SECURITY THVESTIGATL gm (f) Advise the Bureau promptly in form suitable for dissemi- nation of a cubject's return from travel abroad in those instances in which stops have been placed with security services abroad through the agencies listed above. In instances in which an individual against whom stops have been placed has traveled to any country behind the Iron Curtain, the Bureau shall also be furnished at that time with recommendations as to the desirability of interview of such person and with advice as to whether additional investigation concerning him is contemplated. In the event such an interview is authorized, it shall be conducted promptly and the case shall not be closed until such inter- view is had and the results thereof submitted in report form. (g) In some instances a security investigation of a subject not yet included in the security index may be in progress at the time it is found that the subject has recently departed for a foreign country. If the evidence developed at that time warrants the inclusion of the subject in the security index were it not for the fact that he is outside the U. S., form FD-122 should be submitted recommending his inclusion in the unavailable section of the security index. After all initial investigation is compléted, the subject's case wee "be handled the same as those of other subjects of a simil status who are included in the unavailable section» as out “ot “the country. Tf the subject is an alien who has been deported or has otherwise permanently departed from the U. S., he should not be included in the security index. '. When it is determined that a security index subject has departed for a foreign country, his security index card shall be placed in the unavailable section and his case handled in Zocor” , 168 with the instructions set forth - under 87D 7>o (6} ,»)-IV. . . Investigative techniques “While it is not possible to, enumerate all investigative techniques which can and should be employed in these investigations, there are certain proven techniques which have been used with con- tinued success and should be applied wherever possible. (a) File reviews Upon the initiation of a security investigation of an individual, check the office indices and review Tiles _ thoroughly for any pertinent information on record showing background and subversive activity of each individual subject. Include such information in the initial investi- gative report. Once a main- security file has been opened for an individual, subsequent information received concerning him should be channelized to that file. The reference cards pertaining to the subject should be consolidated in the indices after each check and review of files has been made, (vo) Security informants Success of security investigations of individuals is primarily dependent upon a broad confidential informant coverage within every phase of subversive activity. Information and evidence developed through such sources are unsurpassed in value because of possible use not enly for intelligence purposes but also as admissible evidence. 34 , NW 55072 Doocld: 32385525 Page 895 . 7-15-60 rae ~ “ ee” . : “3. tee Yee RE yeretelte fa Qh eo Ps FUL Aihai what hyia atlh s ord  / rt eer, & ® sae 4 . . has Th ake gale avbtar etette qn oe EE warts yell apes gd araseeqa es ambeweapbeatora ge et, fy « a 24 3 ye : be Dealp Ah ay elt tonal fh
