SENATE SELECT COMMITTER TO STUDY GOVERNMENTAL 7 OPERATIONS WITH RESPECT TQ INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES (SSC) { The developwent of informants is one of the most difficult, unique and specialized assignments. Despite the obstacles encountered in informant development, Bureau Agents have met and axe continuing to meet with steady and remarkable successes, They regularly demonstrate vision, daring and commendable resourcefulness in this work. The Bureau today we believe has the best informant coverage tin its history. When information is received or developed that a person hag backcround qualifications indicative of informant potential, in an area where covereme is needed, a case is opened, Office and Headquarters indices are reviewed and other logical discreet checks are made, including canvass of logical sources, to preliuinarily establish the individuni's backesround, veliability, stabillty and integrity. IZ the preLininary checks are favorable, the individual would be interviewed to establish a personal assessment by a Special Agent as to the person's qualifications, potential, and wilkinsness to assist this Bureau, ff the interview is positive, additional backsround investigation is conducted i6 establish the persons reliability, stability, and integrity. Upon satisfactory coupletion of this investication, the individual begins a developuent period with the handling Agent and after establishing a proven record of veliabllity, piabality and productiveness, becones a Headquarters approved informant, The Bureau's informants, particularly in the internal security field, have many restrictions imposed upon their relationshin with the Bureau, For exanupie, they are inpressed with the econfidentici nature of their relationship with the BBE, that their actions are strictiy voluntary and that they are not enployees, if they are connected in any way with a labor union, they are informed that the Bureau is not interested in an enployee-euployer relationship or if connected with an institution of learning, they are specifically advised that the Bureau is not interested in the legitimate activities of educational institutions, In particulay, all informants are instructed to avoid Enowledze of defense plans and strategy or discussion thereot with attorneys, subjects or other individuals in any prosecution arising from intelligence or ¢rininal investigations.

Specifically, infoxmant development and handling are extensively discussed in the FBI's training prosrans and there is no gquéation as to Special Agents being aware that informants cannot be directed to perform 3 function that the Special Agent may not legally perform, Special Agents are particularly reminded of the need to he alert to planta, potential agent provocateurs to be used against law enforcement in a variety of ways, so ae to avoid | unfounded alisgations of impropriety which may jeopardize investications or prosecutions as well as result in highly publicized contrived incidents reflecting adversely on law enforcenent, . HMony of our informants furnish needed and valuable information on a gratuktous basis, Many ave also paid for their services, Payments to informants are one of the most highiy supervised areas within Bureau operations, When a paynent is made to an informant, the handling Agent must make a vealistic determination as to the value of theservices performed by the informant, Established Bureau procedure requires that payments made to informants, upon recommendation of handling Agent and approval of appropriate supervisory personnel, originate from the office Fleid Support Account and are drawn frou this account by check made out to the handling Agent for the auount authorized.

SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE TO STUDY GOVERNMENTAL : - OPERATIONS WITH RESPECT TO INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES (85C) Coneerning warrants, 2 warrant requirement for the use of informants appeays impractical and aay be unconstitutional, It is impractical because probable enuse usually is net availabie when the informant technique is initiated and the submission of an affidevit in application for a warrant would increase the hazard of exposure of the infornant's identity. Such a Liwitation might be unconstitutional because it would Linwit the First Amendment rights of the informant to conmunicate with the Government, Existing legal restrictions require cuided informants toa recognize the sane Legal limitations ag would be applicable, in the sane circun- stances, to those directing the informants. An informant can legally do no more than an Agent is permitted to do. The Bureau in the domestic intellipence area has under investigation organizations, most of wuich have nuuerous districts, regions, offices, sections, chapters and clubs. These organiza~« tions and their subdivisions total over 1100, which receive investigative attention to some extent, These investigations aye afforded coverage by less than 1160 internal security infornants, Et nust be recognized, however, that there are other individuals who are in various stages of development in thia Yield, Concernin: payments, one-half of one percont (,.07,3 of the Bureau's budret (fiscal 10975) was utilized to pay all types of security infornonts including those in the foreign counterintellLigenee Ileid, &s noted, the Bureau's utiliczoation of informants involves a high deczreée of care and supervision. ft is a specific Bureau policy that an informnnt may only be tergeted asainst individuals or organizations of investigative interest to the BBE. Et must be recosnined, however, informants furnish a wealth of related information which cones to their attention during the course of their assigned duties. While operating against assigned targets, the associations necessary to maintain credibility may lead to 4nformation concerning proposed or actual bombings, arsons, violent demonstrations, assassination plots, 2 variety of criminal activities and even location of fugitives. They also serve as listening posts in igh crime ond violence prone areas and have contributed information directly responsible for the arrests of 176 persons during fiscal year 1975, O£ this number, 61 individuals were arrested by FEE Agents and 47 FBI fugitives were located nnd o~ o =

Illegal Activities Illegal activities on the part of any employee, in addition to being unlawful, reflect on the integrity of the FBI and betray the trust and confidence placed in it by the American people. Furthermore, unlawful activities can disqualify him for employment by the Government of the United States. It is, therefore, expected that employees will obey not only the letter of the law but the spirit of the law as well whether they be engaged in transactions of a personal or official naturee With respect to investigative activities, this admonition particularly applies to entrap- ment or the use of any other improper, illegal, or unethical tactics in the procurement of evidence. In this regard, it should be especially noted that, in securing information concerning mail matter, the Bureau will not tolerate a violation of law (Title 18, USC, §§ 1702, 1703, 1708, and 1709). Furthermore, employees must not tamper with, interfere with, or open mail in violation of law nor aid, abet or condone the opening of mail illegally by any employee of the U. S. Postal Service. As members of a Federal investigative agency, FBI employees must at all times zealously guard and defend the rights and liberties guaranteed to all individuals by the Constitution. Therefore, FBI employees must not engage in any investigative activity which could abridge in any way the rights guaranteed to a citizen cf the United States by the Constitution and under no circumstances shall employees of the FBI engage in any con- duct which may result in defaming the character, reputation, integrity, or dignity of any citizen or organization of citizens of the United States. Employees must not install secret telephone systems or microphones without Bureau authority. No brutality, physical violence, duress or intimidation of individuals by our employees will be countenanced nor will force be used greater than that necessary to effect arrest or for self-defense. s re atk. ba hots tot PATEL TA Ne Ip MW 55101 Docld: 32989554 Page i159 10-29~74., | oo =

Total expenditures. for all such informants and sources “for the six month period ending July 31, 1971; reduce ‘this total by five percent; divide the resulting figure by six (months). The resulting figure is to be the guideline for each office.

The prime purpose of development and utilization of extremist informants and sources is to provide intelligence and evidenciary information concerning black and white extremist organizations and individuals. These sources are also called upon to furnish information ‘concerning situations affecting civil unrest in all parts of the country. Supervision of extremist informants at the Seat of Government includes review and approval of new informants and confidential sources, review of progress of informants, review of payments being made to informants, analysis of informant coverage in each field office, analysis of nation wide informant coverage of the various extremist orgenizations, coordination of informant coverage of specific functions such as Black Panther Party (BPP) and other extremist groups’ conventions, supervision of operations for the development of top~echeion BPP informants, and other special projects such as development of information concerning black extremist under- ground escape routes and coordinating utilization of informants abroad with other agencies, All procedures are constantly ‘evaluated. in an effort to increase the efficiency of our operation and to provide the field with the necessary ‘supervision with a minimum of paper work. As of 7/31/71 we are operating a ‘total of 7,477. extremist informants compared with a total of 7,184 at “at the ‘time of the last Inspection. This is an increase of 293 informants. Concerning the above informants, 583 informants report on black extremist organizations and 353 informants report on white extremist organizations such as the Klan. We are operating{6,541)ehetto informants who provide general information within the black ghetto areas of our cities as compared to(6, 224) ghetto informants at the time of the last Inspection which represents an increase of GIL} ghetto informants.
