with the concealed automobile transmitter (CAT). This unit was located under the front seat beneath the seat springs. It was activated by means of the speaker switch of the regular car radio at the lower center of the dash. The microphone was concealed under the speaker grill at the center 6£ the dash. The broadcast receiver of the regular car radio was disabled by removal of a fuse. The antenna of the CAT unit was connected to the exhaust pipe at the left rear of the car and additional antenna was spread under the car body. | _ | In both Bill Coors' car and in the car which simulated it, Randie Talkies were also placed under the front seat and connected by coaxial cable to the regular automobile antenna. This antenna was then regulated to the proper length to handle the Handie Talkie. The speaker of the Handie Talkie was concealed under the seat but was immediately available, and the switch controlling this Handie Talkie was placed in such a position that it could be easily reached by the driver. t i
It was felt necessary to have a car simulating Bill .Coors' car as it was not known if he and his automobile would | be immediately available on a twenty-four hour basis. The simulated car, of course, was always kept available. ___As it was not known if Adolph Coors, III, would be rt returned alive or would bekilled by his kidnaper, the identities of competent physicians were determined in Denver and the ee Oe surrounding counties. These individuals can usually be determined either through personal contact of the Agents in the office or through contact with the various local law enforcement agencies," The same is true of autopsy surgeons who are usually Known to Local law enforcement officers or coroners. It should also be borne in mind that it possibly may be necessary to obtain the identities of coroners in areas considered pertinent to the investigation. In the COORNAP case these men were contacted early in the investigation and their cooperation solicited, It was found that each was cooperative and indicated that he would -. not notify the papers or other publicity media, realizing the necessity of a thorough crime-scene search before the public invaded the area. Timetables of the various public transportation facilities were obtained, but arrangements were also made with ranking officials at various airlines in Denver to bump passengers in the event that was necessary in the handling of COORNAP. _ i . ame See RS Se a ee Cre Lote cet Caetano lar ete . ee ete Fe ne tee Be EP at SE grat Conn eran Mee a oe be ee 8 aE oe ett ne re te at BS ee we + eee . 2 ir es feet eS ees FL re ese 1 oh wt tee Thon te Be eg a Rie AP ava tee oe, ore a wee ’ NW 55044 Docld: 32988526 “Page<91—--e err e e eee een repel
Joseph Corbett had toid friends that he hunted in the Golden Gate Canyon area northwest of Golden, Colorado. Inasmuch as a yellow Mercury was earlier reported as pertinent in this | investigation and prior to its discovery burned on a dump in New Jersey, investigation was conducted in Colorado in an effort to locate this car. As the car was reported a bright yellow in color, use was made of a slow flying airplane to search the Golden Gate area, and also the area contiguous to victim's home and the bridge from which he disappeared. Consideration was given to use of a helicopter. This type of machine was not used, however because of danger in the high rugged mountain area where up drafts cad “er , oR ase ras . tee eee Te and down drafts might have easily. wrecked the plane. The aircraft was obtained through the services of a Colonel with the U. S. Air “Force who was also the liaison man with the Civil Air Patrol. As it was felt that Corbett might demand payment of ransom in the mountainous area with which he was reported familiar, contact was made with stables for the rental of horses. In addition, it was felt that guides might be necessary and contact was made with State Game Wardens, U. S. Forestry Service Rangers and particularly with some of the old-time prospectors and wood cutters in the mountainous area. These men were constantly available for assistance. In COORNAP demand was made for $500,000 ransom. The : only communication received did not specify the type of coritainer \ ita the money should be placed in..

16 3/4" by 124, was found to hold the demanded ransom in mixed bills. A footiocker of this sort, not metal, was|obtained from a local manufacturer. A hole was cut in the center of the bottom of the footlocker so that the. switch of the ransom decoy package f= “would fit within this-hote. The—switch-was—built—up-so_that_it would protrude beyond the side of the footlocker. A cloth similar to the cover used on the footlocker was obtained from the manufacturer and substituted for the cloth torn when the hole was cut in the bottom of the footlocker, This cloth was placed on the footlocker loosely so that it would not activate the switch. The footilocker was then packed with seventy. pounds of newspaper’ which was the-approximatse weight.of the. bills. ..The ransom ‘decoy package was placed in the footiocker so that it would _be in an off position when the footLlocker was resting on its. bottom. In order to obtain additional transmitting range, a loop - antenna was placed around the inside of the trunk lid. This was made of two turns of Belden indoor aerial wire; a condenser was connected in series with the loop to tune it. This condenser was mounted at the center of the back edge of the lid of the. footlocker in place of a rivet which was removed.

As twenty~five Agents were sent to the Denver Office on special, it was necessary to obtain maps for these Agents in order to facilitate their becoming acquainted with the area, This required obtaining regular State maps which are obtainable through service stations, and also maps of the City of Denver |. and surrounding Suburbs. Before the discovery of the -skeleton--— remains of Adolph Coors, III, a detailed search was made of the We AS en ee — mountainous area where the Laboratory stated samples of soil ‘found under the car destroyed by Corbett, originated. A contact was made with the Geological Survey for quadrangle maps of the entire mountain area, and the maps were obtained and supplied to the Agents making this search. These maps were coordinated | 7 with county maps obtainable througli the Siate Highway Department. - A team of four Agents was assigned to each quadrangle map area . ‘which covered approximately seventy miles. These Agents were instructed to travel every road in the quadrangle and talk to all - residents, and to search all mines, buildings, caves or other places where a body might be concealed. ~ Nine stenographers and clerks were sent to the Denver Office on this special. It was necessary to obtain office equipment for these employees. This equipment was obtained primarily from the General Services Administration on a loan or rental basis.

In order to keep both Agents anchoring the line in contact with the office, the men anchoring the line each carried a Motorola pocket receiver and transmitter.

PREPARING TO GO INTO VICTIM'S HOME In preparation for going into the victim's home, it is |_ _essential that all information available relative to the entire case, as known as of that time, be obtained as well as background of family and i conditions in the residence. Some consideration should be given to wearing apparel. The following are a few of the items which were found to be useful: Washable, quick dry underwear Respectable pair of lounging shoes with soles. that will not make excessive noise when walking around the house Adequate sleeping garments Personal toilet items.

First contact at the residence was made with JAMES GRANT, a lawyer and the brother of MARY coors, victim's wife. He advised that a number of family friends were visiting and that the four COORS' children and some of their friends were in the house. Other friends were expected to arrive. During the a!

MARY COORS joined the latter part of the conversation with GRANT and it was explained to them that it was necessary now to have-more privacy in the residence. It was agreed the guests would be excused. ' Shortly thereafter, the guests left. The Agents were shown through the residence for the purpose of familiarizing them with it. For a detailed description of the house, blueprints were obtained and are probably still available in the Denver Office. LNW 55044 Dooid:is2589526 Page 926
Briefly the house may be described as located in a rather remote mountain. side location, outside of a suburban community of Denver, known as Morrison, Colorado. The residence is not in direct view of any other habitation, but is situated in the: foothills in such a manner that it could be watched from numerous locations in higher surrounding terrain. The house itself is large with four bedrooms on the main floor. Three of the bedrooms inline. Adjacent to the "main entrance there is a stairwell down to a daylight basement of considerable proportions. The bedroom on the extreme end of the _ =e “~ Tifie of bedrooms is @ large room with private heath and dressing room... . It was normally occupied by Mr. and Mrs. COORS. The two bedrooms in line, separated by a bath and adjoining the master bedroom, were ~~ occupied by the two COORS' girls and the other one by the two COORS' boys. The fourth bedroom on the first level was separated from these and normally unoccupied. The remaining space upstairs composed of a large living room, dining room, kitchen and utility room. The basement, occupying less space than the first floor, consisted of a furnace room, large recreation room that was furnished with complete kitchen facilities in one corner and normal recreation room furniture. The basement also had a combination bedroom - office and a bathroom. Adjoining the bedroom - office, is wet Be Co ge eo ° at ¥ : 5 . -~7. $ — WW 5S084 Dogid: 32999526 Page 925)

receiving numerous phone calls, and using the entire residence without being able to understand any imposed restrictions. For security reasons and the general peace of mind of all, it was decided by MARY COORS and JIM GRANT that if the children's grandparents, Mr: and Mrs. COORS, SR:>-were-willing;-the-four-children should- .stay at their residence. This was arranged and the COORS' children remained at the grandparents' residence until the Agents departed the victim's home. In regard to the numerous phone calls that were being received by MARY COORS, it became obvious that something wr: ~ swouldshave:to-be.done to .avoid-possible interference with the....... . kidnaper's call. Also each time the phone rang, it completely interrupted the entire household until the identity of the caller was — known. In this connection, MARY COORS telephonically contacted two or three of her friends instructing them to call other people who would be most likely to contact her telephonically, requesting them to refrain until further notice. In addition, she asked JOE and BILL COORS, brothers-in-law, to contact their immediate family with the same request. The servant arrangement consisted of two maids, one appearing primarily as a house cleaner, and the other as a laundry servant. Neither lived in and the arrival of both entailed oad at eh MENON i mete ‘ 5 ! ‘ NW 55044 Docld:32989526 Page 931 ° nena — a a ae = = eo an - wrt - et . a wee? ” _* _ee7~

MARY COORS selected the maid to be kept, that selection being based on long time —acquaintanceship and her-ability-as-a-servant-and-cook; This reduction of the household members and visitors left MARY COORS, JIM GRANT and THELMA HOFFMAN, the maid. In addition, on a schedule of 24 hours each, JOE and BILL COORS were to alternate being in the residence. The first evening it was noted that MARY COORS -_.#7a8. becoming.increasingly. nervous. sometimes almost hysterical, a a ’ The following day, with JIM GRANT'S assistance, MARY COORS ' invited a friend as a permanent house guest. an — All of the above arrangements, with the exception of having MARY COORS invite her friend in to stay, were undertaken and accomplished on the first afternoon the Agents arrived. During this same pericd of time, a considerable number of requests were made of MARY COORS for specific bits of information or things she was to do. Some would be forgotten by her. It was the Agents’ experience in the residence with all members of the family, that it . was more desirable to make one specific request or resolve one problem at a time rather than a number of them. ate reste ws .

| i I | | >for the primary purpose-of being-able-to-locate-him-should.she_require _ The schedule of service people who should call at the residence was established so that there would be no Agent personnel in sight when they arrived. MARY COORS' doctor was identified and places where he would be available at all times established. This was his attention. Living quarters for the three Agents was established in the daylight basement. Inasmuch as two Agents were scheduled to be awake at all times, the one bed in the office with adjoining bath ‘was sufficient. One end of the recreation room, out of sight of the ‘stairwell and windows, was used for installation of private line and . recording equipment. It was felt it was necessary to reduce the number of — telephone extensions to avoid any individual answering the phone except the one selected to receive the kidnaper's call. Due to the physical layout of the house, the extension in the recreation room was left in service as it was available only to the Agents. As the person answering the phone, should the kidnaper call, would be one of the family, the extension in the master bedroom was designated for this purpose. With MARY COORS’ consent, this room was converted into an office for the purpose of receiving phone calls and most generally was occupied by one Agent and the member of the family oon woe - rns as . at a o. “ Loe Ce ERT TB a . nr [a rn ahr ~ sl ee -_- > ' +e ~ oe et eM te Dae cael le

GRANT was actually around and available to answer the phone from 10:00 A.M. until 2:00 A. M. During the rest of the 24- = --— hour cycle, either JOE or BILL COORS was present for this purpose. In giving instructions to the persons that were to answer the phone, it was not necessary to include questions that would determine whether or not the victim was alive, inasmuch as the family had agreed that they wanted to pay the ransom money irrespective of whether they had proof that he was alive. It was desirable to retain the caller on the phone as long as possible to afford the possibility of tracing the phone call. Several questions were formulated, the answers of which ~13-

In addition, on the same desk attached to the phone was a monitoring instrument giving an Agent across the desk a chance to hear both sides of any telephone | conversation coming into the residence. This was in addition to —__———nonitoring and recording equipment in the recreation room. This | instrument was designed so the Agent could only listen and was unable, to talk in it or have any other room noises interfere. To facilitate the Agent having control over this conversation without unduly interrupting a member of the family receiving the call, a | prompting board was improvised. On this board, which was a door  osufromthebasement, was large-printed phrases, as-prompters, -to- -« owe a help the person taking the call to prolong the conversation and to obtain pertinent information from the kidnaper. Some of these phrases were: SLOW DOWN READY TO PAY WILLING TO PAY | REPEAT THAT PERSONAL ITEMS ROADS ARE BAD ~ SNOW HOW DOI KNOW YOU ARE THE KIDNAPER yo a “| gies volo as te Ot me. meet at - 6 en mG an o Son : foe eee ed . re eran ies ns ees c Meet . : noe Pe ee ae a a ate eet Bee nt tte aan Be tee rn £2. tA wae ota ~ ge Bue tse ~ ite age eae ee eed Me Pe en ae Fe se a oe Oe De ee Se ME ee Sk athe y aes a aR et LE MW 55044 Docld:32989526 .Page.936.. 20.0.

. (M GRANT had a tendency to static-repeat phrases made to the person he was talking to. He was encouraged ald so were JOE and BILL COORS on all conversations to static-repeat ‘pe phone conversation. ~~ ‘There was never any intention that all these phrases should be used in any one conversation. A baton type pointer was available for the Agent to point to particular phrases which would be applicable at that point in the conversation. Also on the desk to facilitate the person carrying on the conversation was a copy of the ransom note, typed questions, and a2 memo scratch pad and a crayon was availabie to°write remindérs‘to the individual acceépting*the cali. Mock practices were conducted with all three individuals who were expected to possibly take the call. In addition, prior to ~ the series of family calls being eliminated, the element of repeating, slow down and other phrases on the board were used without interfering with personal calls coming in. . a oe : ae an , ro mo ~ 0% - 73 ra oP es ve My ag es Sh a ae es a i an nae! } ween . ww ~ NW 55044 Doocld: 32989526 Page 937

HANDLING OF RANSOM MONEY AT RESIDENCE On the evening of February 12, the prepared ransom money in the amount of $500,000 was delivered to the residence by bank officials. It arrived in a sealed canvas bag and was” accepted at tix residence by BILL COORS. It was placed in the bomb shelter room previously described. This room had been selected because it was not accessible from the outside of the house and the one inside door could be locked. In this room was placed two footlockers, one of which was to be used to deliver the money in. These two lockers had been marked {oF Titure idéntification prior to arrivai in the residence.

The door of this room was locked at all times after the above articles were placed therein. The key on a string was worn around the neck of the member of the ~ family who was on duty to receive the call from the kidnaper.
