oa commenced, and we were. fully committed to maximum participation with the members of that Subcommittee. | I laud their efforts. However, those efforts: are of very recent origin in terms of the FBI's history. : One of the greatest benefits of the study | this Committee has made is the expert knowledge you have . i gained of the complex problems confronting the FBI. But i I respectfully submit that those benefits are wasted if they do not lead to the next step -~ a step that I believe is absolutely essential -- a legislative charter, expressing Congressional determination of intelligence jurisdiction for the FBI. ae tener og ae Se te ee Action to resolve the problems confronting us seep in the security and intelligence fields is urgently needed; erie = and it must be undertaken in a forthright manner. Neither the Congress nor the public can afford to look the other way, leaving it to the FBI to do what must be done, as too often has occurred in the past. FA ee et phen nie brane eeneren Tat This means too that Congress must assume a continuing role, not in the initial decision-making process but in the review of our performance. | I would caution against a too-ready reliance upon the Courts to do our tough thinking for us. Some proposals that have been advanced during these hearings would extend the role of the Courts into the early stages i { i HW 35110 Docld: 32959560 Page 13%
eo of the investigative process and, thereby, would take over what historically have been Executive Branch decisions. I frankly feel that such a trend, if unchecked, would seriously undermine the independence of the Judiciary and cast them in a role not contemplated by the authors of our Constitution. Judicial review cannot be a substitute for Congressional oversight or Executive decision. The FBI urgently needs a clear and workable determination of our jurisdiction in the intelligence field, a jurisdictional statement that the Congress finds to be responsive to both the will and the needs of the American people. | Senators, -first and foremost, I am a police officer —-- a career police officer. In my police experience, the most frustrating of all problems that I have discovered facing law enforcement in this country -- Federal, state, or local -- is when demands are made of them to perform their traditional role as protector of life and property without clear and understandable legal bases to do so. I recognize that the formulation of such a legislative charter will be a most precise and demanding task. NW 55110 Doold: 32999560 Page 140
It must be sufficiently flexible that it does not stifle FBI effectiveness in combating the. growing incidence of crime and violence across the United States. That charter must clearly address the demonstrated problems of the past; yet, it must amply recognize the fact that times change and so also do the nature and thrust of our criminal and subversive challenges. , The fact that the Department of Justice has commenced the formulation of operational guidelines» governing our intelligence activities does not in any manner diminish the need for legislation. The responsibility for conferring jurisdiction resides with the Congress. In this regard, I am troubled by some proposals Which question the need for intelligence gathering, suggesting that information needed for the prevention of violence can be acquired in the normal course of criminal investigations. As a practical matter, the line between intelligence work and regular criminal investigations is often difficult to describe. What begins as an intelligence investigation may well end in arrest and prosecution of the subject. But there are some fundamental differences between these NW 55110 Doold: 329859360 Fage i141 . : 7
eo @ investigations that should be recognized -- differences in scope, in objective and in the time of initiation. In the usual criminal case, a crime has occurred and it remains only for the Government to identify the perpetrator and to collect sufficient evidence for prosecution. |. Since the investigation normally follows the elements of the crime, the scope of the inquiry is limited and fairly well defined. | By contrast, intelligence work involves the gathering of information, not necessarily evidence. The purpose may well be not to prosecute, but rather to thwart crime or to insure that the Government has enough information to meet any future crisis or emergency. The inquiry is necessarily broad because it must tell us not only the nature of.the threat, but also whether the threat is imminent, the persons involved, and the means by which the threat will be carried out. The ability of the Government to prevent criminal acts is dependent on’ our anticipation of those unlawful acts. Anticipation, in turn, is dependent on advance information =- that is intelligence. Certainly, reasonable people can differ on these issues. Given the opportunity, I am confident that the continuing need for intelligence work can be documented to the full satisfaction of the Congress. | We NW 35110 Doold: 32989560 Page i142 - 13 -
NW 55410 Docld:32989560 Page 145 “recognize that what is at stake here is not the interests of the FBI, but rather the interests of every citizen of this country. We recognize also that the resolution of these matters will demand extensive and thoughtful deliberation by the Congress. To this end, I pledge the complete cooperation of the Bureau with this Committee or its successor in this important task. In any event, you have my unqualified assurance as Director that we will carry out both the letter and the spirit of such legislation as the Congress may enact. -~ 14 =
