There are four categories of circumstances in which taxes will not be withheld, Taxes are not. to be withheld from payments made (1) to other than security in- formants and sources, (2) for reimbursement of expenses, (3) under SAG authority, or (4) to informants who have been able +o report Bureau income on their Federal tax returns without jeopardizing their - security or without challehge from Internal Revenue Service.

This interview ‘ should be conducted in field office and informant told that: a. He will no longer be operated by Bureau b. Since be is public figure, he will probably be contacted by re prosenta~ tives of press, radio, and television for interviews ond appearances c. He may be sought as witness by congressional committees, Immigration > and Naturalization Service, and state authorities : ad. In connection with such interviews and appearances, informant must continue to be factual and truthful and must not build up or embellish’ statements, for if he does so he will wind up in serious trouble Advise Bureau results of such interview and comment on its possible effec- tiveness, oo Be alert to possibilities of former informant being contacted by represen~-— tatives of publicity media and as witness by congressional committees, INS, and state authorities. SAC is responsible for knowing when former informant is scheduled or is likely to appear at hearing or make public’ appearanceofr - ar of any kind. Prior thereto in each instance, former informant must be contacted and instructions above reiterated by Agent who handled informant. Emphasize to former informant that he must stick to truth and make certain he can back up what he says, and if there is any deviation he will be sub~ jected to criticism, possible libel, slander, or other criminal actions. If he inquires as to whether he should appear or testify or otherwise cooperate with any public or private individual or agency, advise him he must make that decision himself, but if he has appeared as Government witness in case which has not been finally adjudicated and decides in affirmative, he should contact USA for instructions, Advise Bureau of any such situations and results of any interviews conducted. When contacting Agent feels discontinued informant could cause embarrass- . ment to Bureau, make arrangements to have former informant come to fi: 14 ( office where he will be personally met by SAC. At that time, he should be impressed with fact that his services were appreciated and were of consid~ erable assistance to security of country and remind him that he signed agrees ment when he was active as informant to maintain his relation with Bureau | on confidential basis. SAC should stress necessity for informant to main- tain this confidence. FURNISHING INFORMANTS TO IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION SERVICE (INS) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
