At least four hours before the time of release, developments in the case, an outline of the release, and statement release will be made UACB are to be furnished the Bureau. b. 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 newspaper 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 affectéd 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. 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. : 6. On-the-spot announcements by SAC are authorized in emergency situations in which good judgment so dictates. Emergency on—the—spot statements by Agents limited to their official identity and, if known, the identity of ‘ fugitive or criminal in gun battle. 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. (In the normal procéss 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 representatives when such requests are received, ] . 8. In the absence of special circumstances, Bureau Agents should never 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 having an apparent racial or religious basis with the resultant public intérést, 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 Bureaufts 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 S50 a prompt statement can be authorized. 10. Copies of Bureau press releases to be placed in case file and press release file if exists. La _ 12-27-65 Bocld: 32989529 Page S56

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 newspaper deadline is approaching, it may be advisable to- telephone the Bureau for clearance, . Press releases are to be made personally only by the SAG or in his absence by the ASAC, 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. 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 a, complaint and an inquiry -is forthcoming from the press, 2 "no comment” reply should be given. The complaint is a court record and must be Left to Speak for itself, On—the—spot announcements by SAC are authorized in emergency situations in which good judgment so dictates, Emergency on—the~spot statements by Agents limited to their official identity and, if known, the identity of ( fugitive or criminal in- gun battle. 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. 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 Tepresentatives when such requests are received. ] . In the absence of special circumstances, Bureau Agents should never 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. In cases involving bombings having 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 Bureau's full laboratory and identification facilities, to further assist them by handling out—of—state leads, and to take charge of all investigative efforts that mey 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.

While gaod judgment must. prevail, in important cases in which a local newspaper deadline is approaching, it may te advisable to Sele phone the Bureau for clearance. _ Press releases are to be made personally only by the SAC or in his absence by the ASAC, Releases are to be made both at headquarters ‘and the local area affected by developments. All material prepared for the public must be reviewed 4 word for word. t+ 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. In the absence of an overriding consideration bearing on the ‘public inter- est, 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 a com- plaint 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. On-the-spot announcements by SAC are authorized in emergency. situations in which good judgtent so dictates, Emergency on-thé~spot statements by Agents limited to their official identity and, if known, the identity of fugitive or criminal in gun battle. If badly wanted Pugitive’ 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. | {In those instances in which a press release is issued at SOG, television and radio media should be merely provided with a written copy of the press release, and Bureau personnel should not submit to live, filmed, or tape- recorded interviews of any kind, including the reading of the release it- _ self, without prior Bureau authority. Tact and diplomacy must be exercised in declining to participate in such interviews. With respect to local press releases, SACs may, when requested, make personal appearances on 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 representatives when such requests are received. ] . In the absence of special circumstances, Bureau Agents should never’ 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. if la 1-30-70 HWW S5072 Doold: 32989529 Page 1022

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 newspaper deadline is approaching, it may be advisable to telephone the Bureau for clearance. Press releases are to be made personally only by the SAC or in his absence by the ASAC, i) 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. In the absence of an overriding consideration bearing on the public inter- est, 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 a com plaint and an inquiry is forthcoming from the press, a "no comme nt" reply should be given. The complaint is a court record and must: be left to o™ coed Nee - speak for itself. On-the-spot announcements by SAC are authorized in emergency situations. in which good judgment so dictates. Emergency on-the-spot statements by Agents limited to their official identity and, if known, the identity of . fugitive or criminal in gun battle. If badly wanted fugitive apprehended C in remote area and SAC absent, Agent may, in rare emergency only and where time of assence, furnish bare details. Contact by SAC with press should be effected immediately where press desires further details. In those instances in which a press release is issued at SOG, television and radio media should be merely provided with a written copy of the press release, and Bureau personnel should not submit to live; filmed, or tape- recorded interviews of any kind, including the reading of the release it~ self, without prior Bureau authority. Tact and diplomacy must be exercised in declining to participate in such interviews. With respect to local press. releases, SACs may, when requested, make personal appearances on 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 representatives when such requests are received.[Reading of these local press releases on the telephone to the news media should be done by the SAC or ASAC.] In the absence of special circumstances, Bureau Agents should never 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. la 1-27-71

By telephone where time is of essence Confer with division head having supervision of the matter for investigative clearance and with[Press Services Office]for final press clearance. While good judgment must prevail, in important cases in which a local newspaper deadline is approaching, it may be advisable to telephone the Bureau for clearance, Press réleases are to be made personally only by the SAG or in his absence by the ASAC, 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. In the absence of an overriding consideration bearing on the. public inter- est, 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 a com- plaint and an inguiry 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 , On~-the~spot announcements by SAC are authorized in emergency situations in which good judgment so dictates. Emergency on-the-spot statements by Agents limited to their official identity and, if known, the identity of fugitive or criminal in gun battle. 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.

In those instances in which a press release is issued at({FBIHQ, Itelevision and radio media should be merely provided with a written copy of the press release, and Bureau personnel should not submit to Live, filmed, or tape- recorded interviews of any kind, including the reading of the release it- self, without prior Bureau authority. fact and diplomacy must be exercised in declining to participate in such interviews. With respect to local press releases, SACs may, when requested, make personal appearances on 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 representatives when such requests are received. Reading of these local press releases on the telephone to the news media should be done by the SAC or ASAC. In the absence of special circumstances, Bureau Agents should never 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. - La 3~27-73 ee nel

In cases involving bombings having an apparent racial or religious basis with the resultant public interest, the SAC should issue a statement to the vress 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 Bureau's full laboratory and identification facilities, to further assist them by han- dling 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 cf this state- ment requires prior Bureau approval in avery such instance, and the Bureau should be contacted telephonically and furnished known facts of the incident so a prompt statement can be authorized. 10. In contacts with the press concerning a bank robbery, bank burglary, or bank larceny no information should be volunteered concerning the amount of loot obtained.
