Specific suggestions were furnished each office concerning individual records in the months that followed and much - ‘improvement resulted after agencies involved were contacted. The work of the Identification Division has increased tremendously since 1961; fingerprint receipts alone are up 31.46 per cent. Bureau desires that renewed emphasis be placed on the undesirability of multiple fingerprint submissions. Emphasize this at Police Schools, law enforcement conferences and in daily contacts with law enforcement and governmental agencies in your territory. We know that some jurisdictions require fingerprinting incidental to an arrest or incarceration even though prints have been taken by another agency for the same offense. Our program to curtail duplicate fingerprint submissions is not intended to conflict with such requirements. We are merely asking that law enforcement agencies in the same area work together to insure that only one set of fingerprints for each arrest or incarceration is forwarded for search by our Identification Division. . Encourage the initial fingerprinting agency to use the '’send copy to" block on the reverse side of the fingerprint card to indicate interested ome agencies that should receive a copy of our reply thus eliminating fingerprint submissions by those agencies. Another procedure sometimes followed is to have the first agency submitting prints request multiple copies of our reply for dissemination locally when received. ; NW 46170 DoclId:32176004 Page 33

Submit data under caption of "Visit of Cuban President Osvaido Dorticos or Prime Minister Fidel Castro to Canada in July, 1967, Internal Security - Cuba." It is noted that when President Dorticos came to the U.

We can expect that such individuals will accompany Dorticos or Castro on the proposed visit. In addition, the visit and Expo 67 : afford the Cuban Intelligence Service an excellent opportunity to send personnel to Canada where they could direct intelligence activities against the U.
