(D) FBI‘LAW ENFORCEMENT BULLETIN -- Over the years, the FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin has been recognized as one of the outstanding Ppublications in the law enforcement field. A great amount of credit for its high standing is attributable to the field offices which have furnished the Bureau with excellent ideas and suggestions for articles. This is a very vital phase of the Bulletin program, and each SAC should insure that his office is constantly on the alert for new and unusual ideas and progressive procedures and techniques which can be uSed in the Bulletin. As in the past, three sug- gestions are requested from each field division for potehtial Bulletin articles in 1962 for each state within its territory. These suggestions should be made in accordance with previous instructions which are reiterated below, and should reach the Bureau, Attention: Crime Records Division, no later than February 20, 1962. , The proper procedure for Bureau field offices. to follow ‘' in connection with articles for the FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin is to submit suggestions for articles together with an explanatory paragraph or two stating the nature of the suggested article, who will write it and the names of the persons and organizations likely to be mentioned in it. Do not discuss the suggestion with the _ proposed author or any person outside the Bureau or submit articles ; y ready to print. In either of these latter “two cases there is apt “ to be considerable embarrassment to both the field office and the Bureau should it be found necessary to disapprove the suggestion or the article. . 4 Insofar as diplomatically possible, -wfficers should be discouraged from submitting unsolicited articles. If you consider it wise to accept such an article, advise the author that there is a big demand for the limited space in the Bulletin and that you eannot promise when, or whether, the article will be published. If the officer furnishes a suggestion only, send it to the Bureau ‘ by letter. . An office which has submitted at -least three suggestions during the calendar year will be considered to have fulfilled its obligations, pending further advice from the Bureau. If one or more of the suggestions are approved, the articles will be ordered by the Bureau at such time as they can be fitted into the printing schedule. If none are approved, the office will be directed to submit additional suggestions. , You will be expected to place particular emphasis on Suggesting the best material available in your field office territory. 1/2/62 C™pac LETTER NO. 62-1 ~ 2. pnbeabentteht WS EDTA A CAT Bh mes bee Ce TI Cah: JIC ra 4 i MW 35041 Docld: 32989525 Page i5

The © FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin should be the first to publicize these better methods of police work and there is no plausible excuse for not doing so, considering the widespread contacts which the Bureau has with all principal police organizations in the nation. Whenever a good idea is found, it should be sub- mitted, regardless of the number of suggestions previously sub- mitted during the same year. In developing your suggestions, note the nature and. origin of articles from your territory which have previously been printed in the Bulletin. If they have all been written by members of police departments, for example, then your next three sug- gestions should include at least two from sheriffs' offices and State police. The objective here is to get a wide coverage of law enforcement agencies in your territory; do not play favorites. This does not, however, preclude suggesting another article from ‘the same author or police agency provided the suggested article appears to be of outstanding value. It is permissible occasidnally to suggest an article (Sfrom persons who are not police officers in the strictest sense ~ of the term, provided the article will deal with some phase of law enforcement. Examples are articles by game wardens, national . park officers with police authority, pathologists who have a good reputation for lending assistance in homicide cases, cattle brand inspectors, et cetera. .Any reasonable suggestion will be considered. The author should be a person of experience and ability in the field of which he writes. Both he and his organization Should be of good character and reputation. Following is a list of types of articles, certainly not, all-inclusive, which sheriffs, police officers or other persons in your territory may be able to write for the Bulletin:. Investigation of arson, homicide, robbery, burglary, sneak thievery, thefts from trucks and railroads, auto theft, counterfeiting, liquor law violations, fraudulent checks, gambling, traffic accidents and sex crimes; larceny of jewelry, furs, et cetera; pathology in homicide cases; shoplifting; confidence games, both major and minor; pick- pockets; pawn shop details; motor patrol methods; foot patrol methods; disaster plans; courtroom appearance and testimony; women in police work; annual police reports; work of the property. clerk; police planning in a growing community; purchasing police equipment, 1/2/62 SAC LETTER NO. 62-1 -~3- NW 35041 Doocld: 32989525 Page 16

Other ideas may be obtained by studyingthe types of articles which have appeared in previous issues of the Bulletin. Articles on outstanding investigations which solved cases of national interest would be most appropriate. Of course, such items could not be used until final adjudication. Articles requested by the Bureau should be submitted within 90 days of the date on which they were ordered if possible. Likewise, you should be alert to keep the Bureau's publication schedule in mind in con- nection with articles which may have a seasonal slant.

There prevails, in spite of procedures con- cisely enunciated both in legislation and agreement between the , Departments of Justice and Defense, a deep’ rooted but erroneous ' precept that the right to prosecute military offenders by civilian authorities is obtained only with the expressed consent and Sanction of the military. This theory is without foundation and where it prevails, immediate steps must, be taken to insure it is discontinued. Upon approval August 31, 1954, osticoiic Law 725, 83rd | Congress, the responsibility of investigation and prosecution of j violations of Federal criminal statutes by Federal officers and employees was specifically placed” in the hands of the Attorney General and the FBI. It was the intent of Congress in passing (1 fe/6e \ SAC LETTER NO. 62-1 -5- NW 35041 Docld: 32989525 Page is
€ £D ¥ this legislation that FBI jurisdiction not be abridged by any branch of the Executive including the military. The MU merely supplements Public Law 725 and was agreed upon on July 19, 1955, by the then Attorney General and Secretary of Defense. The Department of Justice has from the outset held clearly and firmly to the doctrine of the supremacy of civilian authorities over the military. . Any deviation from this basic doctrine by military authorities is unwarranted. The Department has like- wise indicated that U. S. Attorneys and their assistants are bound by Departmental policy in this regard. iE SETS cach at ounce xt bata clas Waar aaah aD aloud a AD ATaia ne Ro OR dR GaN cm a HL ea a Specifically, the largest area of encroachment by military authorities upon the Bureau's jurisdiction is in cases involving theft, fraud, misappropriation, and robbery of Government property or funds where onlyiwhilitary personnel are involved when such offenses take place on military réservations. Such violations are within this Bureau's sole- investigative durisdiction which can only be relinquished with the expressed consent of a representative of the Department of Justice. Crimes within this Bureau's primary jurisdiction occurring off a military reservation will likewise be handled by this Bureau and prosecuted in U. S. District Court unless the military personnel involved are engaged in scheduled military activities or special factors prevail relating to the administration and discipline of the armed forces. Again, it is only upon the discretion of the Department of Justice that an investigation of such crimes may be undertaken by the military. O . Information has been received from the Department indicating the Department of Defense has made overtures to amend the MU, giving primary jurisdiction to the military in cases involving fraud, misappropriation, robbery and theft of Govern- ment property or funds where such offenses occur on a military reservation and only military personnel are involved as principals or accessories. abt oncnastone Loe Pianoa vd Sas sul pimameadonnutd In this regard, it was confidéntially learned that the Air Force in particular is displeased with the fact that during the past year several high-ranking officers were prosecuted and convicted in-U.

agreement by military authorities should be immediately brought to the attention of the Bureau. I specifically desire that the above information be brought to the attention of all investigative and supervisory personnel immediately. Appropriate steps must be taken to insure that all personnel are familiar in detail with the MU in order that this Bureau may properly fulfill its responsibility under the law. I want to call to your attention present Bureau regulations requiring that ,the Bureau be advised immediately in each instance wherein thext. S. Attorney or his assistant Geclines prosecution in any criminal matter involving military personnel. The Bureau does not intend that any further encroach- ment be made upon its investigative responsibilities and the field must firmly oppose any such attempts by the military. deere bh ates anh tatoos le melee des BEM eae ne et aed Very truly yours, John Edgar Hoover oo - ' Director Se ae Renn Atanas ae ae we oe rrann cewenels oklaam aurk am aie been Bon Enclosures for (A), (B) 8 (c) e 1/2/62 SAC LETTER NO. 62-1. ~ “ MW 35041 Docld: 32939525 Page 20 -- “ o4 : . a ae

(c )i“EDWARD LAMBRECHT, BROOMALL, PENNSYLVANIA ~ INFORMATION CONCERNING -~ Edward Lambrecht, 2247 Windsor Circle, Broomall, Pennsylvania, has been and is currently engaged in an extensive campaign of writing letters to FBI Headquarters, other Federal agencies, Governors, Congressmen, heads of major industrial corporations and other prominent individuals, alleging that he has information of vital concern to the security.of the United States but that the communists have prevented him from bringing it to my attention. His letters, though each is typed _Spparately, are virtually identical. Lambrecht, a ham radio operator, has been tnterviewed , at the Seat of Government on five occasions and by Agents of several field offices. He claims to have intercepted Soviet -' padio broadcasts which "revealed" that Soviet agents have obtained all secret information from the files of the National Security Agency, Central Intelligence Agency and the FBI through a scientific process which causes officials to act in oehalf of the Soviets without being aware they are doing so. Since Lambrecht does not explain this in his correspondence, . his letters are being referred by the recipient either to a a near-by field office or to me. Inquiries concerning this individual should be answered with the statement that Lambrecht, during interviews on numerous éccasions by Special Agents, has furnished no information of value to the FBI. lLambrecht's letters are not acknowledged by the Bureau.

This section now provides that “prompt and stringent administrative action shall be taken against any officer or employee determined to have been knowingly responsible for any release or disclosure of- classified defense information or material except in the manner authorized by these regulations." Sections 306 through 311 of the new regulations, on Group Categories," change the marking which must be shown on classified material. Former regulations required that classified national defense information be marked "Top Secret," "Secret," or "Confidential" according to degree of importance. The new regulations continue this practice but also require that each of the above classifications be followed by a group ‘designation and legend. The purpose of these group designations, and appropriate legend in each case, is to permit automatic downgrading of classified detense information with the passage of time, and eventual declassification in some cases. Note, however, that information under the Atomic Energy Act and that involving "intelligence or eryptography" ts in Group 1 and thus "excluded from automatic downgrading and declassification.' The practical result is that classified national defense material originated by the FBI will be marked@"Top Secret, p="Secret," or # confidential," as in the past, with the addition of the new marking "Group 1 - excluded from automatic dawngrading and declassification." A typical marking under the new regulations will appear as- follows: CONFIDENTIAL Group 1 Excluded from automatic downgrading and declassification Note that the classification and group wording should appear in box form as shown above, rather than written out ina continuous line. This arrangement is desired by the Department of Justice and other Federal agencies as a matter of uniformity. The Bureau will have rubber stamps prepared with the group wording shown above. Advise the Bureau immediately by routing slip, Attention: "Property Management Section" of the number of stamps required by your office. he wording may be put on the document by a typewriter until she@tubber stamps are received from the Bureau. 10/9/62 SAC LETTER NO. 62-56 -3-

June 2, 1964 ,, WASHINGTON, D.C. 20535 File No, (A) PHOTOGRAPHIC MATS ;ERS.A COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY -- SAC-Letter 62-56 (A) dated 10-9-62, set forth basic considerations relative to the use of color film. Based on experience to date, it is felt the quality of the field color photography can be improved. Accordingly, the following information ‘is set forth for your information and guidance. Ektacolor Professional Film Type S is the only color film recommended. Ektacolor is a color negative process from which color prints, black and white prints and color slides can be made. Kodachrome, Ektachrome and Anscochrome are positive film and in order to make prints from these, a copy negative must be prepared. Whenever this is done some quality of reproduction is lost and in addition more work is involved. The Bureau's Photographic Unit cannot process -’ Kodachrome film and if this is sent to the Bureau, it must be processed *° .  eommercially, thus wasting timg and inecreasing,costs.-> When taking color flash shots with thé Speed Graphicicamera, No. 11 blue flash bulbs should be used.” These can be obtained\from the (~. Bureau or secured locally. If it is not possible to obtain blue bulbs and aad clear bulbs are used, then a No. 80€ filter must be used over the lens. To get the most natural color prints, it is suggested that a Kodak neutral test card (gray card) be utilized. This card should be placed at the edge of the subjéct area where it receives the same lighting as the subject matter. It is required in only one photograph of a particular subject matter provided there is no change in location or lighting. If a gray card is not used, then descriptive data should be set forth in the accompanying com- munication, The descriptive data should give the color of the background wall, color of clothing, ,colof of car, et cetera. ; The color éxpogiire data card, the film holder envelope and/or the green sheet accompanying each box of film contains all the information needed relative to exposure settings. After exposure the film should be promptly forwarded to the Bureau, attention Mechanical Section, witha notation that it is color film. Loaded film holders can be retained for that period which is recommended on the film holder envelope. Loaded film holders should never be stored in the refrigerator. Film packed in its factory-sealed container will endure somewhat longer and refrigeration, if available, will ~ extend the period even longer. Regardless of type of packaging do not JNW.55041 DBoold: 32589525 Page 31

In warm weather it should be insulated-from heat and never placed in a closed automobile compartment. ' It has been ascertained that many of the 4x 5 Speed Graphic cameras are being set ingorrectly thereby resulting in poor quality flash pictures: There is a synchronization lever at the five o'clock position on the shutter. It has the following markings: OFF, F-X, a red Mandablack M. The OFF position must be used whenever either blue or clear flash bulbs are used. under exposed negatives. The F-X position is used for electronic flash. The two M positions are used for types of flash bulbs not used by the Bureau. Always check to insure the lever is in the OFF position wher using No. 11 flash bulbs. Several field offices have inquired as to the availability of Polaroid Land film holders for use with the Speed Graphic camera. Controlled tests “made at the Bureau have determined that the quality of Polaroid color prints is inferior to that of Ektacolor Professional Film ype 8. Since in most .. instances more than one photograph is required, use of Polaroid film - necessitates photographing the Polaroid print in or der to obtain additional copies, This results in additional expense and, further, prints obtained in this manner show a loss of detail. Accordingly, the Bureau dees not anticipate purchase or utilization of Polaroid Land film holders 4or color photography - with Speed Graphic cameras. 6/2/64 ° [ SAC LETTER NO. 64-28 : (B) PERS NNEL MATTERS - WEIGHT PROGRAM -- Certain personnel actions including gromotion matters involving Spesial Agents and male cle ical employees require comméhts from the SAC or appropriate supervisory employee regarding the weight of the individual or individuals in the recommended action in order that it can be determined that these persons have confgrmed lo the Bureau's weight standards.

ARNT oem OY ote eee area (D) MOTOR VEHICLE SEAT BELT ACT -- Publi¢ Law 88-201 was passed by the 88th ‘Congress and signed by the President on’December 13, 1963. This law. requires the Secretary of Commerce to prescribe and publish in the Federal Register, not later than one year after enactment, minimum standards for seat belts for use in motor vehicles other than those of carriers subject to safety regulations under Part II of the Interstate Commerce Act. This statute makes unlawful the introduction, sale or delivery in interstate commerce, of any seat belt manufactured on or after the effective date of this provision which does not meet the prescribed. standards. Although this legislation became law upon its enactment, the statute states that its criminal provisions shall take effect on such date as the Secretary of Commerce shall determine, but such date shall be not less than 180 days nor more than one year aiter the date of publication of standards by the Secretary of Commerce. The criminal provisions under this act carry a fine of not more than $1,000, or imprisonment of not more than one year or both. Although this legislation names no agency to assume investigative ' jurisdiction for violations of its provisions, the Department has advised that MW 35041 the FBI will have investigative responsibility. The Departmént states that routine inspéction and spot checking of plants and distributing outlets have not yet been settled, but this matter will ‘be left within the discretion of the Department of Commerce. The Commerce - Department has been advised by the Justice Department that the FBI will not undertake such routine inspection procedures. The Department has advised the Bureau will be informed as the procedures are worked out. As mentioned above, it is not known with certainty when the criminal provisions of this law will become effective, it being the responsibility of the Secretary of Commerce to set up the effective date. The foregoing information regarding this bill is being set out for your information in the event inquiries are received in the field. When further information is received from the Department concerning procedures being set up by the Commerce Department and the effective date of the criminal section of this statute, you will be further advised. Until that time, if inquiries are received under this legislation they should be referred to the Department of Commerce.

The size 7.50-14 tire will no longer be manufactured as such and the corresponding tire in the "low profile’ class is 7.75-14. The new tire will fit on the present wheels; however, it has a wider tread and cross section and a shorter sidewall than the 7.50-14 tire. For this reason the tire manufacturers recommend these tires be utilized in pairs if all four tires are not the same size, i.e. , both front or both rear tires should be the same size. Tires presently manufactured and being furnished the Bureau for replacement purposes are marked as follows as to size: '7.75-14 replaces 7,50-14.". Accordingly, these new tires should be paired as recommended when replacements are made. This is of utmost importance during the initial changeover period. Thereafter the situation will gradually resolve itself as all tires on our vehicles are replaéed by the new_size. — .

These prints are reproduced from 16 or 35mm negative roll film and can be made up to 11" wide. The cost of making these prints decreases with the number produced and based on current production, each copy costs approximately $.036, excluding labor. Excellent quality reproduction can be obtained from written, typed, printed or drawn documentary-type material but photographs of individuals or scenes (tone photcgraphs) will not reproduce with any detail or clarity. S ra If yout have any sizeable number of reprodactions to make, this method should receive consideration. In those instances where a 18 or 35mm camera is not available to photograph the material, direct a communication to the Mechanical Section, Administrative Division, setting forth the - Circumstances. If feasible, the Mechanical Section will photograph the material and provide the necessary negative. Requests for Xerox prints Should be directed to the Mechanical Section. ° oe ome
‘Those offices using 35mm roll film should note that henceforth the Bureau will purchase.both perforated and nonperforated 35mm film in 100' rolls only. Neither of these will have the nonsensitized leader and trailer; therefore, it will be necessary to advance the film far enough to run off the fogged area. ‘Fourteen complete turns of the crank are recommended for those cameras which have the crank advancer. In the near future a self-contained attache case unit will be provided to most field offices. This is a 35mm camera and takes up to 36 exposures. It is anticipated that this equipment will be used when a limited number of documents are to be photographed. Eastman Kodak Company has advised, effective immediately, all film packs produced by that firm will contain 16 exposures. Previously the Kodak film packs utilized in the Speed Graphic and fingerprint cameras contained 12 exposures.

Constructive efforts should be made to obtain above-average applicants having a proficiency in a foreign language, qualified in science or accounting, or qualified under our temporary modified requirements. The Bureau will continue to offer appointments to those applicants who are found acceptable six months prior to their availability dates. Each office is expected to recruit a sufficient number of qualified ap- plicants to enable the Bureau to meet its ever-increasing responsibilities and the failure to equitably share in this program will result in the imposition of a quota on each otfice. - Continue to submit on the first and the fifteenth of each month airtel summaries outlinin An detail your accomplishments with respect to the recruitment of Spe cial Agent applican o/ AsI have said on numerous occasions, no work is more important than prop- erly inierviewing, evaluating and investigating applicants for positions witn the FBI. Inte views and investigations must be exhZustive and designed: to uncover any information bearing on tneir suitability for Bureau employment. “AS you are aware, the interview is one of the most important steps in the processing of Bureau applicants and the applicatic is the basis for the interview. The interviewing official ghould insure that the applicatic: has been completely executed. Be alert for deficiencies such as gaps in employment anc residence, unanswered questions and incomplete information on relatives. Fully explore during the interview information included on the application such as physical defects, arrests, pending suits, and failure to register for Selective Service. Naturally, any questionable items should } pe specifically commented upon by the interviewing oificial on the FD-1S0 (interview sheet). An applicant applying under the science program must submit a transcript ci his college record so that it may be determined whether he qualifies for consideration under this program. Tne transcript should be forwarded to the Bureau with the applica- tion and related papers. If there is any doubt in the mind of the interviewing official as < whether an applicant applying under our modified program possesses the necessary qualifying experience, the applicant should be requested to submit, along with his appli- cation, a detailed resume outlining his experience. There must be no delay in the -~ aed
C , processing and submission to the Bureau of the application and related papers. Prior to arranging a physical examination, draft or military status should be completely resolved. If applicant has had no prior military service and has been classified 1-A, 2-A, 2-8, 1-Y¥, or 4-F, his local draft board must be contacted at the outset to deter- mine if an occupational deferment would be granted him if offered an appointment as a Special Agent or, if appropriate, whether the physical defect which resulted in his 1-Y or 4-F classification would disqualify him for further consideration for the Special Agent position. If the applicant is a member of a reserve component, it must be determined whether he is currently a Standby Reservist or would be eligible for transfer to this category if appointed as an Agent. For your information, Inactive Reserve and Standby Reserve are not synonymous as members of the Ready Reserve can also be in an inactive status. . When arranging a physical examination at a Government facility, you should take the necessary steps to insure that the facility has in its possession all pertinent information concerning the applicant's medical history, which may have been brought to light by information furnished by the applicant on his application, or developed during the course of his formal interview, or by checks of Selective Service records. If applicant has been treated for a serious illness or injury by his private physician or in a hospital, srtinent records should be reviewed and the information secured made available to the examining facility. Such action will permit the facility to make an accurate determination as to whether or not the applicant can be certified for duty as a Special Agent. Specific comments should be secured from the examining physician on any defects brought to his attention. Effective liaison should be maintained with all Government examining facilities in your area to insure prompt receipt of oral and written results. ‘The investigation of the applicant must be penetrative and every logical source of information contacted to resolve any information developed affecting his suit- ability for employment. For example, in verifying an applicant's educational background dc not limit your inquiry to the applicant's scholastic performance. Secure pertinent information concerning extracurricular activities while in school since this information will furnish a more complete picture of his suitability for Bureau employment. Your investigation in this regard must, of course, include contacts with faculty members and fellow students whenever possible. Investigations of applicants being considered under | our modified program are to include comments from supervisors and co-workers regard-| ing the exact nature of the applicant's administrative, supervisory or investigative | responsibilities. Jn connection with a commissioned officer applying under this program, » it is imperative that the Bureau be furnished with comments which appear in his person- — nel folder relating to his performance while in an active-duty status. In cases where it is developed that an applicant has relatives with present or past questionable reputations, _ ~ 496/65 wAC LETTER NO. 65-4 ~4- 8 NW 35041 Doold:i32989525 Page 46
their current reputations should be clearly established during the course of your investi - gation. In so doing, you should determine the degree of association and contact between applicant and these relatives and also the degree of. influence exerted on the applicant | DY these relatives. I am not at all satisfied with your accomplishments in connection with the i recruitment of qualified Special Agent applicants from the minority groups. We havea need for Chinese-speaking Agents who are fluent in either the Mandarin and Toyshan or the Mandarin and Cantonese dialects. All logical sources; including universities and military installations, should be contacted in an effort to secure applicants with the above~ ‘mentioned qualifications, and your efforts in this regard are to be specifically set forth in your February 15 airtel summary of recruitment efforts. You have been previously advised of the importance of this program and I expect productive results. In order to meet our goals, it will be the personal responsibility of each Special Agent in Charge to insure that positive results are obtained.

As you know, such investigations were discontinued by SAC Letter 63-33 dated July 9, 1963. Bureau intends to approach problem of identifying Chinese Communist intelligence agents through a program designed to reveal cover stories. _ . We will consider for investigation any Chinese alien entering the United States as permanent resident or student who meets following criteria: (1). Alien has resided in or visited Communist China within the past five years; (2). At time alien last departed Communist China, alien was between mineteen and forty~five vears of age; (3). Alien had minimum of eight years of formal education; (4), At time of entry into the United States, was unaccompanied by mincr children, Each field office covering an Immigtation and Naturalization Service (INS) District Office,* which is a files control office, wili arrange to be furnished the INS file numbers. identifying aliens meeting the- ‘aforementioned four-point criteria. %, All Legal Attaches should submit background data on Chinese aliens meeting aforementioned four-point criteria and ~ who are granted visas to enter the United States, While most such aliens will receive visas from the United States Consulate General in Hong Kong and will be the responsibility of Legal Attache, Tokyo, the other Legal Attaches should remain alert for possible Chinese Communist intelligence agents utilizing third countries to enter the United States. After pertinent information concerning a Chinese alien has been obtained from INS or from an office of a Legal Attache, field office indices Should be searched and the results furnished to the Bureau. The initial letter to the Bureau from the field in cases originating with information from INS should contain a-dual caption; the Chinese alien’s name followed by the character,-"IS ~- CH," and the Second caption should be "Chinese Aliens Entering the United States, IS ~ CH." In cases originating with information obtained by Legal Attaches, the initial letter to the Bureau should contain Similar captions. 1/26/65 SAC LETTER NO. 65-4 -6 - BDoeld: S2989525° Page 45 ht ee es eaten pareundd

If Bureau files contain no pertinent information regarding the subject, Sponsor or immediate relatives residing in the United States, one copy will be furnished. the office of origin appropriately stamped, if derogatory information is located in Bureau files, such information will be furnished to the interested office. . Interviews should not be conducted until the results of Bureau indices check are received. If available, the letter to the Bureau should also contain the subject’s name in Mandarin and Cantonese dialects and the omuyree Telegraphic Code number. Consideration should then be given to interview of subject. Bureau authority will be required for interviews of subjects and their sponsors when subject or sponsor is employed in news media, entertainment, public, educational or religious fields or is a labor leader or, prominent person. Similarly, Bureau authority will be required if subject or sponsor is student at an institution of learning; when a Congressman has shown an interest in the subject; or when there is some indication the subject is an intelligence agent. If interview is conducted, it should have as primary objective the obtaining of completely detailed background information. You should attempt to obtain that type of information which normally would be falsified in preparation of a cover story. The most effective cover stories are those which contain as few faisifications as possible. Therefore, interviewers should concentrate on those facts which must be falsified, namely those periods when training and instructions were received in intelligence operations. Upon completion of interview and if no further investigation is indicated, the SASe should be closed. The investigation preceding the intervatew should be held to an absolute minimum, At the end of a year, the case is to be reopened to determine subject's employment and residence, and logical security informants should be checked for information.

Specifically, this interview should cover all the Significant data furnished in the first interview. If a cover story is involved, a reinterview after two years should disclose Significant discrepancies in the facts related by the alien during the two widely separated interviews.

This new device which is a small plastic squeeze bottle with a tube attached accomplishes the same job more efficiently and expeditiously, In the cap of the plastic bottle is a small detector disk ’ which is chemically impregnated. By inserting the tube into the gas tank the suspect gasoline is drawn into the bottle through the white detector disk. If any of the tagged material is present it will cause a pink discoloration on the disk. This is a simple operation which can be accomplished ina matter of seconds and is vastly superior to previous methods. As in the original technique for the tagging of gasoline (FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin, November, 1954), ‘the tagging chemical will be a solution of pherolphthalein in ethyl alcohol or methyl alcohol. For each 10.000 gallons of gas to be marked one pint of the tagging chemical will be added, for each 5,000 gallons of gas, 8 ounces or one-half pint; etc. Adequate. mixing of the tagging chemical and the gasoline is essential. . So, where possible, the tagging chemical should be poured slowly in Small amounts at intervals into the storage tank at the time new gasoline is being added. MW 55041 Docld:32999525 Page Si

The tagging solution will be included in the gasoline testing kit, two photographs of which are attached. From actual tests, it has been found that no damage will be incurred by the engine using fuel tagged by this method. It’ is requested that each field division advise the Bureau, Attention: FBI Laboratory, of the number of kits required consistent with the potential and needs of each office. Consideration should be given to the number of Government installations within the field division and past experience with gasoline thefts. You should also consider the fact that this technique could be of assistance | in bringing to light offenses which hitherto went undetected.

This potentially dangerous fugitive group has been sub- stantially enlarged with the general increase in criminal activity and the Bureau's expanded jurisdiction, which has resulted in an ever-increasing. volume of fugitive cases. Several recent apprehensions have; fightignted the need for careful preparation in the pursuit of fugitive leads. Serious consequences to Agent personnel have been averted due to decisive, courageous action taken under extremely adverse circumstances. Detailed careful planning, full knowledge of the fugitive’s background, current precise physical description with recent good-likeness photograph of fugitive, and utilization of sufficient manpower should serve to cut down on the frequency of emergency situations which might give temporary advantage to the arrestee. ‘It is felt that the following specific examples will serve to be of considerable benefit in the investigation -and planning of arrest situations. In one case where the suspect was in possession of identification showing him to be another individual, an Agent sought to establish an identity by tattoos on suspect's arms. On the request of Agent to remove sleeve of jacket for inspection of forearm for tattoos, the suspect mani- fested a willingness to comply but when the arm was removed from the jacket sleeve the Bureau Agent was confronted with an automatic weapon in his hand... Quick, courageous action on the part of the Agent in the execution of a disarming technique while the subject's attention was temporarily distracted prevented the suspect from carrying out his.avowed intent to kill the Agent. In another case while two Agents were seeking to identify a person reported possibly identical with an Identification Order fugitive, the suspect who was employed in a hospital produced a weapon from a hospital garment pocket. Here again aggressive, determined, courageous conduct on the part of the apprehending Agents subdued the fugitive, aithough one Agent did sustain.a gunshot wound. Ina third case involving investi- gation in a remote rural area, a bank robbery fugitive who had assumed the identity of a farmer was fortuitously located while walking on a country road with hands in pockets. Immediately upon realization that he was being 3/23/65 SAC LETTER NO. 65-15 -3-

He also indicated his intention to kill the Agent. Another bank robbery fugitive, when Agents approached to make an apprehension, fired at the Agents before being apprehended. There have been a number of instances where weapons have been found on the person or in close proximity of the arrestee. Frequently, these individuals have indicated that had they the opportunity the firearms would have been used to resist arrest. This is being brought to your attention in order that you will carefully consider each and every arrest situation. It has been the Bureau's experience that the case classification is not always a proper criterion to evaluate the dangerousness of the subject. It has been found deserters, check passers, and even persons being sought for crimes against property are extremely dangerous when confronted with the loss of liberty. The continuing over-all increase in fugitive accomplishments, including prompt apprehensions which have been obtained in a large number of cases involving badly wanted persons, who in some instances have assaulted or killed local officers, testifies to the enthusiastic, aggressive and thorough manner in which Agents are approaching these investigations. I desire that Agents conducting fugitive investigations be made aware of my views, together with the admonition to thoroughly develop such investi- gations, carefully plan steps to check out a suspect or to arrest a subject and to not drop their guard even for a moment during the execution of - their assignment. By doing so, we should be able to continue the excellent Cc NW 55041 progress which has been made and, at the same time, maintain maximum protection to innocent individuals and to our personnel.

' H AB Neate aad RRM AY (F) ‘SURVEILLANCE PHOTOGRAPHY MATTER ~- The Bureau has for several years madé available to the figld an ultra high speed filtn for surveillance photography in low light, level’situations such as a dimly/lighted street or entry way at night. Originally this was Eastman Kodak Royal-X Recording film which has now been replaced with Eastman Kodak 2475 Recording film. The 2475 Recording film has increased speed in incandescent illumination due to increased sensitivity of this film to red and infrared illumination. If the source of the © illumination is incandescent the normal speed rating of the film is ASA 1600 (Tri-X film normally supplied to the field is ASA 400) but if the source of the illumination is fluorescent the rating is ASA 1200. By extending processing time for this film the speed rating may be increased as much as ASA 4000 to ASA 10,000 depending upon the subject matter, light direction, etc. Itis ' recommended under adverse lighting conditions that the meter be set for an index of 4000 and that the film be developed in DK 50 developer at 68 degrees Fahrenheit for eight minutes. This processing of the film will produce maximum film density. Normal processing for this film is five minutes in DK 50 at 68 degrees Fahrenheit. There should be constant agitation during the processing and'the film should be handled only in total darkness. f To make use of the maximum potential of the 2475 Recording film the exposure and development must be fitted to the subject type and lighting conditions. Ordinarily this can best be determined through test exposures made at the scene. However, in emergencies, meter readings made with a Gossen Lunasix light meter set as indicated above shouid provide good indications of necessary camera settings and processing time. . Because of the extreme sensitivity of the 2475 Recording film, it is imperative that the film be loaded into the camera and unloaded from the camera only in total darkness. The 35mm film cassettes should not be removed: from the cans in a lighted room prior to loading the film into a camera and should be replaced in the can in the dark at the time the camera is unloaded. Eastman Kodak's 2475 Recording film is a special order item and is not available through local suppliers. The Laboratory maintains supplies of both 16mm and 35mm sizes and will furnish required amounts on request.

October 3, 1967 (A) TRAINING - POL?TE -4 Ihave been concerned about the mounting . rime Yate and what ley “enforcement in the United States can do to -reverse this undesirabjé trend. All of the causes of crime in this generation have not been identified to date, despite tremendous public and private research in this field. Certainly there are some causes of crime, particularly those in the socio-economic area, which law enforcement as a group can do very little about. Ifeel, however, that since the American police service represents the first line in the war _ against crime, an over-all increase in law enforcement effectiveness would have an appreciable effect on the crime rate. J believe our field police instructors can provide a noteworthy contribution in this regard by emphasizing the following factors during field police training schools: nh pee arenes 1 ON amet eee erates bere 1. The effectiveness ofpolice investigative, patrol, and other line functions must be increased. This means not only affording the individual officer adequate training in how to do the job, but also motivating him to the point where he strives for individual excellence in his performance. ‘ ad CN 2. There must be an improvement in police supervisory. and management techniques to enable proper and close supervision of operating personnel. Selection procedures must be strengthened to insure only the best enter the police service and controls such as inspections must be designed to aid in obtaining high productivity and adherence to departmental rules and policies. As you know, the latest management techniques are being given to local law enforcement administrators by field instructors and by management instructors from the Training Division. There must be more emphasis and training in the vital areas of supervision and administration. In scheduling schools for command and administrative personnel, you should not overlook the desirability of using outstanding instructional personnel from business, industry and the educational field. All of our advanced training must be on a highly sophisticated basis. NW 35041 Doocld: 32959525. Page 70 : m4 4
tee a NW 55041 - Doecld: 32989525. Page Fi 3. There must be high standards of ethics and integrity prevalent in all ranks of law enforcement. Corruption at any level of a law enforcement agency may completely defeat the attainment of the agency's objectives and goals. We should take advantage of every opportunity in field police training schools to stress the importance of ethics and integrity and, where appropriate, separate lectures should . be afforded on these topics. We are living in a time when the average citizen is becoming more and more concerned about crime and the efficiency of law enforce- ment. Training is a proven important factor in upgrading the quality of police service. Every police instructor should recognize his responsibility to improve law enforcement effectiveness through his personal efforts. 10/3/67 BAC LETTER 67-59 &) DRAIN {ING - SPECIALIZED PHOTOGRAPHIC -- The FBI Labor ratory, in the near future, will conduct additional specialized photd graphic schools for the purpose of making available to all head- quarters cities an agent trained in specialized photography. Upon justification, such training will also be provided to additional agents in larger headquarters cities as well as other areas where past experience and kinds of work handled indicate potential need for such agents. You are reminded that specialized photographic training furnished by the Laboratory includes work with long-range lenses, remote-controlled cameras, camera concealments, darkroom procedures ° as well as nighttime, crime scene, color, ‘document and related photo- graphic problems. Classes are scheduled for two weeks each, conducted at Bureau Headquarters, Washington, D. C., and at the FBI Academy, Quantico, and confined to six agents each in order that equipment and darkroom space for practical work will be available. Each SAC should re-evaluate his current needs for agents _ with this training. In this regard, agents trained only in surveillance photography (1963-64 series of schools) should not be considered fully trained in making this evaluation and these agents may be recommended 10/3/67 SAC LETTER 67-59 -2-
for one of the pending schools provided they otherwise qualify. Keep in mind that properly trained personnel is necessary to effectively operate much of the highly sophisticated photographic equipment and to apply the photographic techniques that are available today. Agent personnel not trained in this specific area cannot adequately handle the non-~ routine photographic assignments nor recognize the potential of such applications. Also, the effective applications of photography in locating, recording, and retaining all kinds of evidence as an important law en- forcement too] take on added importance in the face of the increase in crimes in all categories and in view of the increased limitations placed by the courts on the use of certain kinds of evidence. ahem AD Wat Fi Ea Fae See Fach SAC should recommend only agents qualified and avail- able to receive this specialized training. Set forth basic qualifications for agents named including prior experience or work in basic photography, aptitude, interest and patential future tenure in the Bureau's service. Any office that does not have an agent qualified to receive the training described herein but has a need for such an agent, should set forth this fact. If agents are available with outstanding qualifications for this training but are not needed for this specific purpose in their respective offices, these should.also be named so that consideration can be given to providing them with such training in light of the Bureau's continuing overall needs in this field.

These ' provisions are to become effective October 1, 1967. This law deals mostly with increased allowances for disability compensation, pension ‘payments, and educational allowances for veterans of the military services since the beginning of the Vietnam Era. It extends the eligibility period for World War II veterans relative to obtaining Veterans Administration guaranteed home loans to July 25, 1970. It also provides new training benefits for veterans. Eligible veterans will be able to take flight training, on-the-farm training in conjunction with farming courses at approved educational institutions, and on-the-job training through approved apprenticeship or training programs. Veterans taking advantage of these benefits will receive allowances from the Veterans Administration for up to thirty-six months at training. * Since these increased allowances and new benefits expand the areas of possible fraud, you should insure that your liaison with the regional offices of the Veterans Administration is such that vio- lations involving false statements and false claims by veterans, employers or educational institutions relative to these allowances and benefits are promptly referred to your office. Such violations will continue to be prosecuted under the false claim and false statement statutes, Sections 287 and 1001, Title 18, United States Code, respectively. In the future, cases in this classification are to be carried under the single character Veterans Administration Matters, inasmuch as a dual character to indicate the act under which the cases arose no longer serves any useful administrative purpose to the Veterans Administration or to the Bureau. The above will be incorporated in a revision ‘of the Veterans Administration Matters sections of the FBI Handbook and Manual of Instructions which are being prepared. pm eater amen 10/3/67 SAC LETTER 67-59 -4-
Baatig on wae Re eNO nerd, FE RE a i REST A Foe > C~ (D) CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS - ACCOMPLISHMENTS -- Increased supply "stop-gap" manpower to certain Resident Agencies when they investigative responsibilities dictate that. our accomplishments show a comparable gain:. Fiscal Year 1967 yielded an all-time high of 13, 032 convictions resulting from our investigative efforts. The many - obstacles confronting us, such as crowded court conditions, shortages of judges and prosecuting attorneys, require us to take every logical step to insure our accomplishments are depicted in the most favorable . form. Toward this end, the Bureau solicited the observations of field offices which had contributed substantial conviction gains during Fiscal Year 1967 in order to analyze the results and determine what steps, programs and procedures were utilized by them to achieve their success. Upon review of the replies received, the general underlying theme was that each of these offices immediately recognized cases with prosecutive potential and followed these cases aggressively up through the prosecutivé stage. In addition, these offices felt that the results obtained were due to a large extent to the excellent liaison and close rapport they had maintained with the United Siates Attorneys and their staffs. There follows a summary of some of the methods utilized by these offices during Fiscal Year 1967 which may merit your con-~ sideration and appraisal within your own field office as a means to obtain greater accomplishments: 1. Extensive use of police training programs to educate local police officers as to our investigative jurisdiction. These schools were also used as a means of restoring the confidence of local police through legal matter courses so that they are familiar with the legality of arrests and searches, thereby insuring the acceptance of these local procedures should the case be tried in Federal Court. 2. A revitalized criminal informant program which not only creates more cases within our jurisdiction, but furnishes information which will give proper direction to those cases under investigation. 3. Assurances by the Special Agent in Charge that he will become involved in time-consuming prosecutable cases. 10/3/67 SAC LETTER 67-59 -5- NW 55041 Doold: 32989525 Pade 74 _ . _ i

Proper indoctrination and training to insure that Agents presenting cases to United States Attorneys are fully armed with all the vital facts and that these presentations are carried out with the Bureau's best interest in mind. In this regard, some offices have successfully utilized selected personnel to handle all presentations. 6. In some instances, these offices noted that Assistant United States Attorneys either through timidity or lack of experience do not render prosecutive opinions. In such situations, these offices suggested to the United States Attorney that he present the facts to a grand jury if one is sitting in the immediate future, thereby precluding him from having to make a decision in the matter. 7. Making certain that Special Agents are specifically as- signed liaison with sources of cases and insuring that regular contact is made so that matters within our jurisdiction are promptly referred and investigation immediately instituted where cases have prosecutable potential. The above data is being furnished for your information and guidance ana these observations should be borne in mind by you and your supervisory staff. I cannot overemphasize the absolute necessity for each office to contribute equitably to the Bureau's accomplishments and you will be held personally accountable for this important phase of the operations of your office. 10/3/67 SAC LETTER 67-59 ~ 6-

A number of recent incidents indicate a need to once again emphasize that the spirit and letter of the MU clearly give the FBI primary investigative jurisdiction in all but minor TGP and related violations whether involving.civilian or military offenders or both. The MU specifically requires the military to advise the FBI of TGP and related violations involving military subjects. However, the MU also permits the military to investigate such matters unless the military receives prompt advice that the FBI will undertake the investigation. rm When the case is one that the FBI should investigate, you -should promptly advise the military that the FBI will assume investi- gative jurisdiction. There should be no need tg consult the United States Attorney in each and every instance before accepting jurisdiction from the military as the MU specifically states, "...decisions with respect to the appiication in particular cases of the provisions of the Memorandum of Understanding will be made... between... the local office of the FBI and the local Military Commander." You should, of course, maintain close liaison with the United States Attorney and consult with him in particular cases when such action is desirable. Note, however, that in some instances, for example, embezzlements of Government property, the seriousness of the violation may not be known at the outset and any discussion with the United States Attorney prior to investigation may be premature. While you should continue to be alert for deviations from the MU by the military, you should also be alert to the necessity of taking positive action when a United States Attorney or one of his assistants renders an opinion not in accord with the MU.. You should, of course, 10/3/67 SAC LETTER 67-59 -7- BDoold: 32989525 .- Page 76 To ery
H ‘ WW 55041 Doold: 32989525 Page 77 make every effort to resolve these matters ona local level. Recently two offices that received an opinion from an Assistant United States Attorney which was contrary to the spirit and letter of the MU arranged a conference with the United States Attorney and appropriate members of his staff. In both instances, the United States Attorneys agreed that their offices had not handled the matter properly and promised full compliance with the MU in the future. The MU was designed to give general guidelines in areas where the Departments of Defense and Justice have concurrent investi- gative and prosecutive jurisdiction and each case is to be decided on its own merits within these guidelines. However, if a military offender is involved in a serious theft of Government property or similar vio- lation, there is no doubt but that primary investigative jurisdiction is with the FBI. It should be a rare case with exceptional circumstances before this jurisdiction is turned over to the military. ; During recent years, there has been a substantial increase in Government spending both at home and abroad. Agencies such as the General Services Administration (GSA) and the Defense Supply Agency (DSA) are custodians of millions of dollars worth of Government property. Some recent FBI investigations have shown that large-scale theft rings are operating at various Government supply facilities and not infrequently the victimized agency is unable to state how much or what kind of property is missing, f This and related problems are currently being discussed with GEA and the Department of Defense at the Headquarters level. The Bufeau desires to know of any instances where inadequate record keeping or ineffective inventory procedures are hampering the investigations of these cases. ach office should reappraise its investigative program in the TGP field to assure that liaison and informant coverage are effective and that violations are being thoroughly investigated. The above should be brought to the attention of appropriate personnel. 10/3/67 SAC LETTER 67~59 - 8 -

You are reminded that all interviews with potential informants must be handled in a circumspect manner which will preclude the possibility of embarrassment to the Bureau. These instructions in no way lessen your responsibility: to ‘insure your office has a continuous and well-planned program to broaden your informant coverage.

Several varieties of cameras of this type are available. The (Besel} r ~ Topcon 35mm camera, one of the Bureau's basic cameras, can be “operated as a remote sequence camera when used with an available electric motor accessory. The Beatfie~Coleman 35mm camera is also available. This camera is builijspecifically for such use and is available with a sound-proof jacket which provides for secure in- -stallations. rr . One office was recently successful in obtaining photo- "4 graphs of approaching automobiles along a busy highway at speeds as high as 70 miles per hour with sufficient definition to clearly read license plates. Even though the photography was conducted from a moving vehicle, it had to be done discreetly due to the nature of the case. To accomplish this photography, a Beseler Topcon 35mm camera with a motor attached was mounted in front of the radiator back of the front grill of the vehicle with a remote operating cable wired to the passenger's side of the dash. For this photography, the oo camera was equipped with a 58mm f2.8 Topcor lens set at a focusing CO distance of 30 feet and Eastman Kodak Tri-X ‘film was used ata shutter speed at 1/1000th of a second. The lens diaphragm opening (f-stop) was set appropriate to the light available based on exposure meter readings. ‘ ; Chany oe de a mle 4 te TW Camera installations such as that“described above could also be used to obtain identifiable photographs of individuals along a. street under certain circumstances and might be particularly useful for discreetly photographing a subject at night in the headlights of a vehicle. In another application, the Topcon camera with motor was used through an altered back-up light lens of an automobile. In this application, the camera was operated by an Agent in the trunk of the automobile. This general technique has been used previously; however, the motor attached to the camera enabled the operator to make a larger number of exposures within a short period of time and also allowed more time for observations since less time had to be devoted to the mechanics of operating the camera. ae 4/23/68 SAC LETTER 68-24 ~3- on ‘ ae np kt en ieee annneerewer NW 35041 Docld: 32909525 - Page 82

Such cameras, suitably concealed and disguised can be activated by appropriate switches placed in doorways, activated by removal of items stolen, et cetera. In requesting Laboratory assistance in the applications of motorized sequence cameras similar to those described herein, full details resulting from a survey of the area where the photography is to be conducted should be furnished the FBI Laboratory. Agents who have completed the FBI Laboratory’s Specialized Photographic Training pO available in most offices are familiar with these potential applications : € and are best equipped to make surveys in the field preparatory to ° furnishing required information to the Laboratory. On receipt of justified field requests and adequate preliminary information, appropriate ‘ equipment, including concealments when required, will be assembled and prepared in the Laboratory suitable to each potential application.

(C) MATTERS REFERRED FOR PROSECUTION BY UNITED STATES ATTORNEYS (FORM FD-387) - AUTOMOBILE RECOVERIBS (FORM FD-410) -- For attrial period beginning April 1, 1969, Form FD-387 will not be utilized to record cases referred or sentences received in local or military courts concerning these referrals. L Z.. It is desired, however, that each office maintain an accurate record of the total number of cases referred by month. It will not be necessary to break these down by classification nor is it desired that you determine disposition in local or military courts. Itis suggested that the necessary record can be easily maintained by opening a subfile and directing thereto a copy of each communication in which the United States Attorney's opinion is confirmed. Such communications can be totaled at the end of each month so that a continuing record is available. “On July 1, 1969, each office-ghould submit a communication to the Bureau, attention Voucher- Statistical Section, captioned "Matters Referred for Prosecution by United States Attorneys," setting forth the number of referrals for April, May and June, 1969. On October 1, 1969, a si milar communication should be submitted for the months of July, August and September, 1969. Effective April 1, 1969, Form FD-410 should be utilized in reporting all stolen motor vehicle recoveries.

April 1, 1969 (A) THE INVESTIGATOR -~ The Investigator, as our employee magazine, is primarily for and about all Bureau employees. The best meansof — creating and maintaining their interest is by insuring that the material published involves and covers as many offices and employees as possible. This is the reason each Field Office is required to have an Associate Editor who is responsible for seeing that his division is well represented, Some offices have an excellent record year after year. Others can do better with a little more effort. I want each SAC to encourage all employees of his division to fully cooperate with their Associate Editor so that The Investigator may reflect the activities and interests of as many employees and offices as possible. g ‘ | HW 55041 Doold:329895295 Page 86 . | lc rr

The instructioms contained in that memorandum are for your immediate guidance in all wiretapping and eavesdropping matters based on Title TH of the Oninibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968,, codified as Title 18, UY S. Code, Sections 2510 to 2520, inclusive. The referenced memorandum comprises a part-by-part explanation of Title III and the statement of certain policies which will be followed in the enforcement of that statute. You and your supervisory personnel must understand the law and follow the policies here established. Your attention is drawn in particular to several points. First, you must be conversant with the several types of conduct prohibited by the statute. These prohibitions not’only reveal the nature of the violations concerning which you will receive complaints and make investigations; they also mark the perimeter of permissible conduct for the investigative personnel.of your office. Second, you must follow the policies set out in the memorandum fcr various stages of each case, such as initiation of the case, investigation, and forfeiture of contraband. Third, you should . be constantly aware -of the exceptions to the general prohibitions against interception of (contmunications. For example, ngthing in the statute , prohibits a lavie enf orcément officer from picking up an extension telephone and listening toA telephone conversation, with the consent of one party/to that conversation, and then testifying to what he heard. Another exception allows law enforcement officers to intercept by court order. ' Your constant awareness of the exceptions is necessary to the effective discharge of the Bureau's responsibilities in other areas of our jurisdiction. It is through these exceptions, properly used, that important evidence may be obtained. You must be alert to possibilities for their use‘and suggest these to the Bureau both in the individual case and in -general. You must not make any use of forbidden interception devices, however, without specific and prior Bureau approval in the individual case. « a Very truly yours, John Edgar Hoover 4/1/69 Director SAC LETTER 69-21 -3- DocTd: 32989525 Page 85 ~ mad

To obtain additional prints of Polaroid photographs, a negative must be made and detail is lost. When color Polaroid film is used, a color shift is noted which prevents true colors from being repr oduced. Be sure cut sheet film is properly seated in holders and inserted so emulsion side is facing correct way. Bureau-has often found film is reversed, not seated properly, and misidentified as to color when it is black and white or vice versa. Discuss above rnatters with pertinent personnel.

FALSE STATEMENTS TO BUREAU AGENTS FRAUD AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT -- There has been a noticeable incr ease in the number of instances in which U.S. Attorneys have authorized*prosecution under Title 18, U. S. Code} Section 1001, without first obtaining authori- zation from: the appropriate Assistant Attorney General, Department of Justice, when false statements and complaints have been made to Bureau Agents. In many of these instances the Department has instructed the U. S. Attorneys to dismiss process since the facts do not warrant prosecution. For your guidance, the Department's memorandum 7318 to all U. S. Attorneys dated July 23, 1962, and as modified by its memorandum #331 dated November 5, 1962, stated that Title 18, U. S. Code, Section 1001, should be applied cautiously due to the tendency such prosecutions may have to discourage the making of legitimate complaints. These memoranda provide that no prosecution under this Statute involving false statements, oral or written, volunteered or otherwise, made to any’ Agent or investigator of any Department or agency of the Government, may be iniliated without permission of the appropriate Assistant Attorney General. ~ > . . . In July, 1967, the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in U. S. v. Adler, 380 F2d 917 (1967), upheld the eOnviction of Adler for making a false complaint of bribery on Government construction contracts to the New York FBI Office. On December 11, 1967, the U. S. Supreme. Court denied certiorari in the Adler case which leaves the conviction standing. Even though the Adler decision is favorable to the Bureau, there has been no change in the Department's views as expressed in its memoranda #'s 318 and 331. It has been the policy of the Department to limit prosecution to those deserving cases involving unsolicited false statements to investi- gative personnel which result in the expenditure of undue Agent investigative time and effort. All investigative personnel must be alert to the Department's policy in false statement cases during discussions with U. S. Attorneys. In instances where prosecution is being considered, the Agents must make certain that the U. S. Attorney has secured Department authority prior to initiating prosecutive action. Specific comments on this point are to be included in communications advising the Bureau of the pr osecutive action. 2/16/71 SAC LETTER 71-7 -2- I DoclTd: 32989525 Page i101

In order to preclude the Bureau becoming involved in a sirnilar incident in the future, no attempts are to be made to* ‘photogr aph. such visitors without the specific authority of the Surean. NV In each such incident of this nature the authority of the ‘Kttorney. General must be ebtained. Ample time must be allowed, therefore, in order to obtain such authority. ; i These instructions do not change previous requirements as | set out in SAC Letter 65-49, dated September i, 1965. 2/16/71 - _SAC LETTER 71-7 (G)i' TEN MOST WANTED FUGITIVES PROGRAM -- To insure continued success of the Ten Most Wanted Fugitives Program, this is to remind all offices ‘of their individual responsibility to wm ndertake independent, self~initiated investigation relative to each of these important cases. ' While offices of origin are responsible at the field level for giving direction to these cases, experience has demonstrated that most of these subjects are located outside the territory of the office of origin. As you know, present requirements (FBI Handbook, Part I, page 25) are that all continental offices must keep these cases pending and are to.fully exploit investigative techniques which are readily available, including _ Various record checks. [ { \); The fact that a number of the subjects on the Ten Most Wanted ‘Fugitives list presently being sought are associated with cases generally described as being in the “New Left" category underscores the need for closely coordinating these cases within each field division. Such cases provide an excellent opportunity for developing sources and informants, both in the criminal and security fields, and for close teamwork on the part of Agents working in both of these fields. Publicity given by news media to the mode of life adopted by persons in this category, including the: ease with which criminals of all types being sought can find assistance through these individuals and groups, makes it particularly important that 2/16/71 SAC LETTER 71-7 ~ cr t
Aine oe dm Kd this type of close coordination, including free exchange of, photographs and descriptive data, be maintained among all Agents. Continued efforts must be made to determine whether or nst any of the Ten Most Wanted Fugitives may be hidden out in so-called "communes" in either urban or rural areas of your territory. This must include continued full utilization of such investigative aids as publicity concerning these individuals, circularization through use of a letter con- taining photographs and descriptive data of the fugitives aimed at specific facets of the subjects’ backgrounds, special circularization of Identification Orders and Wanted Flyers, and judicious use of financial inducement. ‘With regard to the latter, Bureau clearance must be obtained, of course, in connection with any specific offer. ‘ Each office must, on a continuing basis, review cases on the Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list and, based on the facts within the particular field division, apply those techniques which offer the greatest potential for successful results. ta order for the Bureau to be informed of the extent of investi- gative activity which is being initiated throughout the field in these cases, you are instructed to-submit to the Bureau within two weeks of the date of this letter a comprehensive communication setting out by case caption a succinct summary of exactly what is being done to locate individuals on the Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list within your field division territory.

-() THUMBNAIL SKETCHES -- Under existing reporting procedures, thumbnail sketches prepared as appendix pages are affixed to reports and letterhead memoranda (LHMs) to characterize each subversive organization mentioned in the pertinent communication. In many’ instances, this has considerebly increased the size of the report or LHM. In order to save space, effect a monetary saving, and add to _ the readability of these documents, this procedure is being modified. Appendix page thumbnail sketches will continue to be required in Security of Government Employees and Applicant investigations, with such pages being added to the end of the communication. However, xepor ts and LHMs in all other security classifications. will contain an‘abbreviated_ characterization in the details immediately - following the first mention of an organization, and appending a thumbnail sketch will be eliminated. Field offices will continue to furnish current thumbnail sketches to the Bureau on an annual basis on organizations where they are office of origin. An abbreviated characterization of two or three lines will be included with these annual submissions, and the abbreviated version will be used in all security:classifications, exceptas noted. * for your guidance, the following abbreviated thumbnail Sketch of the Progressive Labor Party (PLP) has been approved by the Bureau: a The PLP was founded in 1962 by individuals expelled from the Communist , , Party, USA, for following the Chinese communist line. Its objective is the © establishment of a militant working-class movement based on Marxism- Leninism and MAO Tse-~tung thought. As is currently required, thumbnail sketches will first be approved at the Seat of Government and thereafter used throughout the field. Similar ly, Bureau approval of the abbreviated character- izations will also be required before field use. 2/16/71 SAC LETTER 71-7 -8- a Ww S5041 Doold: 32989525 Page i07
In order to implement this new procedure as soon as practical, all field offices are instructed to submit by April 1, 1971, abbreviated characterizations on organizations where they are origin and on which they have already submitted full-length thumbnail sketches. Each brief descriptive characterization should be ona separate page with a single cover communication referencing this SAC Letter. This procedure will also be followed when thumbnail sketches are submitted on organizations not presently characterized or whenever changes in existing thumbnail sketches become necessary.

In at least one case where the company's invitation was accepted, an attempt was made to explore the FBI's "reaction" to the demonstration to the extent that an inquiry was made of a United States Congressman. The Congressman was advised, and you are being reminded that, as a matter of policy, the FBI does not evaluate or reccmmend commercial products except for its own internal use. it later developed that‘an executive of the company has engaged in promoting investment in the concern among police officers claiming that the FBI has expressed interest in his equipment. It is recognized that occasionally a field office receives unsolicited information pertaining to’ technical eatiinment which may have application in our work. The FBI Laboratory wants to be aware of technical developments an ‘0 appreciates receiving material of this a sort from the field for evaluation.

The campaign involves widespread mailings of what purports to be a letter over my signature to former White House aide Walter J enkins, The first mailings of these letters occurred in January, 1965. Others were mailed in April, 1965. The most recent mailings were postmarked January 2, 1966, at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Baltimore, Maryland. The envelopes used in the mailings are either white or gray and bear a typewritten address, but no return address. They are stamped with an ordinary five cent stamp, a Christmas stamp, or a Robert Fulton commemorative stamp. The scurrilous contents of the en~elopes consist of a reproduction of a page from the 'U. S. News & World Report" magazine issue dated November 2, 1964, captioned "What the FBI Found in the Jenkins Case." On the reverse side of the page is a montage of what purports to be fragments of a letter bearing my signature, a letter to the President at the White House, and a typewritten comment . commencing "Dear Friend." Should such a letter come to your attention, the original envelope and its contents should be transmitted immediately to the Bureau marked for the attention of the FBI Laboratory, with the request that the typewriting be compared - with other specimens in this matter and that latent fingerprints be developed. In the recent flood of mailings, letters were directed to various Senators, Congressmen and other prominent Government officials in Washington, D. C. Among the recipients was Senator Bourke B. Hickenlooper, who requested that I furnish him with the complete facts, as known to this Bureau, concerning the anonymous communication received by him. Attached for your information is a copy of my reply to him. Senator Hickenlooper has advised me of his intention to have my reply printed in the ''Congressional Record."" As soon as this is done, reprints of it will be mailed by the Bureau to all the known recipients of the letters to date. In addition, reprints will be furnished to all field offices to be used in answering any inquiries which may be received concerning this widespread Soviet smear compaign, whether they originate from individuals who also may receive copies of the scurrilous letter or from other individuals such as members of the press who may hear about them and make inquiry of you concerning them. Until you receive such reprints, your replies to any inquiries received may be based on the information contained in my attached reply to Senator Hickenlooper. Very truly yours, John Edgar Hoover , .

My dear Senator: This is to acknowledge your request for the complete facts as known to this Bureau concerning the anonymous letter you received containing what purports to be a copy of a personal letter to former White House aide Walter Jenkins over my Signature. I am pleased to comply with your request and will begin first by stating without any equivocation that I never wrote such a letter. The letter you received is one of many anonymous mailings sent to various Senators, Congressmen, and other prominent Government officials within the past week, They are part of a concerted communist smear campaign which was launched a year ago, The campaign began in January, 1965, when several letters of this type were received by individuals who also brought them to my attention. Several more were brought to my attention by individuals who received them in April, 1965. Upon examination, the copy of the letter supposedly signed by me was determined to be a crude forgery. Comparison of ail the letters disclosed they had all been prepared by the same person or persons, Further comparison with other letters circulated in the past in this and other countries by the Soviet Disinformation Department proved irrefutably that this was a communist scheme, COPY ‘ MW 35041 Doold: 32899525 Page 116
