TOPIC: SEPARATION OF INTELLIGENCE GATHERING FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT FUNCTIONS The question has been raised regarding the feasibility of separating the intelligence gathering function of the FBI from the law enforcement function of the FBI, The functions of the FBI do not neatly fall within "intelligence" and "law enforcement" categories. Internal security cases are both intelligence and law enforcement operations and counterintelligence sometimes involves arrests and prosecutions, i,e., law enforcement. Thus, the functions of the FBI can more accurately be broken down into three general missions - law enforcement, internal security (domestic), and counterintelligence (foreign), These missions are separate, distinct, and distinguishable functions, even though each partakes a little of each other. While counterintelligence could adequately, and with more success in some cases, be handled by an organization totally separate from one with law enforcement powers, internal security work in many cases, is directly related to criminal prosecution. Complete separation, at least of the internal security function from law enforcement, does not appear to be practically feasible. ALL INFORMATION CONTAINED MW 35101 Docld: 32989554 Page 36
Separation of the internal security function also presents serious political considerations. Internal security is the most controversial of government's intelligence collection activities. In the U.S., this function was originally given to the FBI which had established for itself a reputation for being respon- sible, competent, and most importantly, politically neutral and had the confidence of most Americans. It is to the advantage of an internal security agency, which is subjected to political pressures, to be somewhat insulated by being part of a larger, respected organization which has a high profile as a competent and fair investigative agency in the less politically complex law enforcement and counterintelligence fields. Adding to this insulation is the tradition of FBI political independence, and the new Congressional concern with keeping the FBI politically independent. While the law enforcement and counterintelligence wings of the FBI dislike the controversies into which its internal security wings drag the FBI name, separation of internal security into a separate agency would probably subject it to more intense political pressures, both from within the administration and without, which pressures it might not be capable of withstanding. Such separation appears politically unfeasible and undesirable. | | AW 55101 Doold:32989554 Page 37 |
* e Separation of the counterintelligence function would be more practically feasible; however, the commingling of counterintelli- gence and internal security interests and the threat of a merger of the counterintelligence function with the positive foreign intelligence collection agency, especially in the U.S., are both practical and political reasons militating against this course. Practical considerations against divestiture of the counterintelligence and internal security functions from the FBI are that: basic criminal investigative experience equips men in many areas to be intelligence officers; a pool of trained criminal investi- gators is available to the intelligence missions to draw from, either on an ad hoc emergency basis, e.g., seizure of an embassy or political kidnapping or skyjacking, or as candidates for the position of intelli- gence officer; a divestiture might result in the loss to the counterintelli- gence and internal security wings of the effective use of the FBI name, reputation, and contacts/sources built-up over the years using the FBI name, All members of the intelligence community have specific responsibilities defined by statutes and executive orders, The FBI maintains close daily liaison with other agencies to insure against MW 35101 Docld: 32989554 Page 35
@ eo od e repetition or overlapping activities. The Congress and the Executive Branch, in establishing intelligence agencies such as the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), National Security Agency, FBI, etc. , must have considered the need to keep each agency's functions separate. The CIA, for example, is specifically prohibited from having any internal security or law enforcement functions. For this reason, in addition to consideration of experience, efficiency and economy, the FBI recommends that all three missions of law enforcement, internal security, and counterintelligence remain with the FBI, MW 35101 Docld: 32959554 Page 35
° " TOPIC: THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE FBI DIRECTOR TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL The FBI, through Congressional enactment, Executive Order, and directive of the Attorney General has been charged with the responsi- bility of performing certain duties subject to the general supervision and direction of the Attorney General. The Director of the FBI, a Bureau chief within the Department, having been granted enormous responsibility, must attain a proper balance between independence and responsiveness in order to properly discharge this responsibility. The Director of the FBI must be permitted to discharge his responsibilities free from political or unethical pressure. This must be balanced with his responsibility to remain responsive to the Attorney General's leadership and direction. A Congressional oversight committee, available to give the FBI counsel, guidance, and direction, can greatly assist the FBI in achieving and maintaining this balance. There must be an efficient working relationship, with free and open channels of communication, between the Director and the Attorney General. However, the FBI Director must also on occasion communicate TON CONTAINED RAY G CLASS. directly with the President and members of the Congressional oversight committee. The Director must be in a position to register reasoned disagreement with the Attorney General and if the situation dictates, to ALL ING take up important matters of disagreement with the President and the Congressional oversight committee. ; C af fe 34 We / [ qe?

et ta : . @ TOPIC: THE FBI AS AN INDEPENDENT AGENCY The proposal to make the FBI an independent agency within the Executive Branch has been voiced on several occasions in Congress. Approximately one year ago, two bills were introduced in the Senate to achieve this aim. Proponents of this proposal indicate their basis for supporting this approach is because of their concern to have the FBI free from political influence. They cite as an argument the fact the Attorney General is almost always a political appointee of the President whose views generally conform with his own. The question arises whether removal of the FBI from the Department of Justice is the proper means of assuring a justifiable degree of independence and freedom from undue political pressure. The FBI as an independent agency would simply mean the Director would no longer report to the Attorney General but instead would be responsible directly to the White House. Opponents of the proposed Senate bills suggest that some danger | does exist in the FBI's reporting to a political appointee, but a far greater danger may exist if the FBI, performing as an independent agency, became the arm of a politically motivated Director who was primarily responsible . to the White House.

It is the FBI's position the FBI should remain a Bureau within the Department of Justice where it can properly perform its functions to investigate violations of various Federal laws and report its impartial findings to those who will conduct the prosecution of these violations in our judicial system.

Mr. Daly advised that the Attorney General (AG) had requested the Bureau immediately prepare a list of electronic surveillances conducted by the Bureau from 1/1/70 until 6/30/75. In addition, the AG requested that the supportive documents underlying these electronic surveillance requests also be provided him. Both the list and supportive documents were to be on the desk of the AG by 9:00 a.m., 10/6/75. After a series of calls, arrangements were made with the Files and Communications Division to begin pulling . the necessary files needed to prepare the list and provide the supportive documents. At 9:30 a.m., the above-named Bureau supervisors reported to the Intelligence Division where they worked steadily, without taking time out for lunch or dinner until approximately 9:00 p.m., developing the necessary information and documents responsive to the AG's request, Miss Winslow and Miss Dodge, secretaries in the Intelligence Division, along with Miss Simmons and Mrs, Weldon, typists in the Intelligence Division, reported for work at approximately 11:00 a.m. These 4 young ladies worked contin- uously through the afternoon and well into the evening hours preparing the necessary communications for the AG.
