Stipulation re payments made to witnesses a. Dao Co do In trials in which informants, former informants, or other persons who were paid sums of money are prospective witnesses, the Bureau must furnish the Departmentf[a set of Photostats of the original receipts signed by the prospective witnesses, The original receipts and a set of Photostats will be transmitted to the field office in whose territory the trial will take place.] The office-.handling prosecution must determine from the{Government] attorney which individuals are to be used as witnesses. Thereafter the office should furnish and/or cause other appropriate offices to furnish to the Bureau the follow— ing information: 1): The correct, full name 2 ALL aliases, code names, and symbol numbers 3 The first date of contact by your office 4 If first contact was prior to September, 1944, the names of all SAs, SACs, and ASACs who contacted and may have made payments (5). A tabulation of all payments, broken down as to the amount appli- cable to services and the amount applicable to expenses, {Although tabulations are not furnished to the Department, those prepared by your office will be reconciled with Bureau records, ] (6) A listing of any advances, refunds, and outstanding balances of advances 12} The date of last contact by your office 8 Whether the individual has been contacted by any other office Each individual and each item of information must be accounted. for, Tf no contact was made with a particular individual, the Bureau must be so advised, Where an informant has previously been used and a tabulation of pay~ ments was prepared, information for items (5) through (8) need be given only from the date of the last trial from which the individual was used, The above information should be submitted separate and apart from correspondence setting forth derogatory information, and should be addressed to the attention of the Administrative Division, Voucher Unit, Interdivisional correspondence should be addressed to the Bureau with copies designated for the interested offices, 8. Receipt of unemployment compensation & Ge At times security informants and/or sources temporarily lose their jobs with private industry due to strikes, economic conditions, or similer circumstances, As a result they become eligible for unemployment compensation, Where unemployment regulations require listing of all sources of income as a prerequisite for obtaining unemployment compensation and security informants and/or sources who at the time are being paid by the Bureau for services rendered fail to comply, the situation is potentially embarrassing, The Bureau cannot be placed in the position of condoning a violation of the state law on the part of any informant or source, Hach field office must determine from state unemployment compensation officials effect of unemployment compensation laws on paid informants and/or sources. Depending on local requirements, informants and sources must be alerted accordingly, Whenever a paid informant and/or source becomes unemployed or has knowledge of impending unemployment, discuss all facts with him and submit observations and recommendations to Bureau, Unless advised to the contrary by the Bureau, follow recommended action, Each office must assume the responsibility of guarding against informantts accepting a Bureau payment that would conflict with unemployment compensation laws. At the same time, weigh seriously the possibie need for an informant to apply and accept unemployment compensation to 21 Docld: 32989529 Page 1526 10-13-60 tn a
