This exception does not apply to security of Government employees cases. When all above action is completed, advise the Bureau, A statement shall also be made to the effect that the measures to con- trol informants, set out in 8 below, have been considered and recommenda— tions shall be made when it appears that such are warranted, When the services of an informant are discontinued, maintain close con-— tact with him so that the informant will look to the Bureau for advice and counsel prior to taking any action which would be against the Bureau's best interests. When an informant is discontinued, determine whether he has plans for writing a book, magazine or newspaper article, or other- wise publicizing his activity. If so, he should be impressed with the desirability of coming to the Bureau for assistance and guidance rather than making other arrangements. If an informant insists on engaging in .
