Obtaining and retaining evidentiary copies of publications in the field When the submitting office determines, or is advised by the Bureau, that a certain issue of a publication (which has already been for= warded to the Bureau) is deemed to be of sufficient importance to warrant the obtaining of an evidentiary copy of that issue, a copy thereof should be obtained through live informants or by having an Agent purchase a copy at a public outlet for that publication, if confidentially feasible. The evidentiary copy, bearing complete identifying data, should be retained as evidence in the field office; and the Bureau should be so advised by letter, setting forth complete identifying data concerning the evidentiary copy, together with the caption and file number of the file in which the evidentiary copy is retained, Transmittal of evidentiary copies of publications to the Bureau Instances in which the field will transmit evidentiary copies of publica— tions to the Bureav will be limited almost exclusively to the submission of copies of foreign language publications for translation of certain material for use as evidence. In these instances, it is required that: 1 Bach copy submitted bear complete identifying data 2 The material be forwarded in sealed envelopes labeled "Evidence" ts Phe material be forwarded via registered mail 4) The cover letter of transmittal be- marked for the attention of. the FBI Laboratory; state clearly that it is contemplated that the publications (and translations thereof) will be used as evidence; identify clearly the enclosed publications as to title, place of publication, and date of issue; show the method of transmittal of the evidence to the Bureau; and indicate the desired disposition of the evidence, Calling attention of Bureau to publications of security interest When a field office obtains an evidentiary copy of a publication which it desires to call to the Bureaufs attention, a letter should be addressed to the Bureau to that end. Title, author, publisher, and the general nature should be very briefly set forth, together with the identi- ‘fying data proper to the evidentiary copy. The letter should be informative, not requiring an answer... A nonevidentiary duplicate copy of that publication should be enclosed with the letter, if readily available. If a nonevidentiary copy is not readily available, that fact should be stated in the letter. If the Bureau desires to obtain a nonevidentiary duplicate copy of the publication for review, efforts will be made to obtain it through the appropriate field office.

To avoid confusion, noneviden- tiary copies which have been marked for identification {source, Agent, date; and place of acquisition )should be: further annotated: - "Not Evidence. oo . soe Letters should be used in connection with initiating action or ceasing action to obtain publications desired by the Bureaus to call to the attention of the Bureau specific items of information connected with these publications; and in those instances in which good judgment dictates that certain circumstances or information should be recorded in letter form.

By telephone where time is of essence Confer with division head having supervision of the matter for . investigative clearance and with the office of the division head of the Crime Records Division for final press clearance. While good judgment must prevail, in important cases in which a local news paper deadline is approaching, it may be advisable to telephone the Bureau for clearance. 3. Press releases are to be made personally only by. the SAC or in his absence by the ASAC. 4, 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. SoM, 5. In the absence of an overriding consideration bearing on the public interest, 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 2 complaint 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, noe . 6, On~the-s pot announcements by SAC are authorized : in emer gency: situations in which good judgment so dictates.

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:. . : 7. j%&In the normal process of issuing press releases,[either local or national, SACs may, when requested, make personal appearances for 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 represen ntatives when such requests are received. ] 8. In the absence of special circumstances, Bureau Agents should. Hever suggest or request a reporter or another representative of a newspaper or similar publication to withhold the publication of news. In the event that special Circumstances do exist, it will be necessary to clear with the Bureau prior to making any such request. 9. In cases involving bombings haying 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 Bureauts full laboratory and identification facilities, to further assist them by handling 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. 10.
