I feel that such publicity, especially that pertaining to the arrest and incarceration of the culprits, will serve as a definite deterrent to "amateurs" considering such crimes and convince them that the possibility of profit dces not warrant the risk involved. One method to acquaint the public with this problem is through feature articles regarding successful investigations conducted by your respective offices in this field. Inquiries concerning guidance and assistance in obtaining material not in your possession should be submitted to the attention of the Crime fe ate Roet * Research Sectioii.- 2/29/63 - a . .

You should hold sufficient conferences to cover your territory adequately and should choose sites readily accessible to all law enforcement agencies and banking-type —_ institutions in :our area. You are authorized to prepare friendly but businesslike circular letters of invitation to be forwarded to law eriforcement end representatives of all types of financial institutions and companies coming within the purview of the Bank Robbery and related Statutes. Conferences should be limited to ; four-to-six hours, of the open forum type, and necessary speeches restricted to not over fifteen minutes. Qualified-speakers from local law enforcement, the banking profession, and the United States Attorney's office may be scheduled as panelists and a free exchange of ideas and discussions of mutual problems snould be encouraged. The names of panelists must be searched through your office indices and the Bureau advised of the results. Attendance of undesirables should be’avoided and commercial product repre- sentatives should not be invited. Nothing should be done at these conferences which could be construed as an attempt by the Bureau. to instigate legislation or endorse commercial protective devices.

Your conferences should be held between April 1 and June 1. The agenda of your proposed conferences, listing all speakers to be {nvited, as well as dates and sites, should be submitted to the Bureau UACB at least thirty days prior to the holding of your first conference. A national press release concerning these conferences will be made by the Bureau and the Attorney General shortly before 5 April 1 and suggested press releases for local use will be provided 4 _4n the near future. The Introduction in the April, 1963, Law. _ ; Enforcement Bulletin will concern the bank robbery problem. The booklet "How Banks Can Help the FBI" and the decal for display in anking institutions showing that the FBI investigates bank robbery, Porelary and larceny should be stressed during the conferences and ‘their use encouraged. Advise Bureau by routing slip, Attention: Crime Records Division, by March 1 the number of copies of this booklet, the decal, Introductions to April, 1963, Law Enforcement ~ Bulletin, and cther materials you will require for. your conferences. Bureau will not be able to prepare special-exhibits or:posters. Refer to SAC Letter 61-16 (Cc) for proposed agenda; however, implementation and substitution of topics may be made in accordance with needs and interests in local territories. 9 ~~ Although your conferences should be closed to all but duly eonstituted law enforcement officers and those specifically invited to attend from the banking and related professions, you should clan each so that the last hour will be open to news media representatives and their attendance should be encouraged. A basic need in the drive to reduce crimes against banking institutions is the cooperation of various news media, especially with respect to their handling of news regarding such violations. -Your conferences should be used to inform news media representatives, both executives and the reporters who gather and write crime and court news, of the problem and how they can-help. This time should be arranged. if possible, so it will net conflict with news deadlines. It is suggested that you, a representative of the banking industry, and a spokesman for local law enforcement present a short summary of the various aspects of the conference during this last hour. All statements should, of course, present a united viewpoint and following the statements, the three representatives should make themselves available for questions by the news media. Where possible, it should be stressed to the news media that law enforcement and the banking industry seek the cooperation of the news media in stressing the importance of prominent presentation of news relating to the arrest and sentencing of bank robbers.

arrest and sentencing of a bank robber are not as interesting or newsworthy as the account of the crime itself. However, the prominent display of bank robbery stories without similar display of the accounts of arrest and sentencing of a robber might well lead others to attempt the crime with the mistaken feeling that it is a good way to get rich quickly. The recent general increase in !______crimes_of_this nature certainly demands_the best efforts of_all interested citizens to reduce these serious offenses, Within a week after your last conference, advise Bureau of results of your conferences, giving the number of people in attendance, the number of different agencies represented (broken down according to law enforcement, banks, banking associations, Federal credit unions, insurance companies, surety companies, etc.), as well as dates and number of conferences completed.

Some operating companies have found it economically necessary to incorporate facilities to permit operators to use a device, known as a ''no test number" or a '"'busy verification test," to dial in and listen to the conversation on a busy telephone line.

The Bureau recognizes that the busy override feature is available in only a limited number of isolated areas; however, it is felt that, because of the potential security problem involved in any dial system, you should conduct a‘Survey and advise Bureau of the number of exchanges which have the busy override feature. Your survey should be restricted to lines serving your office, resident agencies, any other official telephone lines and the home telephones of your supervisory and resident agent personnel who may handle _ Official calls at their residences.

March 19, 1963 SECURITY OF TELEPHONE SYSTENS- BUSY LINE VERIFICATION Concurrent with the inauguration of dial telephone systems the telephone operating companies provided a means for an operator and/or test deskman to verify a busy line condition. Most of the operating companies follow the practice of having only one special trunk line per 10,000 subscribers for use in making busy line verification tests and they restrict the use of this line to supervisory personnel. It is not possible, with this special trunk feature, for unauthorized individuals to seize or override a busy telephone line as the special trunk line is restricted to. the perimeter of a single central office or exchange building where — it is accessible to only a limited number of employees. It is not, therefore, available to persons dialing from subscriber and/or unauthorized stations. The rapid extension of automated telephone services and the increased jelechone & of dial switching equipment have encouraged attended “dial exchanges. These unattended exchanges seldom reduire attention and therefore are, for the most part; visited by authorized ’ personnel only when there is a need to repair ‘a reported trouble. Testing of switching equipment and verification of busy line . conditions are performed from a centrally located test center and/or operator~-attended exchange building. All equipment testing between the test center and the unattended exchange and the busy line verification at the unattended exchange is done over high-quality, revenue-producing trunk circuits that must be taken out of service for these purposes, In order to produce maximum revenue with existing facilities some operating companies have devised a secret number system whereby operators and/or test deskmen may call an unattended exchange over regular subscriber trunking paths to make busy line’ verification tests. This procedure releases revenue~producing telephone lines that would otherwise be tied up for test purposes. The number used for this busy line verification is classified "SECRET" by the operating companies and is disseminated to employees only on a "need-to-know" basis. . ee An operator or test deskman making a busy verification test will first dial the exchange, then the secret number or numbers, followed by the station code (last four digits). If the line is busy the employee making. the call will first get a busy signal then @NW 55044 Docld:32989526 Page 1215 ‘
the connector will “override the busy line” and connect the caller to the conversation in progress. The connection will be made to the. called subscriber's line without alerting the subscriber. if there is a conversation in progress the operator can report a “busy line" condition; however, if there is no conversation on the line the operator will usually report that the “line is out of order” and so advise the trouble desk. The attendant at the trouble desk will then dispatch craftsmen to repair the trouble. |_—_________The_busy_verification_number,.while classified "SECRET," may inadvertently be disclosed to an unauthorized person who may use it to monitor telephone conversations. The use of the busy verification, although limited to a relatively few isolated areas, is not restricted to local calls. It is possible for a person, knowledgeable of the busy verification code number, to dial in on a busy telephone line from any part of the United States and Canada - where direct distance dialing facilities are available without being charged for the call. The automatic accounting equipment assigned to the calling telephone will record the called number, calling number, date and time of the call and because of the initial busy- back signal from the called number will record the call as "non~ billable." ; j -wrerme an os “Deysons: knowlcdgcablse of-the busy verification.code _number can, by dialing the exchange code, then the busy verification code Zellowed by the station code, cut in on conversations without alerting the calied subscriber.

If the called telephone line is not busy” at the time a dialed long-distance call is connected to the called number, the automatic machine accounting equipment will treat the call as a regularly dialed long-distance call. On the other hand, if the called line is busy a short busy signal will be sent back to the calling station and then the connector will override the busy _ condition without alerting the called subscriber. In making checks of telephone lines in areas with this feature you should verify, by dialing in on the busy line from another Station, that the Bureau line cannot be subjected to this undesirable override device. Any technical questions which arise from the survey or ‘unusual technical data developed as a result of the survey should be brought to the attention of the Electronics Section, FBI Laboratory. 3 NW 35044 Doold: 329689526 Page 1216

Francisco, Mendoza-Martinez was born in California of Mexican extraction. In 1942 he fled to Méxicd;-a country that~etso considered him a national. He returned in 1946 and in 1947 he was convicted, sentenced and served one year and one day for violation of the Selective Service Act of 1940. Subsequently the U. S. Govern- ment determined his flight to México to avoid military service in time of war effected his expvatriation as of the date in 1944 that - Section 401 (j) was added to the Nationality Act of 1940 (Public Law 431, 78th Congress) enacted as Section 801 (j), Title 8, U. S. ‘Code. AS a result of a deportation hearing he was ordered devorted on September 11, 1953. A series of appeals culminated in the Supreme Court decision of February 18, 1963, which affirmed the ruling of U. S. District Court,. Southern District of California, Section 401 (j) was unconstitutional. Joseph Henry Cort, a medical doctor, born December 27, 1927, at Boston, Massachusetts, registered for Selective Service May 25, 1951, and departed for England in June, 1951. -He applied for.political asylum in England claiming he faced loss of citizenshic and prison if he returned to the United States. Political esylum in England denied, he then accepted asylum from Czechoslovakia ‘where he continues to reside. Cort was indicted by Federal Grand Jury on December 17, 1954, for failure to report for induction in violation of Title 50 (App), 462 and 12 (a). Warrant issued December 18, 1954, is still outstanding. In February, 1960, State Department affirmed a previous administrative decision that Cort expatriated himself under provisions of Section 349 (a) (10), immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 {Public Law 414, 82nd Congress), enacted as Section 1481 (a) (10), Title 8, U. 8. Code. A series of appeals made by Cort culminated in the Supreme Court decision February 18, 1963, which affirmed the ruling of the U. S.. District Court for the District of Columbia that this section is unconstitutional. : The Department is being reauested to aavise what effect the Supreme Court decision will have on the investigation and prosecution of Selective Service violations. Pending receipt of 3/12/63 pi
this advice, in future cases, where it is determined that a citizen has left the United States to avoid compliance with the Selective ‘Service Act of 1948, the above rulings should be brought to the attention of the appropriate United States Attorney for his con- sideration in rencering a prosecutive opinion.

A suggested way of complying, when an informant reliability memorandum does not accompany an LHM, is to include a statement in the main body of the LHM concerning the sources used in the Appendix, such as "All sources not identified in the Appendix have furnished reliable information in the past," provided, of course, this is ; applicable. : Very truly yours, John Edgar Hoover 5 : Director : SAC LETTER NO. 63-14 BT ag im ay *§ pw 55044 Dood: 32989526 Page 12236 '

44 March 27, 1963 WITHHOLDING OF FEDERAL INCOME TAX FROM PAYMENTS TO INFORMANTS AND SOURCES INSTRUCTIONS AND PROCEDURES ” atroduction: ‘ A system has been worked out with the Internal Revenue Service ‘IRS) which will enable informants and sources to pay their Federal income tax on monies received from the Bureau without jeopardizing their security. This will require the withholding of twenty per cent of any payments being made to such individuals for services rendered. Money so withheld will be immediately deposited to a special checking account, to be used for this purpose only, set up in the name of the SAC and ASAC. This account should, if possible, be in a different bank than that in which the regular office Confidential Fund (blue slip) or Nouhle Agent (white slip), accounts, are maintained. Any bank charges incidental to this special checking account are to be paid from the regular office Confidential Fund. Attached to these instructions are 16 Exhibits which are to be used as guides in setting up records for the maintenance and operations of the withholding accounts. Hereafter, any reference to informants refers to both informants and sources. This plan will apply only to those informants or groups of informants authorized by the Bureau. . Accounting Instructions: = ° When a payment is to be made to an informant subject to this . plan, the amount to be withheld for income tax purposes will be s twenty per cent of the total for services. A check will be drawn on i the regular office Confidential Fund to cover the total amount of the 4 authorized payment. This check will be cashed and the amount for taxes ‘ immediately deposited in the special checking account set up for this 4 ‘ purpose. A duplicate deposit slip is to be obtained for use in posting” to the ledger accounts. Payment to the informant will then follow and i: the receipt to be executed by the informant for such payment should show not only the amount received as reimbursement for expenses and the authorized payment for services, but also the amount withheld for
-Federal income tax purposes (Exhibit 1). A Record of Income Tax Transactions (Exhibits 2 and 3) will be maintained on.a calendar-year basis to record the informant's name, symbol number, period covered, and the amounts incidental to such transactions. Beginning with the first payment to an informant involving tax withholding, a new individual ledger sheet (Exhibits 4 and 5) must be set up. The amount of money withheld for income tax purposes should also be listed on the Blue BP Form FD 37, prepared with respect to the payment At the end of each month, entries in the Record of Income Tax Transactions and the individual informant's ledgers will be totaled ‘and reconciled. A monthly report (Exhibit 7) is to be mailed to the Bureau in the same manner as the reports for the regular office Confidential Fund, no later than the 20th of the following month. All. payments involving the tax account must be vouchered prior to the submission of .this ‘report. In the event an informant subject to this plan is transferred to another field division, all records must be forwarded to the new field -division,-.together, with a check for the amount of income tax withheld, Determining Informant's Tax Obligation: At the end of the tax year, the contacting Agent will obtain from the informant. his compieted Federal income tax return based on his regular income, exclusive of money paid to him by the Bureau. The contacting Agent will not question the accuracy of the return except to point out obvious errors. The contacting Agent will furnish the | informant's tax return to a qualified Special Agent Accountant who will prepare a separate return to include Bureau income. The accountant will compute the tax owed by informant on the combined earnings. The difference between the tax computed: by the informant and that computed by the accountant will represent the amount of tax to be paid by. the informant on money recéived from the Bureau. The accountant who prepared the return will sign on the line "Signature of. Preparer Other - Than the Taxpayer." The contacting Agent will have the informant sign the return prepared by the accountant as a certification that the informant has reviewed it and found it correct in every respect. The informant will file his original tax return with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The return prepared. by the accountant, together with a Photostat of the informant's original return, will be "maintained in the informant’ 8 Ssubfile, - A" We55044 Docld: 32989526 Page i231
a If the amount withheld from payments to the informant during ‘the year exceeds the amount of tax for. his Bureau income, the refund due the informant will be withdrawn from the special checking account and paid to him at the time he signs the return prepared by the accountant. A receipt (Exhibit 8) must be obtained from him. If the amount withheld during the year is not sufficient to cover the tax on Bureau income, the difference should be collected from the informant and a statement (Exhibit 9) obtained from him. Entries for any adjustments, -either—refunds—or—additional- payments, must. be made in —.. both the informant's ledger (Exhibits 4 and 5) and the Record of Income Tax Transactions (Exhibit 2) for the calendar year involved. Instructions to Informants: The contacting Agent must fully explain the withholding procedure to any informant concerned. With regard to the: informant' s original tax return, the informant should clearly understand that (1) neither the contacting Agent nor the Special Agent Accountant is in any way certifying to its accuracy, (2) if his original tax return is questioned by IRS, it will be up to him to settle the matter with -IRS,: and -he cannot plead that it. has been _examined.and approved by an Agent of the FBI, since such statement is false and the informant would be uncovered. Transmittal of Tax to Bureau: After all adjustments have been made in the income tax withholding om payments to informants, a report of Federal Income Tax Deductions (Exhibit 10) will be prepared. The net amount of the tax indicated on the Record of Income Tax Transactions (Exhibit 2) will _ be withdrawn from the special checking account by means of a check made payable to the Chief Clerk, FBI. This report and check will be forwarded to the Bureau, together with receipts for refunds that have been made and statements of additional tax collected. The necessary entries’ showing the transmittal of the tax funds to the Bureau should be made in the Record of Income Tax Transactions (Exhibit 2). When received at the Bureau, the tax money will be turned over to a special representative .of IRS with the amounts for each informant identified by a coded number; thus, the informant's connection with the FBI will be protected. However, the coded number can be used for identification purposes in the event it becomes necessary to substantiate ‘the informant's income tax payment. Bie Gola: S29G9576 Page 1232

To illustrate this policy, the following examples are furnished: An employee departed Washington, D. C., on a Saturday at 8 a.m., driving his personally owned automobile en route to New Orleans, Louisiana, on official transfer, and arrived at 7 p.m. the following Monday. Since he traveled 1,103 miles and his daily average was within the 300-mile requirement, no annuai leave would be charged. However, if during the travel period the employee decided to stop over in Knoxville, Tennessee’, for two days and therefore did not report for work in New Orleans until Thursday morning, annual leave would be charged for two days (Tuesday and Wednesday). If the employee performs indirect travel in effecting a transfer, travel time allowable will be determined by applying the 300-mile-a-day average over the direct route distance. Excess time involving workdays will be a charge against annual leave. As an example of this situation, an employee who departed Washington, D. C., on a Saturday for New Orleans, traveled ‘via Miami, Florida, and reported for duty in New Orleans at the beginning of the workday the following Friday. He would only be entitled to travel time through Monday. Therefore, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday would be charged to annual leave. 6/11/63 . SAC LETTER NO. 63-27. -2-

Code, are criminal violations specifically assigned to the FBI, there have been indications recently that some airlines are delaying referrals of these violations to the FBI. This has seriously hampered our investigative effectiveness by preventing the immediate interviews of crew members and passengers prior to dispersal, which is of vital importance, particularly when the violation occurs in the air rr To remedy this situation, within thirty days each office is to personally contact the responsible officer of every air carrier and major terminal in its division to re-emphasize the scope of this statute, Bureau jurisdiction and the necessity of utilizing procedures which will insure all violations are reported directly and immediately to the appropriate field office.

WASHINGTON 25, D.C. nm feplys : File No. (A) VISITS BY CIVIL RIGHTS GROUPS TO FIELD OFFICES AND RESIDENT AGENCIES -- On August 29, 1963, a group of Negroes, identified as the "Freedom Now Movement," headed by Conrad J. Lynn, a New York attorney, called at my office. Previously the Bureau had learned that this group might pe -sibly institute a sit-in’ demonstration. The group, upon arrival at 9:10 a.m., was courteously greeted nd promptly ushered into my office. At that time, Mr. Lynn indicated that the Jegro considered there was a lack of law enforcement on the part of the FBI, articularly with respect to prosecution of state and city police officials in civil rights cases. He, and other members of the group, talked about a number of cases, asserting that the FBI had not measured up to its responsibilities. William Worthy, a newspaperman who has been most critical of American foreign policy and who in 1962 was found guilty of traveling from Cuba to Miami, Florida, with- out a valid passport, was most sarcastic. He stated that he was disturbed that the FBI had not "prosecuted" anyone as a result of the "literally hundreds of bombings of Negro churches and homes throughout the country." Worthy added that it was only fair to ict me:know: there-was a rising tide of criticism against the FBI because of our failure to "prosecute."’ Worthy stated that while he was making no threat, he prophesied that FBI offices would be picketed in the future. He specifically mentioned the incident in which 42 demonstration was held at our Resident Agency at Danville, Virginia. ~ I told the group that I was happy to have the opportunity to answer their questions. I explained the FBI's jurisdiction and that we were an investigative and not a prosecutive agency. I emphasized that our investi- gations were penetrative in both the South and the North and that we constantly - inipress upon our Agents that they must be completely objective in all investi- gations, especially those involving civil rights. I told them that in many instances erroneous statements are made by extremists concerning the FBI's role in the Civil rights field. I furnished facts regarding some specific cases they men- tioned, and have since forwarded a letter to the leader of this group setting forth the facts in each case. As it turned out, the FBI had previously investi- . ated each case the group brought up and the results of our investigations had -been forwarded to the Department of Justice for consideration as to prosecution or further action. | The possibility exists that representatives of the ''Freedom Now Movement" or other groups might call at our Field Offices or Resident Agencies. If they do, they are to be promptly and courteously received. The Special Agent Seeeld44 Doeld: 32989526 Page i266
in Charge or the Senior Resident Agent, if available, is to conduct the interview. The group should be allowed to state the reason for its visit and its complaints heard. The Bureau's jurisdiction in the civil rights field should be thoroughly ——— explained-and questions~in-regard-to-the specific cases mentioned answered. Tf the interviewing Bureau official does not possess the facts on the cases, the group should be told that he will promptly check the matter and advise it of the true facts. Keep in mind the possibility of furnishing the group literature such as my recent article in the August, 1963, issue of ''Yale Political" magazine concerning civil rights. At all times, the group should receive courteous attention and every effort made to assist its members in understanding the FBI's role in the civil rights field. The Bureau should be promptly advised of each such interview. : It is felt-that by such an approach, not only. can ¢he-Bureau *: ~ forestall any "sit-ins": and unfavorable publicity, but do much to enable Negro ee ~~ - leaders -to.understand the trne role. of the.

~ . ' _ (E) COMMUNIST PARTY, USA - NEGRO QUESTION - COMMUNIST INFLUENCE IN RACIAL MATTERS -- The history of the Communist Party, USA (CPUSA), 3s replete with its attempts to exploit, influence and recruit the Negro. The March on Washington, August 28, 1963, was a striking example as Party leaders early put into motion efforts to accrue gains for the CPUSA from the March. The presence at the March of ——around—200. Party members, ranging from several national functionaries headed by CPUSA General Secretary Gus Hall to many rank-and-file———— members, is clear indication of the Party's favorite target (the Negro) today. All indications are that the March was not the “end of the line" and that the Party will step up its efforts to exploit racial unrest and in every possible way claim credit for itself relating to any "gains" achieved by the Negro. A clear-cut indication of the Party's designs is revealed in secret information. obtained from a most sensitive source that the Party plans to hold a highly secretive leadership meeting in'November, 19603, which will deal primarily with the Negro situation. The Party has closely guarcec plans for Gus Hall to undertake a "barnstorming" trip through key ereas Of the country ts mect Party people and-thus better prepare himself for the November meeting. ; ‘In order for the Bureau to cope with the Party's efforts -‘and thus fulfill our responsibilities in the security field, it is necessary that we at once intensify our coverage of communist _ influence on the Negro. Fullest consideration should be given to the use of all possible investigative techniques in the investigation of the CPUSA, those communist fronts through which the Party channels its influence, and the many individual Party members and dupes. There ds also an urgent need for-imaginative and aggressive tactics ‘to be utilized through our Counterintelligence Program for the purpose of attempting to neutralize or disrupt the Party's . activities in the Negro field. Because of the Bureau's responsibility for timely dissemination of pertinent information to the Department and other interested agencies, it is more than ever necessary that. all facets of this matter receive prompt handling. , - wa , .

all who wanted to join in a united effort to build an American vanguard. The functions of this new organization are to consolidate all existing forces around Progressive Labor and organize additional forces; expand and improve political activities; win additional forces to .an outlook of Marxism-Leninism and increase the open advocacy of socialism; develop 2 significant Marxist-Leninist program for the new- party 5--and.. organize a_collective | organization of leaders and members. "Ene Worker," an east coast communist newspaper, issue of January 7, 1962, page 10, column 3, reported the expulsion of Milton Rosen, former labor secretary of the New York State Communist Party, from the Communist Party, USA. . A second and third source advised in February, 1963, that this new Marxist-Leninist Party had not yet been organized on a formal basis but that Progressive Labor groups had been formed “ in“séveral™ localities -in<line with -prepoesals of Milton Rosen. The sources advised as of February, 1963, that the leaders of this group - were referring to it as the Progressive Labor Movement. The “Amsterdam News," a daily New York City newspaper, dated July 27, 1963, page 22, set forth that the "Progressive Labor Party is a new political formation based on Progressive Labor Movement, a Socialist organization with groups in all parts of the United States. The organization publishes a monthly magazine called Progressive Labor." . . The July-August, 1963, issue of Progressive Labor" set forth that it is published monthly by Progressive Labor Company, G.P.O0. Box 808, Brooklyn 1, New York.

(cy BANK ROBBERY MATTERS #- It has been suggested that bait money used by banks should be made up of used Federal Reserve Notes emanating (rom Federal Reserve Districts far removed from the area in which the’ _ bait money is being used. It is felt this procedure would help our bank ‘robbery investigations in that it would be easier for tellers in other banks to check bills received against lists of stolen bait money. Since each Federal Reserve Note contains a large letter on its face denoting the Federal Reserve District from which it came, and those from districts far removed from locality in question would be received in relatively small volumes, the money used in bait packages could be moré easily detécted7— Accordingly, this proposal is brought to your attention for discussion with appropriate officials of banking institutions within your territory during the normal course of business or in connection with field conferences. 12/10/63 : SAC LETTER NO. 63-59 (D) HOODLUM COVERAGE IN THE GREATER MIAMI, FLORIDA, AREA DURING WINTER SEASON 1963-1964 - CRIMINAL INTELLIGENCE PROGRAM -- The Miami Office has been making plans to afford coverage " of the activities of out-oi-town hoodlums who may visitthe Miami area during the coming winter season. These plans include the utilization of informants - and sources in places frequented by racketeers and development of information to establish highly confidential investigative techniques. _ To assist the Miami Office in the prompt establishment of effective coverage on hoodlums and racketeers proceeding to the Miami area, field offices are instructed to furnish to the Miami Office background information, including criminal records, physical descriptions and details of itineraries of such hoodlums. When information is received from highly sensitive sources or informants concerning the travel of any hoodlum, appropriate precautions should be set forth to enable the Miami Office to plan investigative steps which will not jeopardize these sources and informants. Information on travel pians should be forwarded expeditiously by appropriate communication to enabie the Miami Office to have as much notice as possible to provide coverage on the activities of these individuals where facts have been developed indicating the desirability of such coverage. To make coverage more efficient and discreet, the information developed should include identity of associates the traveling _ hoodlums are expected to meet in the Miami area. All surveillances instituted must be discreet and based on information from which it can logically be inferred that there is a definite, useful objective to be achieved. 12/10/63 SAC LETTER NO. 63-59

This recreation atmosphere should provide better opportunities for our informants and sources to obtain ™~ valuable information in accordance with the objectives of the Criminal Intelligence Program. When notifying the Bureau and Miami Office of the intended travel of hoodlums, each field office should include information on the availability of any highly placed informants in a position to travel to Florida to provide coverage of hoodlum activities.

(4) Statements or activities on a subject's part establishing reasonable grounds to believe that his loyalty would lie with a Sirio-Soviet-bloc country in the event of armed conflict between the United States and a Sino-Soviet-bloc country. (5) Training and/or participation in espionage, sabotage, or intelligence activities.

The above factors, including the various factors presently set forth in Section 87D of the Manual of Instructions, are not all-inclusive i but are set forth for the purpose of providing a more detailed guideline and all must be considered in evaluating the facts developed during the course of the investigation. In view of our responsibilities in the internal security field, most careful attention must be afforded this aspect of our operations and all security cases should be closely examined for-the purpose of determining whether sufficient facts are available to depict the subject as a dangerous person whose activities warrant the inclusion of his name in the Security Index. When such a determination is made, appropriate recommendation to include his name in the ‘Security Index should be made promptly.

G. File New RE: MICROPHONE SURVEILLANCES You are reminded that whenever redtesting atithority to install a microphone surveillance of any kind, complete details of the proposed installation must be furnished, specifically pointing out if trespass is involved and whether the microphone will be installed in the telephone or a tele- phone instrument will be utilized in any way. Mere statements that trespass is hot involved or that microphone will be in- stalled in a living room are not sufficient. Bureau desires specific details of each contemplated installation. In addition, when advising that a microphone surveillance has been discontinued state whether you have been able to remove all equipment at the time of discontinuance. --lf is realized that due to lack of maximum security such removal may not be immediately effected and if such is the case keep the Bureau advised every 15 days after discontinuance of efforts being made to. remove all evidence of the microphone surveillance. Bn . Each: Special Agent in Charge must continue to personally supervise all microphone surveillances and the Bureau will closely scrutinize each installation and discontinuance to insure that you are acting in compliance with the foregoing. — .
