4 MW 35041 a _(B) ASSIGNMENT OF CLERK-STENOGRAPHERS TO RESI Lor AGENCIES -- A recent survey was conducted of eleven field offices having stenographers assigned to Resident Agencies (RAs) for more than three months to obtain information regarding the advantages and disadvantages ___ resulting from such assignments. The offices were unanimous in their endorsement of this program and no problems were reported. In order to afford appropriate security, the RAs are kept locked when no Agents are present, The survey disclosed that since the assignment of stenographers, the delinquency in the RAs has decreased substantially and Agents now make less frequent trips to Headquarters city, thereby gaving investigative time and fuel. Several offices reported that stenographic production in the RAs is higher than in Headquarters city and that morale is high, as the stenographers feel that they are closer to the field activities and have a greater part in the operation of the office. In citing benefits resulting from these assignments, one office noted that experienced personnel with ability to work with very limited ‘ sipervVision are nevessary for such assignments to be of benefit tc the Bureau. Other offices feel that the assignment of stenographers to RAs -has been extremely valuable to the overall effectiveness of the division and recommend extension of the program wherever possible. One office felt that this has been the single most. significant step in recent years to ‘enhance the professional image of the FBI in the RA territory and to increase the efficiency and productivity of the RA. There are 489 RAs and the policy of only assigning stenographers to RAs with eight Agents or more has been generally followed. There are 87 RAs with eight or more Agents assigned and 57 stenographers have now _been assigned to 47 RAs. In view of the very favorable comments received from offices having stenographers assigned to RAs, it is suggested that you consider the feasibility of assigning a stenographer at this time to any RAs with eight or more Agents. It is felt that an RA of this size will provide a sufficient amount of work to keep a » stenographer fully , occupied at all times. 4/30/74. MEMORANDUM 22-74 -2- Boeld: 32989525 Page 375
The foregoing is being furnished for your future guidance and ‘ assistance. Copies of master description for Clerk-Stenographers GS-5. + to be used for stenographic employees assigned to RAs were furnished to : you by Memorandum 1-74 To All Special Agents in Charge dated 1 /8/74. In submitting recommendations for such assignments, you should include specific-and-complete justification for the position and a statement -- . concerning the procedures for guarantying the security of the RA when no Agents are present. Such assignments will not increase your overall fo, clerical complement as the stenographers will be handling stenographic | work that would otherwise be assigned to Headquarters personnel. 4/30/74 MEMORANDUM 22-74 (C) MODIFICATION OF FUGITIVE'S NCIC RECORD -- During recent inspections of FBI Field Offices, several instances were noted wherein an office having a fugitive's record on file had overlooked in a communi- cation new descriptive data regarding the fugitive. Consequently, the fugitive's NCIC reenrd had not.been. modified to add the new data. New identifying data concerning a fugitive is extremely important, and the subject's NCIC record should be modified to include all new descriptive information as soon as possible. Conversely, data .— which is no longer valid should be deleted from NCIC as soon as possible. To prevent oversights, upon developing any data which should ‘be added to or changed in a fugitive's NCIC record, this data should be set forth as a specific lead to modify the NCIC record in a communi- ‘cation to the office having the recordon file. Manual changes will be forwarded under separate cover. 4/30/74 ' MEMORANDUM 22-74 -3- . a ‘ my Kop 2 et oe BL, -- tee : | MW 55041 Docid:32989525 Page 376
(D) RETIREMENT LIBERALIZATION -- The Subcommittee on Compensation and Employment Benefits of the Senate Post Office and Civil Service Committee conducted hearings on April 24, 1974 concerning H. R. 9281 and S, 3263, bills to _ liberalize retirement benefits for Federal law enforcement officers and firefighters. H. R. 9281 is the bill sponsored by Congressman Frank-- i Brasco of New York which passed the House of Representatives on ; September 20, 1973. This has been the subject of prior SAC Memoranda which outlined the basic provisions of the bill. S. 3263 is a relatively new bill introduced by Senator Charles Percy of IWinois. It is identical to H. R, 9281 except that it would provide for the annuity computation factor of 2 1/2 percent to apply for all years of service and would count premium overtime pay for retirement purposes retroactive to January 1970. ——$— ee Thirteen witnesses appeared at the hearings, twelve of whom supported the legislation, Senator Percy and Congressman Brasco both appeared as wiinesses in favor of the legislation. Thomas A. Tinsley, Director, Bureau of Retirement, Insurance, and Occupational Health, Civil Service Commission (CSC), presented the only adverse testimony. His statement, however, disclosed a marked change in CSC's position regarding this legislation up to the time of the hearings. CSC previously had expressed opposition to preferential retirement benefits on the grounds that it felt employees should not be rewarded through retirement provisions for the particular type of work in which they were engaged. Tinsley testified that the more liberal annuity computation formula presently in existence ‘was not provided as a reward . for a particular kind of employment, but - ~ - - to make earlier retirement, 7 with resultant shorter service, economically feasible. ** Tinsley also announced CSC was modifying its position with respect to the annuity formula. CSC previously had proposed placing law enforcers and fire- fighters under the same formula applicable to all Government employees— 1 1/2 percent for five years, 1 3/4 percent for five years and 2 percent for all years thereafter—-but guaranteeing a minimum annuity of 50 percent after 20 years of service and after reaching age 50. Tinsley in his state- ment reported CSC suggested the present formula of 2 percent be retained along with the guarantee for a minimum 50 percent annuity after 20 years® service and age 50. He admitted in his testimony this would be beneficial only to employees who retire after serving from 20 to 24 years. 4/30/74 MEMORANDUM 22-74 a4 ee i 2 Page 377
Among other witnesses who were very effective in Supporting this legislation were former Special Agent in Charge Joseph Gamble who is now president of Wells Fargo; Edward J. Kiernan, president, International Conference of Police Associations, Washington, D. C.; Eugene Rossides, former Assistant Secretary of Treasury; and Ordway P. Burden of William A. M. Burden and Company, New York City, who testified as a private citizen interested in the law enforcement profession. Senator Quentin Burdick, North Dakota, chaired the hearings. In his opening remarks he announced that Senators John McClellan of Arkansas, Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania, Henry Jackson of Washington, Lloyd Bentsen of Texas, Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, and Roman Hruska of Nebraska had filed statements with the Subcommittee in support of the legislation. In addition, Senators Herman Talmadge of Georgia and James Eastland of Mississippi have stated they are filing statements with the Subcommittee in support of the legislation. Senator Robert Dole of Kansas, a member of the Post Office and Civil Service Committee, appeared briefly at the hearings and in an impromptu statement indicated his-support of this legislation. Chairman Burdick has given no indication as to when he will hold a Subcommittee meeting to consider this legislation; however, it is anticipated that within the next few weeks this legislation will be brought- before the full Senate Post Office and Civil Service Committee for action. You will be kept advised of pertinent developments. 4/30/74 MEMORANDUM 22-74 75 - TiBp0at  Boold: 32809525 Page S75: - .& . ' Lo i eee

A constitution for the association was adopted and officers elected. The purposes and objectives of the association ___are to foster an exchange of ideas and information within the field of explosives, stimulate research and the development of new techniques: within the field, maintain a high level of professional competence among technicians and investigators, encourage the use of improved testing procedures and methods of presentation of conclusions, and establish a’ code of ethics for all members. Membership dues are not to be less than $15 or more than . $35 per year for all members of the association. There appears to be widespread interest in the association by law enforcement officers en- gaged in responsibilities for handling bombing cases. The association will be divided geographically into six regions in the United States and - one region for foreign participants, with each region establishing as many chapters as needed. Police instructors qualified to lecture in bombing matters are authorized to join the association at their own expense. Submit to the Bureau, attention Training Division, the identities of Agents who join this association, and we desire to be kept informed concerning its activities in each region. — (Security page attached) . 4/30/74 : MEMORANDUM 22-74 - 6 -.

This incident reemphasizes the need for all Special Agents handling informants. ___to stress upon the informants the necessity of maintaining the confidential nature of their relationship with the FBI. Each Special Agent in Charge is to impress upon Special Agents dealing with individuals, whether they are Bureau-approved or those voluntarily contacting your office, to proceed cautiously and take all necessary steps to be reasonably sure that the individuals are not plants, are stable, and are of such a character that they would be unlikely to expose their relationship. In particular, you should impress upon your Agents that each individual under development is a potential _ plant. In this regard although it may not be possible to ascertain whether an informant is completely reliable and not a plant, a reasonable amount of time should be allowed to elapse before an informant is guided, directed, of suggested io engage in activities on our behalf in order that such a determination can be made. The handling of informants is a very sensitive operation and must be conducted on a careful and professional basis at all times. ~~ Again, you are reminded that individuals who have not been approved as informants should not be directed or guided in the event they volunteer . to provide information without prior Bureau approval.

OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR PERSONAL ATTENTION MEMORANDUM 35-74 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20535 July 16, 1974 MEMORANDUM TO ALL SPECIAL AGENTS IN CHARGE: [SPR AGENT-WEEKEND-DUTY-ASSIGNMENTS -- -Field— offices are required to have an Agent on duty on Saturday during normal business hours, and some, depending on activity, have more than one. A few offices, again depending on activity, have Agents’ — on duty on Sunday. Henceforth, when an Agent comes up for such duty assignment, the workweek is to be administratively changed, to allow the individual to have another day off to replace the normal day off of either Saturday or Sunday, as the case may be. In the case of the Saturday duty assignment, the workweek of the Agent, for that particular week, is to be Tuesday through Saturday with normal days off in that week of Sunday and Monday. In the case of Sunday duty Agents, the workweek for that particular week will be Sunday through Thursday, with normal. days off of Friday and Saturdav.. Should any of these official hours fall between 6:00 p. m. and 6:00 a.m. the individual will be entitled to related night differential pay, and if on Sunday to not over eight hours of Sunday differential — pay. No new work shifts involving such additional premium pay are to be established without prior Bureau approval. This should be placed in effect promptly. Duty schedules ’ should be established well in advance, in order that individuals concerned may be aware of their responsibilities, and make any necessary adjust- ments. Such weekend duty assignments are to be rotated among the - Agent staff of the office. 1-16-74 MEMORANDUM 35-14 | 1 “* 1 tee a netelaetees ab Rieuene cannon tbe ns fae ee NW 55041 Doeld: 32969525 Page 353
(B) DISTRESS SIGNAL FOR AGENTS IN TROUBLE - FM adoro STATION NETWORK -- Recently a state highway patrolmah was taken hostage and driven in his own vehicle for approximately six miles, and then murdered. During this period there were several transmissions by radio with his headquarters and a prearranged —signal could have alerted the dispaicher-to-his situation. Based on this incident a suggestion was made and adopted that consideration be given to devising a uniform system wherein a signal or code in conjunction with the Bureau's FM radio network be used by an Ageni held as a hostage when possible to discreetly alert his office to his captive situation. A number of proposals were considered and studied but each had numerous disadvantages. A survey with selected field offices regarding the proposed systems disclosed a wide divergence of opinion. Because of these factors and the significant variations in radio procedures among our 59 field offices, uniformity of any system adopted is not believed practical for all offices. However, you should discuss with all investigative personnel the potential danger of a hostage situation in a Bureau vehicle. Itis also suggested that each SAC with his staff consider possible radio code or signal procedure which could best be applied in his particular office in such an emergency. Ifa _— procedure is devised, it should be periodically reviewed to insure that all personnel including new employees are fully aware of the code or signal. I would appreciate the benefit of any developments ‘you feel have application outside vour division.

Because of changing circumstances, and specifically the below-cited development, this policy is hereby revised. A national symposium on the American penal system as a revolutionary target was held at the FBI Academy, Quantico, Virginia, June 19-21, 1974. Individuals representing the penal system from around the United States were in attendance. Agenda included discussion of the targeting of the penal system by revolutionaries of the Old Left/New Left representing organiza- tions such as the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression (Communist Party, USA, front), Weatherman and — Vietnam Veterans Against the War. During this symposium, numerous attendees expressed the desire that FBI representatives -having knowledge of revolutionary communist and New Left matters appear at their conferences and training programs as speakers. To render assistance in this area, a thorough and current knowledge of the background and developments in the revolutionary communist and New Left fields is vital to the presentation of effective briefings to law enforcement and correctional personnel. You are | accordingly authorized to assign your full-time security Supervisor(s) of these types of investigations to present such briefings (even though he may not be an approved police instructor) before duly constituted police officers and sworn personnel of penal institutions. Submita Form FD-132 for each briefing commitment, and if a full-time security Supervisor, who is not a qualified police instructor, is given the assignment, note his qualifications on the Form FD-132.

As an enclosure to that letter there was set forth a list of personally owned side arms authorized for official use. In addition to those weapons set out, you are authorized to add to that-list-the Smith-and Wesson Model -10-6. Bureau permission for Special Agents to carry alloy-framed side arms for official use is rescinded due to the fact that pressure generated by the new service round would excessively stress frames and cylinders of these weapons and inasmuch as certain repairs on alloy- , framed guns cannot be performed by our gunsmiths without voiding factory warranties. This decision is supported by recommendations of the Sport- ing Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers Institute and the manufacturer of our new service round. Through the principal firearms man in your office, you should insure that all Agent personnel currently authorized to carry alloy-framed side arms execute form FD-431, deleting tucse weapons - from their property records. These FD-431s should be forwarded to the Bureau, Attention: Training Division, within 30 days. . (Security letter attached) : 8-13-74 | MEMORANDUM 39-74 | -3- Doclda: 32989525 Page 389

At the recent "Major City Chiefs of Police" meeting in Chicago, it was suggested that the FBI might serve as a central repository and disseminate information about research which is being done by police agencies throughout the United States. To provide such service, I have instructed that the FBI Academy LRC serve as a clearinghouse of infor- mation for law enforcement by disseminating studies: made by police . departments throughout the country. All Special Agents, including ‘Resident Agents and police instructors, whenever and wherever pos- sible, should inform law enforcement personnel, especially law enforce- ment executives and command personnel, of the services available ; through the LRC. Any inquiries or requests for information should be i made directly to the FBI Academy, Quantico, Virginia 22135, Attention:. ‘ LRC. At the same time, Agents should encourage those contacted to . provide input to this program by calling to the attention of the LRC any research or experiments conducted with respect to the law enforcement function. We must secure the needed input by police agencies so the best and most efficient service can be provided to them in response to their requests. _ This program will allow Agent personnel more opportunity for contact with the local police. It will provide a service to the police and will afford an opportunity for the Agent to determine what, if any, research has been done or is being done by the local police so this . information can be furnished to the LRC. y 10-15-74 ; MEMORANDUM 49-74 ‘aw 55041 Doold: 32999525 Page 393 a a

ie N q : t ‘BW 55041 Doold: 32999525 Page 396 (D) SECURITY INVESTIGATIONS OF INDIVIDUALS - EXTREMIST INVESTIGATIONS OF INDIVIDUALS -- The recent proliferation in candidacies for public office on the part of members of subversive and extremist organizations currently being investigated by this Bureau under statutory basis has created a serious problem. Continued in- vestigation of these individuals during the time of their candidacy could +_____lead_to_unwarranted i charges that this Bureau is intimidating political | candidates and interfering with lawful political processes. On the other hand, automatic suspension of investigation of an individual once his candidacy for public office becomes known could result in termination of an investigation where substantive violations exist. Such action would result in the establishment of the unwise precedent of granting investigative immunity to subversive and extremist candidates for public office. In ‘the past, instances such as the foregoing were relatively rare and were handled on an individual case basis. Recent political activities, however, on the part of organizations such as the National Caucus of Labor Commiitees; Communist Party, USA; and Black Panther Party (which run candidates for pubiic office at various levels of political life), coupled with the likelihood of civil suits being filed against this Bureau by such individuals under investigation, dictate the establishment of a uniform manner of handling such matters. Upon learning of the candidacy for public office of a member of a subversive or extremist organization, the office of origin should - promptly furnish FBIHQ with a communication suitable for dissemination setting forth sufficient identifying data and a brief summary of the individual's subversive or extremist activities, together with the details of the individual's candidacy for public office. In the absence of evidence of a violation of a specific Federal statute, no investigation should be conducted until subject's candidacy for public office is resolved. Infor- mation received during the period of the individual's candidacy indicating a specific violation of Federal law(s) should be furnished FBIHQ by means consistent with the exigencies of the situation along with recommendations as to additional action warranted. Other unsolicited subversive infor--. mation received from sources and informants or obiained incidental to other investigations, should be channeled to the individual's file and, when appropriate, furnished to FBIHQ in disseminative form with recom- mendations as to additional action warranted. 10-15-74 MEMORANDUM 49-74 . ~-4-— oo
Results of candidacy in every instance should be furnished to FBIHQ under individual caption. Should the candidate have been defeated, necessary communication should contain recommendations as to additional action warranted. Should the candidate have been successful, necessary communication should contain statement that, in the absence of infor - imation indicating a. specific-_violation.of a Federal statute, no additional____.._.. investigation will be conducted. At such time as the individual ceases to serve in public office, the office of origin should submit such infor- mation to FBIHQ, accompanied by recommendations as to additional action warranted. Should information be received indicating a violation of a specific Federal statute while the individual is in office, receiving office should submit pertinent information to FBIHQ by means consistent with the exigencies of the situation along with recommendations as to additional action deemed warranted. s Manual changes follow.

Files and records to be destroyed when 10 years old. 1 ~- Investigative files in all classifications, except security classifications, in offices of origin provided the files are of no continuing value for evidence, intelligence, historical or other reference purposes. In security classifications the files may be destroyed only if all the pertinent information therein has been made a matter of record at the Bureau. 2 - Investigative files in auxiliary offices in cases in which Bureau is office of origin. If there is any doubt concerning the destruction of the above material by an auxiliary office, it should consult the office of origin. If there is any doubt about the destruction of a file in an office of origin, that office should consult the Bureau. With respect to the mechanics of such file destruction in a field office, the following procedure should be followed: A. Since there will be only two destruction rules, five years and 10 years, which apply to investigative files under the new regula- tions, the case Agent will either note the appropriate destruction rule on the file copy of the communication closing the case or © referring it on completion (RUC) or else note that it should be retained plus appropriate justification for such retention. The case Agent is logically in the best position to determine the potential value of the case; however, his recommendation would be subject to approval by the supervisor when the communication is initialed for closing or RUC. The file would not be returned 11-5-74 MEMORANDUM 52-74 ke ‘HW 35041 DoolId: 32989525 Page 400
NNW 55041 to the supervisor unless additional material were received between the time the case was closed or RUC and the actual date for destruction. B. The master assignment card should be used as a tickler for the final destruction of-an investigative file. Heretofore, the Chief _ Clerk's Office (CCO) posted the date_of the file copy of the closing. or RUC communication to the reverse side of the master assign- ment card and the card was retained for one year and then destroyed. Under the new system so that these master assign- ment cards can be used as ticklers, the CCO, in addition to posting the date of the closing or RUC communication in each case, will note on the front of the master assignment card the destruction date which was recommended by the case Agent and approved by the supervisor on the file copy of the communi- cation. Instead of destroying the card in one year, it should be retained as a tickler for destruction according to the date shown on its front side. In the event the file is reopened during the period intervening between being closed or RUC and its actual destruction, the new master assignment card would. supersede the oid tickler. C. Index cards relating to the case should be retained for 20 years and then destroyed as encountered. D. Original FD-302s, signed statements and other items of evidence will be retained for 20 years or until of no further value if that be longer than 20 years. Index cards relating to this material would also be retained for a like period. E. Two lists containing the numbers of the files destroyed should be maintained. One list will be filed in front of each respective classification in the closed files section; the other list will be maintained in an administrative file created specifically for this . purpose. : : Manual changes concerning the foregoing procedures are being made and will be forthcoming in the near future. i 11-5-74 MEMORANDUM 52-74 -3- Boeld: 32989525 Page 401

Accordingly, I have approved the following uniform course of legal instruction that must be provided to all investigative personnel: (Amending instructions as sét forth ii SAC Letters 67-43-(B); 68=7 (A);~and 69-20 (B). ) Law of Arrest 1 hour Probable Cause 1 hour Investigative Detention 1 hour Search of Persons 1 hour Search of Premises 1 hour Affidavits/Complaints 1 hour Search of Motor Vehicles 1 hour Interrogation 1 hour Eyewitness Identification 1 hour Electronic inierception 1 hour Civil Liability ’ 1 hour Informants 1 hour Entrapment , 1 hour Juveniles 1 hour Federal Rules of Criminal 1 hour — Procedure Law of Evidence 1 hour (Traditional Rules such as hearsay, privileges, best evidence) This sixteen-hour uniform course of field legal instruction is a minimum legal training requirement for all investigative personnel. The one-hour lecture time provided for each of the above topics is a ‘minimum period. The lectures on these topics should not be combined but must be thorough and given as separate subjects. Obviously, additional legal instruction on the above subjects or other topics will be afforded as the need arises. , It must be emphasized that the sixteen-hour legal instruction program outlined above is a minimum uniform course. Topics included ~ 11-5-74 - - MEMORANDUM 52-74 7 4-
in the uniform course are of a general nature that all FBI investigative personnel must know whatever their specialized assignments may be. It must be augmented to meet the particular legal training needs of individual squads or situations arising within a field office. The most desirable scheduling of instruction would be for each Agent to attend eight two-hour sessions scheduled over the fiscal year. This scheduling is not mandatory and in particular, the best method of providing this uniform course of instruction to resident agency personnel is most practicably left to the discretion of the field offices. In order to provide the legal instructors with resource material the following bibliography of legal materials is recommended: McCormick on Evidence - Second Edition (Hornbook Series) (1972) West Publishing Company, St. Paul, Minnesota 55102.

(F) REVISION OF SECTION 107 - MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS (MOI) The Manual of Instructions has been revised, after extensive study at FBIHQ, and in consultation with the Chicago, New York, San Francisco, and Washington Field Offices, to include in one subsection of Section 107, viz., PartII, all instructions dealing with the development and handling of foreign counterintelligence (FCI) informants (to be called assets). The “new subsection extracts all instructions dealing with such assets from current Section 107 and from several letters and airtels to all offices, e.g., “double agent letters." The purposes of the revision are to encourage asset development by redefining them according to roles specifically applicable to FCI investi- gations, by providing for more local authority, and by incorporating all instructions pertaining to FCI assets in one place; to streamline administrative handling; and to bring some of our terminology in line with that of the rest of the U. S. intelligence community. The revision deals with assets who are primarily engaged in our investigations of the activities ef foreign intellicence services or governments It does not deal with domestic subversive or extremist informants or inform- — ants used against elements who may have some connection with a foreign political movement, but no connection with a foreign intelligence service or government. These informants will continue to be handled under Part I of — Section 107, MOI. The major changes which are effected by this revision are as follows: (1) Foreign counterintelligene informants will be called assets, either operational assets (OA) or informative assets (IA). (2) There is no "potential asset" category. By definition, an IA is one in a position, i.e., currently in a position to furnish information of value; and an OA is ‘ already operational or has immediate potential to be developed for a specific use. (The only time any asset would be "potential" and not "actual" is in the case of an OA during his background investigation, a minimal period of time which does not justify another formal administrative category. ) ; 11-5-74 MEMORANDUM 52-74 ~ © 2 se Be

The asset's symbol-number suffix will specifically identify whether he is an informative asset or an operational asset, e.g., NY 1001-OA (or IA). This will allow for more ready evaluation of the information provided by an asset. The caction of FCI asset cases will he his.symbol number, ... plus IS and the country concerning which the asset is primarily reporting, e.g., NY-1001-OA, IS - R. IAs, except for certain restrictions, will be investigated,-— approved, and operated on SAC authority. All written interoffice communication regarding background investigation of FCI assets is to be conducted by coded "Nitel" only. The sensitiveness of FCI cases, and the security of the asset voluminous initial interview. Periodie evaluations of OAs and IAs paid on FBIHQ authority are to be submitted by coded "Nitel" only. This measure is essential for the asset's security since the evaluation summarizes information provided by him and tends to identify him. ‘MEMORANDUM 52-74 _ eg NW 35041 Doold:i 32989525 Page 407
(9) Periodic evaluations of unpaid IAs or IAs paid on SAC authority are made to the SAC. Since these assets do not require FBIH@ attention in matters of handling and payment, there is no need for FBIHG attention_in evaluation. (10) The DESECO Program is terminated. DESECO has resulted primarily in inflated PSI statistics and a large backlog of sources who are seldom activated. The most productive method of targeting assets against foreign intelligence officers (IO) is to analyze the personal situation of a specific IO and the circumstances of his particular operations, and then develop a source to specifically fit his personal situation and one or more of his operations. Experience indicates that more often an individual whom we can initially recruit at the time he is needed fits the situation better tian a DESECO. The abolition of the DESECO Program will obviously result in the numerical decline of security informants generally, and FCI assets particularly; this is to be expected, and in and of itself will not reflect adversely on any office. Now the emphasis on source development in the FCI field is to be on the development of sources who can be operationally targeted against a foreign intelligence service immediately. _ As with the rest of the MOI, this instruction is to be inter- preted using the rule of reason. The term "immediate" use of an OA must be interpreted to include a period of time for background investigation,, a period of time for the best or suitable targeting conditions to occur, e.g., cocktail party, visit to establishment, etc., and perhaps a period of time for pretargeting development. What the instruction a is intended to preclude is the creation of a large number of yo assets (former DESECO and other PSIs) who are not producing : information of value or who do not hold immediate promise of ; producing information of value in projected specific circum- stances. This does not preclude an office or squad from meena oabyNahatens 9 be totemeiinnad ae 0S Perea are we ered 11-5-74 MEMORANDUM 52-74 += 10 =" ot see ce ee ieee ei we ene eee . ; NW 55041 Docld: S2589525 Page 406

You are reminded of this instruction since FBIHQ has noted numerous teletypes, prepared for dissemination, that have contained full-length characterizations of organizations. This unneces- sarily adds. to stenographic and/or typing time to prepare these communi- cations, Agent and supervisory review time, and processiiy time at FBIHQ to disseminate to interested Government officials and agencies. In utilizing succinct characterizations of subversive organizations and publications in disseminative teletypes, insure same is an essential extraction from FBIHQ approved characterizations or is substantiated by back-up material in your files. Your attention is also directed to the fact that instructions relating to characterizations in the MRR, Part I, Section 4, and FBI Handbook for Special Agents, Part I, item 49.B., have been revised by ' deleting any reference to the Guide to Subversive Organizations and Publications issued by the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HCUA), revised and published on December 1, 1961. This was done since information contained in the Guide is dated and is of little value in depict- ing the present nature and activities of an organization or a publication. Organizations and publications that were previously characterized on the basis of material in the HCUA Guide should now be characterized by use of other information demonstrating current or more recent activities and/or affiliations. .

Iam aware the Manual of Instructions, IV-102-23, requires that each SAC specifically designate an Agent, or Agents, to be responsible tor developing and maintaining liaison with other Federal agencies, and that these instructions are being followed. I also am aware that many, if not most, SACs have other arrangements and opportunities for meeting periodically with the heads of other Federal agencies in Headquarters Cities, such as during regularly scheduled conferences, meetings of the Federal Executive Board or Association, interdepartmental intelligence conferences, metropolitan police conference or asscciation meetings, et cetera. I believe that periodic meetings with the heads of other Federal agencies in Headquarters Cities, collectively, can do much to engender and maintain a better understanding and working relationship between the Bureau and those agencies and will result in advancing the best interests of all. If no such opportunity currently exists in your headquarters city, you should explore the feasibility of organizing such a program, possibly with sponsorship of each meeting being changed on a rotating basis. Representation from the local office of the United States Attorney should be invited. - Clarence M: Kelley Director

In the future, investigative personnel assigned to foreign offices will be returned to domestic assignment after a specified period. This re- quirement is based upon the realization that such personnel must not lose contact and familiarity with the ever-changing priorities, problems, and objectives of the Bureau as well as sociological and related changes in the United States. The program is meant to be a general guide and it is understood that outstanding and unique periormance of an individuai © or’circumstances peculiar to a particular Legat office, or best interest of the Bureau will be taken into consideration and, on occasions, exceptions to certain provisions will be necessary. I. QUALIFICATIONS Legat: 1. A well-rounded, experienced investigator; 2. Atleast two years of experience at FBIHQ or previous experience as an Assistant Legat; 3. Fluent in one or more languages used in our foreign offices.

Assistant Legat: 1; Same as Number 1 above;- 2. FBIHQ or field experience at the supervisory or relief: supervisory level, or other qualifying 11/19/74 experience; MEMORANDUM 55-74 DOJ/ FBI 1974-11 Boeld: 32989525 Page 4i1
3. Same language requirements as set forth above under ''Legat." I. SELECTION egat. 1. The Office of Preference List will be used as a guide in determining those interested in foreign assignment; 2. Selection will not be on the basis of seniority, but on the basis of those best qualified with respect to experience, maturity, personality and ability to conduct high level liaison. Assistant Legat: 1, Same as Number 1 above; 2. Those selected for consideration will receive a two-week temporary aSsignment ai FBInW where they will be given on-the-job training by the Liaison Section of the Intelligence Division and will be evaluated as to their capability of performing as an Assistant Legat. Such personnel will thereafter return to the field and become part of a reservoir of employees who will be given consideration for assignment overseas when such positions become open. TH. TRAINING Legat and Assistant Legat: 1. After selection for foreign assignment, such personnel will undergo four weeks of training at the Bureau where they will receive orientation in the areas of communications, training, identi- fication matters, computers, Laboratory operations and current investigative problems. wae npn a spnaumasbovvaner bers Worn fa eR he RO ASS EE RAE Rm _— 11/19/74 | (2 | sf og.-MEMORANDUM 55-74 a. - omy ~ Hy DooTd: 32989525 Page 412 .

Research developed that such tires are not recommended by car manufacturers or tire manufacturers on pursuit-type vehicles. The air pressure for such tires must never be lower than 32 pounds per square inch cold. Running aan - such tires at lewer air pressure creates verv hich temperatures which cause the steel wires to get very hot, resulting in separation of the plies. While the tire may not then blow out, once the plies separate the tire is damaged to the point where the structure of the tire is weakened and eventually a blowout or complete tread separation occurs; Those offices known to have vehicles assigned equipped with - ‘ steel-belted radial tires have been instructed by direct communication to replace such tires with radial pursuit tires of polyester cord con- struction. Each Special Agent in Charge is to insure that any such tires on any Bureau vehicle assigned are replaced immediately and that such tires are not utilized in the future. : 5 11/19/74 MEMORANDUM 55- 4 -4- L MW 55041 .

s a 2 ie (C) SPECIAL WEAPONS AND TACTICS (SWAT) -- The effectiveness of SWAT teams as a vital aid to the FBI-~-and to all law enforcement-- is a well-established fact. Through the proper utilization of these highly trained units, many violent and potentially violent situations have been satisfactorily resolved. Most importantly, the use of SWAT officers and for the American public. Despite the recorded successes of these operations, there still exists some misunderstanding among elements of the news media and the general public concerning SWAT teams. The role of these units has been considerably distorted by some critics. As you are no doubt aware, the SWAT concept equips the FBI with a flexible and effective response to unconventional law enforcement confrontations arising from our jurisdictional responsibilities. This is not to suggest that the use of SWAT units must be reserved exclusively for major case operations, nor is this to suggest that normal arrests are to be-conductec by SWAT-teams.instead.of case agents. Rather, it is intended that the SWAT concept should*be employed in any situation involving, what is in the judgment of the SAC, a higher-than-normal danger risk. AS a general practice, the participation of SWAT teams in ~~ an FBI operation should not be afforded undue publicity. Information _ regarding the use of SWAT teams should not be furnished gratuitously to the news media. However, all inquiries received from the public and the news media should be promptly and accurately answered. To assist with responding to these inquiries, the following is provided: Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) is a concept of operation which is based on the premise that a small team of highly motivated and well-conditioned individuals, especially armed, equipped, and trained to function as a tactical unit in a variety of situations, can be more effectively and safely employed in an enforcement confrontation than a large group of persons not so trained and equipped. The basic FBI SWAT team is a five-man unit. — It is believed that confronting a criminal or terrorist element - with a clearly superior.force, such as a SWAT unit, will serve to diminish any willful inclination to violent resistance, thus serving to accomplish the objectives of SWAT. (11/19/74 . MEMORANDUM 55-74 er éams has resulted in providing additional protection for law enforcement .

Consistent with the provisions of the EEO regulations, Assistant Special Agents in Charge and Number One Men to Assistant Directors were designated. to be Equal Employment Opportunity Counselors for their respective divisions. In order to comply with Civil Service Commission guidelines further defining the sclcction criteria for EEO Counselors, Snecial Agents in Charge and Assistant Directors are instructed to designate one employee to act as EEO Counselor in addition to the Assistant Special Agent in Charge or Number One Man to the Assistant Director. While the sensitive nature of the duties involved requires the assign- ~— ment of a very responsible individual, employees selected to perform this function should not be members of the office or division supervisory _ staff. The role of the counselor continues to be very significant in» _ processing complaints of discrimination and Special Agents in Charge and Assistant Directors should review the counselor's responsibilities as set forth in Chapter 3 of Departmental Order 1713-4 and the Manual of Rules and Regulations, Part I, Section 10 G, 3 and 4, prior to selecting an employee to perform this function. The identities of those | | selected should be submitted to FBIHQ for approval on a UACB basis by November 25, 1974. Although current EEO Counselors have been exposed to the workings of the discrimination complaint process, provisions will be made for formal training of all counselors at a later date. Meanwhile, employees so designated should also be instructed to familiarize themselves with the role of the counselor in the complaint processing regulations. Once the selection is approved,the employee's identity must be included along with that of the ASAC or Number One Man, on the poster captioned "Federal | Policy Is Equal Opportunity" located on key bulletin boards. 11/19/74 - MEMORANDUM 55-74 oe Ge - i NW:55041 Docld:32989525 Page 416

(F) CLASSIFICATION AND DECLASSIFICATION OF NATIONAL SECURITY INFORMATION - EXECUTIVE ORDER 11652 -- Attention is directed to Revision 269 of the Manual of Rules and Regulations dated October 29, 1974, Part II, Section 4, which includes in pages 53 - 57B, a completely revamped and expanded set of | instructions relative to t the he classification and declassification of national | security data, This portion of the Manual now represents a comprehen- sive statement of existing Bureau policies and procedures in this area, including the requirements relative to the classification of intra-Bureau material which was initiated on May 1, 1974. ee met ete During recent months FBIHQ has noted several undesirable trends in the implementation of classification rules by the field, including a number of procedural errors on the part of various offices. Chief among these have been the following: 1. A tendency to overclassify material or to assign a higher Classification level than nccessary. Information should not he classified to protect sources unless it is worded in such a manner that disclosure would tend to jeopardize the particular source involved. If it could have originated with a variety of sources, classification should ordinarily not be used. Informant symbol numbers as such do not warrant classification. The "Confidential" category should suffice for the vast majority of FBI _data regarding classification. The "Secret" level is to be applied on a . Selective basis and only where serious damage to national security could result such as the disruption of foreign relations significantly affecting _ national security or the disclosure of important intelligence operations. Some offices have adopted the practice of classifying most foreign intelligence matters at the "Secret" level irrespective of the significance of the case or the importance of informants utilized. This is undesirable and should be corrected. , 2. Failure to include justification statement when basis for classification not clear and self-evident. A justification statement is necessary, for example, whenever a communication contains. informa - tion attributed to two or more confidential sources. - oS 11/19/74 ae MEMORANDUM 55-74 -8 - EO
Le 3. Failure to mark individual paragraphs or sections of a report or letterhead memorandum as to classification level. The rule is that individual paragraph markings should be included wherever this can be done conveniently and without time-consuming delay. It would appear that —________this could be easily done with regard to the vast majority of communica- tions reporting on current in investigations. You ‘should review the foregoing matters with appropriate super - visory personnel and insure that all employees who have occasion to prepare classified communications are thoroughly familiar with the revised provisions of the Manual of Rules and Regulations covering this area, Clarence M.

(E) COPYRIGHT MATTER -- SAC Letter 72-22, (B), dated 4/25/72, brought attention to the fact that as a result of the passage of Public Law 92-140, signed by the President 10-15-71, and providing for creation of a limited copyright for sound recordings (records or tapes), the Copyright Office, Arlington, Virginia, had advised the Alexandria Office-that a time lag of-2-te-6—-menths-existed at that time between receipt of a copyright application or a letter containing either notice of use or intention to use copyright material, and the actual preparation and indexing of a file card advising that same has been received. The above time lag has become a source of difficuity in adequately handling on a timely basis the requests received by the Alexandria Office from other field offices. In addition, because of this time lag factor, many Agent man-hours are lost in handling repeat — searches of the same titles. In an attempt to overcome this situation which exists at the Copyright Office and to prevent unnecessary expenditure of Agent man- hours in making repeat searches-of records, the following instructions are being instituted: C : in the investigation of a Copyright Matter, the field office receiving the complaint should attempt to determine the actual producer. of the bona fide version of the tape or recording involved and then set out a lead for the office covering the home office of that company to determine the copyright status of the sound recording. If a copyright is, in fact, . held by that company, the company should be able to supply the copyright date and number from its company records. It should be noted that copyrights granted sound recordings are prefixed by the letter "N." Sub- sequently, verification could be made at the U. S. Copyright Office, _ Arlington, Virginia, by setting out a lead for the Alexandria Office. Ad- ditionally, since Public Law 92-140 provides as criteria for violation of the sound recordings section that "only those sound recordings fixed and published on or after 2-15-72, are eligible for registration," verification of the exact date the recording in question was fixed could be established from the home office of that company. A sound recording is "fixed" when the complete series of sounds constituting the work is first produced on a final master recording that is later reproduced in published copies. etree { 3/6/73 ares MEMORANDUM 10-73 -3- * , BA 35041 Doold:i 32989525 Page 422 +

Most record —dealers have access to catalogs which provide basic information of this nature. Astute selection of recordings with prosecutive merit should be made to preclude investigative expenditure of Agent man-hours in the handling of leads. Manual changes will follow. 3/6/73 MEMORANDUM 10-73 - (F) DISPOSAL OF SURPLUS FURNITURE -- Bureau documents recently came into the possession of unauthorized persons apparently as a result of inadequate security in disposing of surplus furniture. In the future, when desks or other furniture that have held Bureau docu- ments are declared surplus, the items should be thoroughly searched by both Agent and clerical personnel. Desks and other equipment should _ be first searched by an Agent when their use is discontinued. At the time property is declared surplus and transferred to another agency it should be searched by the property clerk, even though it has been locked and/or otherwise sealed in the interim between original search and disposal. ’ (Security page attached) MEMORANDUM 10- 73 a = 4.

(G) USE OF CHARACTERS ON BUREAU COMMUNICATIONS -- With increasing frequency, FBIHQ is receiving communications bearing improper or misleading characters. The Internal Security, Revolu- tionary Activity, Civil Unrest, and Extremist Matter characters are being used on communications reporting the activity of individuals and organizations that shouid not be classified as revolutionary, subversive or extremist. This particularly occurs in communications containing information on demonstrations-or other types of protest activity sponsored by groups which do not have revolutionary or subversive backgrounds. Information relating to protests by legitimate organizations in pursuance of their constitutional rights should not carry an Internal Security, Revolutionary Activity or other character implying that the FBI considers the groups to be a threat to the internal security or ofa revolutionary nature. Bearing in mind that the FBI has no interest in individuals and organizations involved in legitimate dissent, where it is deemed necessary to report on activities of such groups, communi-~ cations should bear the character ''Miscellaneous - Information Con- cerning" foliowed by tie pareuttetical-insertion of the interested Buroau ~ division or section (see Manual of Rules and Regulations, Part II, Section 4, Item 14, page 3). The above instructicns are not intended to relieve you of the .— obligation of being aware of activity scheduled to take place in your territory where the possibility of civil disorder may occur as a result of disruptive elements. This type of activity should be followed through public and established sources to develop any possible violations of Title 18, U. S. Code, Sections 231, 2101, 2383 or 2384 or any other statutes over which the Bureau has investigative responsibility. In the event a potential for violence develops, the Bureau should be promptly advised. Any violation of Federai statutes should, of course, be submitted under appropriate caption. This should be brought te the attention of supervisory and investigative personnel handling these matters to assure that current Bureau instructions are being followed. L.

The increase in participation by Agent personnel and the enthusiasm generated in the overall competition for the "J, Edgar Hoover Practical Pistol Course Trophy" are indeed heartening. This year the overall average for Special Agents ——~participating was 91. 127— : 1/4/72 SAC LETTER 72-1 (D) ARMED SPECIAL AGENTS ON BOARD AIRCRAFT - CRIMES ABOARD AIRCRAFT -- Recent instances have been reported wherein Bureau Agents on official business traveling by air upon boarding com- mercial flights have been requested by the pilot to surrender their — weapons and/or cartridges to the custody of the pilot until the Agent arrives at his destination. Agents are not to surrender their weapons upon request to flight captains. 7 Pilots making a request of this nature are in direct opposition with provisions in Title 49, U. S. Code, Section 1412, and Federai Aviation Administration regulation in Air Security Bulletin 71-1, c paragraph 6b. A copy of the Federal Aviation Administration Bulletin — was previously furnished as an enclosure to SAC Letter 71-11 (C) en- _ titled "Crime Aboard Aircraft - Safety of Passengers and Crew." To preclude similar incidents from occurring, the Special . Agent in Charge, or in his absence the Assistant Special Agent in Charge, in field divisions wherein the home office of a major U. S. commercial carrier is located is contacting the appropriate executive airline official, higher than the carrier's security officer, to advise him of the FBI Agents’ authority to be armed while on official business and traveling via air transportation.

Practical Pistol Course (PPC) During the ist and 3rd training periods, Agents will be permitted to fire the | PPC either singie- or double-action at the 60- and 50-yarc lines. The remainder of the course will “be fired doubie-action. “Instructors should refer to Training Document #1, pages 118-143, relative to . this course. - va e “‘hotgun Courses Prior to the firing of any shotgun course, each Agent will receive instruction «. in the safe and proper method of unloading either the Model 870 or the Model 31 shotgun, depending on which weapon is to be used. To properly unload the Model 870 shotgun, each Agent will, with the safety oa, depress the action release; pull the foregrip toward the rear until the front end of the shell from the barrel is even with the front end of the ejection port; then lift the front end of the shell from the receiver. {The action must be opened slowly to avoid releasing the next shell from the magazine.) Press up on the shell carrier, place _ hand under the receiver and pull foregrip fully to the rear which will drop the first shell from the magazine. Leaving the action fully open, depress the right shell stop which releases the second shell from the magazine. Repeat-until the magazine is empty. To properly unload the Model 31 shotgun, each Agent will, with the safety on, depress the left shell stop which releases the first shell from the magazine. Repeat until the magazine is empty. Depress the action release, then pull the foregrip toward the rear until the sheli from the barrel is ejected, After unloading either shotgun, the Agent should look through the ejection port to insure there is no shell ih the barrel or the magazine. ~4- NW 35041 Doold: 32989525 Page 464
Shotgun Course #1 Shotgun Course #1 will be fired during the Ist outdoor shoot. Ten points are scored for each hit and 2 qualifying score is 60. Scores are to be recorded on each Agent's FD-40. (See Training Document #30, pages 31-44. ) Shoteun, Course fo. Shotgun Course #2 will be fired during the 2nd and 4th outdoor shoots. “There is no qualification; however, the scores should be posted on the Agent's 1 ED ~40, (See Training Document 430, pages 45-69, ) ’ Shotgun Course To Shotgun Course #3 will be fired during the 3rd outdoor shoot. The course consists of firing five rifled slugs from the 50-yard line at an Army “E" (bobber) target. Only one round is to be loaded in the shotgun and the weapon reloaded after each shot. ‘The first two rifled slugs are fired from a standing position. Upon : ‘3 completion of the second shot, the shooter, with the action open and safety on, drops - to the strong knee and reloads one round. The remaining three slugs are fired from this kneeling position with stress being on the proper loading and handling of the weapon, Hach hit has a value of 20 and a qualifying score is 60. The score shculd be entered on the Agent's I FD-40, . Rifle Course The Rifle Course will be fired during the ist and 3rd outdoor shoots using the - Model 760, .308 caliber Remington rifles and carbines. Plastic training ammunition is tobe used. The course will consist of firing 10 rounds, four rounds prone, four rounds kneeling, and two rounds off-hand, from the 50-yard line at an Army "L" (oull's-eye) target. The shots will be fired "slow fire,"* The point of aim should he the center of the bull’s-eye.. Scores should be posted on the Agent's FD-40, Qualifying score is 60. . Technique and Use of the Blackjack The blackjack is to be used only in self-defense. It is a matter of individual preference where the blackjack is carried; however, it should be carried in the same place at all times, in a piace convenient to reach, and not exposed to public view. -5- NW 35041 .DoclId: 32989525 Page 465
The blackjack may be held by grasping the handle with the thumb on top or , with the thumb overlapping the index finger. It may also be grasped using the regular fist grasp on the weighted “end. if there is a thong, it should not be wrapped around the wrist, but rather, should be lcoped over the thumb or index finger and carried across the back of the hand before grasping the butt of the blackjack. This grip will secure the blackjack to the hand and also allow it to be released quickly if necessary. Blows with the blackjack should be Short and snappy; using mostly the wrist and~—— —— forearm. Roundhouse blows using the entire arm are not advisable because they are slow, inaccurate, and it is difficult to regulate the force of the blow. When the weighted end is grasped, short upward and sideward jabs with the tip of the blackjack and “orthodox fist blows are struck. _ Effective blows can be struck on the various joints -- knuckles or back of hand, wrist, elbow, shoulder, knee, and ankle; and on other vulnerable areas, such as: the shin, collarbone, forearm, upper arm, thigh, kidney, pit of stomach, and solar plexus. Do not strike an individual on the head because: (1) fatal results might ensue; (2) the head is easier to defend than otier vulnerable parts of the body; and (3) attempting to strike an individual on the head plazes the blackjack and the hand and arm involved in delivering the blow in a position vulnerable te a counterattack or disarming movement. A suggested technique in handling the blackjack is to feint a blow to the head and then ‘a rike a joint (example: knee) or some other vulnerable area. Gas Equipment — ; _ 7 _— Training with the Bureau's gas equipment is scheduled for the 1st and 3rd out- - door shoots. Instructors should refer to Manual of Instructions, Volume I, Section 3, Page 3, and Police Instructors' Bulletins on tear gas dated August 1, 1967, October 2, 1967, and November 13, 1968. The proper use of the aerosol ‘tear gas dispensers should be emphasized. Each Agent should practice with his weak hand using the dis-" pensers with a bobber target used as targets at distances of five and ten feet. Handcuffing, Searches, and Transporting Prisoners During the 2nd and 4th outdoor shoots instructors should explain and demon- strate the proper methods to apply handcuffs, cohduct searches, and transport prisoners. Instructors shouid refer to Training Locument #72. entitled "Handcuffing” _and Training Document #48 on "Searches of Persons." Instructors will insure each Agent is proficient in the use of ail restraining devices, Reporting _ Each Special Agent in Charge must notify the Bureau, Attention: Training -“ivision, by July 31, 1972, the results of both the ist and 2nd training periods, The vureau must also be notified by October 15, 1°72, the results of both the 3rd and 4th training periods.

No Agent should be permitted to become delinquent two consecutive training periods except in cases of physical disability or in extreme emergencies. In-Service training should be counted in lieu of one scheduled outdoor training period during the year. ; DEFENSIVE TACTICS A minimum of 60 minutes of each outdoor firearms training period will he devoted to practice in Defensive Tactics. This training should be scheduled during the early part of the day rather than at the conclusion of firearms training. All techniques must be practiced by each Agent. 1. All techniques must be first practiced in "slow action" and - speeded up only after the mechanics are thoroughly learned. 2. The Agent acting as the subject should offer only passive resistance and give with pressure. Active resistance leads to injury and impedes learning. 3. The Agent performing the techniques. should apply pressure slowly and be extremely careful to simulate the striking of all blows. This will allow the subject ample time to signal that he _ ". is being hurt and tiie operator can stop before injury occurs, ' 4, Only the first phase of techniques involving a throw, Trap, - "or take-down will be practiced. “#5.

(2) LAWSUITS AGAINST THE FBI -- We are experiencing an ever- increasing number of lawsuits designed to harass and disrupt FBI operations and challenge FBI authority to investigate certain matters, particularly in the security field. One such lawsuit was brought in June, 1970, in U. S. District Court, Southern District of New York, by The Fifth Avenue’ Peace Parade Committee against the Director; Assistant Director in Charge of the New York Office, and The Amalgamated Bank of New York (ABNY). This lawsuit charged that the FBI harassed antiwar demonstrators in New York City during November, 1969, and that the ABNY gave information to the FBI without the knowledge or consent of depositors and without a subpoena. A Federal judge has held that the FBI indeed has authority to gather intelligence information relating to demonstrations pursuant to Title 28, U. S. Code, Section 533, and that the ABNY did not violate plaintiffs’ rights by releasing information to the FBI without a subpoena. The suit against both the FBI and the ABNY was dismissed by the judge an who stated that pleintiffs had presented no evidence which proved their rights had been violated. - © During trial in this suit it became apparent that if our Agents had deviated even slightly from existing Bureau instructions during the ___ f investigation, the legitimate purpose of the intelligence-gathering investigation could have been exceeded and the rights of the demonstrators ( abridged. For example, Agents openly carrying cameras in the immediate . “4 area of the demonstrators; interviewing demonstrators or drivers of buses carrying demonstrators or, generally, being obtrusive could have 4 . "chilled" the Constitutional rights of the demonstrators, according to 7 : the judge. In addition, judge ruled that dissemination of the results of the investigation to agencies which would have no ostensible reason to receive them would be an unconstitutional abridgment of demonstrators’ i _ rights. : Each, Special Agent in Charge should insure that all ' investigations in this most sensitive area are conducted with utmost L discretion and the results disseminated only to those agencies which : have legitimate need to receive them. You should also remain alert 5 for similar lawsuits, whether brought against the FBI or other law enforcement agencies in your Division, and keep the Bureau fully . 4 advised of details, progress, and results.
