Memorandum to Mr Sullivan
Re: MEDBURG
Jintention that by careful planning we may be in a position to
@pprehena those participating in this new break-in (15 to' 25
individuals): during the actual attempt_ We hope to link many of
'these individuals with the Media break-in.
By memorandum dated June: 24 1971, reference was made to
the: 'feasibility of conducting
a
grand jury hearing into Medburg-
It was recommended and approved" that no action be taken along these
lines until the discontinuance" 'of our electronic surveillance at the
Pennsylvania cabin_ In view Of the fact our current inquiries have
resulted in our being in a position to anticipate a hit by the
'Grady. group within the next two weeks , any.grand jury action would
obviously adversely influence 'Grady' s plans for: his newest break-in_
ACTION: If approved, we will: 'continue our efforts along the lines
set forth above , and no discussion will be had at this time with the
Internal 'Security Division relative to a
possible grand jury hearing
on Medburg _

This is to summarize the current status of our inves-
tigation of captioned matter ana to consider future plans in
connection with the development of information indicating 3
planned
break-in at the Post_Office Building, Camden , _ New Jersey , scheduled
for 25 , 1971_
John Peter 'Grady , a close associate of the Berrigan
brothers
1
according to several sources , claims to have planned and
participated in the Media burglary _ He was allegedly assisted by
Fathers Joseph 0' Rourke , Peter Fordi_ and Edward McGowan In
addition , at least three other alleged associates of the Berrigan
group are believed to have participated Through information
recently developed Grady has been pinpointed as the individual
who Iasterminded at least 14 of the 18 break-ins of various
Government facilities during the past two Years _ He currently
neads up what is termed the I Zction group St and is reported
reliably as being a staunch advocate of Tf hits" on Federal
facilities as a means of embarrassing the Federal Governmert_
During the past several weeks , we have been successful
in inserting a highly productive source into a group led by Grady
Which is presently planning a break-in of the draft board office
with alternate targets being Military Intelligence ana the FBI
RResident Agency all located in the Post Office Building at Camden
0
iNew Jersey a Government reservation_ The early morning hours of
Sunday _
F
18 , 1971
1 was the original target date However ,
Philadelphia has now reportea that, in all probability the
hit would be delayea until July 25 1971 in order to allow elements
Ifrom the Newark_
{
New Jersey , area to participate_ Under the
direction of SAC K_ Moore
{ on special Medburg assignment with
the cooperation of SACs_

Philadelphia and Newark arrangements have
been perfected aimed at apprehending these individuals red-handed

Memorandum to Mr Sullivan
Re : Burglary Of FBI Resident Agency
Media, Pennsylvania, 3-8-71
With respect to the proposed Camden break-in, it was
recognized from the outset that secrecy was imperative-~both from
the" standpoint of protecting our source who has "successfully
associated himself to a very close degree with Grady and more
important , insuring there be no leak which would scare off 'Grady
and his group By memoranda June 28 and July 7 1971 we pointed
out the' importance of keeping these
plans confidentiai it being
imperative that there be no dissemination outside the FBI at this
time It is SAC Moore 1 S recommendation we not alert at this time
any agencies having an interest and/or located in the Post Office
Building. This would include General Services Administration , the
military, Selective Service_ and Postal authorities To do So might
result in activity which could very well alert the alleged
perpetrators who are very sensitive to any
unusual activity and
who have the Post Office under surveillance
It should be noted the Internal Security Division of the
Department has requested it be advised of all matters having any
possible connection with the Berrigan group None of the individuals
known to be planning participation in the Camden break-in are among
those indicted with Berrigan in the Eastcon case Nevertheless it
appears persons associated with the Berrigan group are involved in
the planning of the Camden break-in and all seem to be inextricably
intertwined in the Berrigan and Eastcon philosophies_
It is also noted that in a memorandu dated March 29 , 1971 ,
the Internal Security Division indicated
f
in view of the interest
of that Division in those individuals associated with Eastcon and
the Berrigan supporters
1
they desired the Media case be handled in
its entirety by the Special Litigation Section of the Internal
Security Division They also requested that in addition to
communications all prosecutive presentations shoula be made to the
Special Litigation Section_
ACTION: In view of the above developments indicating a tentative
action date for 25 _
I
1971, it is recommended this matter be
presented at this time to the Special Litigation Section well in
advance 0f the target date in order that there can be no question
concerning the propriety of our proposed action The Bureau
obviously must fulfill its' responsibilities in this case which
might involve the apprehension of from 15 to 25 individuals in the
commission of the intended break-in 0f the Post Office Building_
In order to preclude as much as possible any unforeseen difficulties ,

[[A. PRESS POLICY
1, Confidential Nature of FBI Operations
See Part I, Section 1, page 9 , paragraph B of Manual of Rules and
Regulations_
2. Title 28 , Section 50.2 of the Code of Federal Regulations concerning
release of information by personnel of the Department of Justice
relating to criminal and civil proceedings states:
"(a) General (1) The availability to news media of information in
criminal and civil cases is a matter which has become increasingly 3
sub ject of concern in the administration of justice_ The purpose of
this statement is to formulate specific guidelines for the release of
such information by personnel of the Department of Justiceo
"(2) While the release of information for the purpose of influencing 2
trial of course always improper there are valid reasons for making
available to the public information about the administration of the law
The task of striking a fair balance between the protection of individuals
accused of crime or involved in civil proceedings with the Government
and public understandings of the problems of controlling crime and
administering government depends largely on the exercise of sound judg-
ment by those responsible for administering the law and by representa-
tives of the press and other media.
"(3) Inasmuch as the Department of Justice has generally fulfilled
its responsibilities with awareness and understanding of the competing
needs in this area , this statement to a considerable extent reflects
and formalizes the standards to
Which representatives
of the Department
have adhered in the past. Nonetheless , it Will be helpful in ensuring
uniformity of practice to forth the following guidelines for aLl
personnel of the Department of Justice.
"(4) Because of the difficulty and importance of the questions
raise it is felt that some portions of the matters covered by this
statement , such as the authorization to make available Federal con-
viction records and a description of items seized at the time of arrest ,
should be the subject of continuing review and consideration by the
Department on the basis of experience and suggestions from those Within
and outside the Department -
"(b) Guidelines to criminal actions_ 6
(1) These guidelines shall
apply to the release of information to news media from the time a
person is the subject of a criminal investigation until any proceeding
resulting from such aS investigation has been terminated by trial or
otherwise.
"(2) At no time shall personnel of the Department of Justice furnish
any statement Or information for the purpose of influencing the out~
come of 8 defendant' s trial nor shall personnel of the Department
furnish any statement Or
information,
which could reasonably be expected
to be disseminated by means of public communication, if such 3 statement
or information may reasonably be expected to influence the outcome of
a pending or future trial_
"(3) Personnel of the Department of Justice, subject to specific limita-
tions imposed by law or court rule or order, may make public the follow-
ing information:

"(5) Because of the particular danger of prejudice resul from
statements in the period approaching and trial ought
strenuously to be avoided during that period_ such statement or
release shall be made on the infrequent occasion when circumstances
absolutely demand a disclosure of information and shall include only
information which is clearly not prejudicial
"(6) The release of certain types of information generally tends to
create dangers of prejudice without serving a significant law enforce_
ment functiono Therefore, personnel of the Department should refrain
from making available the following:

"(ii) Statements , admissions confessions

All news releases made by field offices should be issued over the
name of the SAC , They should be issued to all interested news media
in the field office territory 2s simultaneously as possible; and
should provide aS full an account of the facts as can be disclosed
Within the provisions of Section 50.20 In news releases announcing
arrests or other developments attributable to the joint efforts of
the FBI and other law enforcement agencies, appropriate recognition
should , of course, be given to those other agencies.
SACs may authorize other experienced Special Agents including
Resident Agents
2
in their field offices to read or deliver news
releases issued over the SAC' s name to news media after the SAC
has approved those news releases 0 However those Special Agents
should not expand upon the information in the news releases; and
should answer any inquiry or request for additional informa-
tion by courteously telling the newsman involved that his inquiry
or request will be brought to the attention of the SAC as quickly
as possible for his consideration and actiono The reason for the
policy of referring all such matters to the SAC is to assure both
uniformity and accuracy of any supplemental information that is
provided to news media.
SACs also may authorize other experienced Special Agents to record
news releases in compliance with requests of radio and television
stations However SACs or ASACs should make live or filmed
television appearances involving the reading of news releases.
SACs have the option of accepting or declining such time-consuing
requests made by radio and television stations If declined
however , the declinations should be tactfully worded and explained
SO as to avoid any impression of partiality. If a request is
accepted =
3
the radio and/or television station involved should under-
stand that the SAC or the Special Agent designated the SAC will
merely read the text of the news release and will not answer questions.
On occasion, SACs also issue news releases or make announcements
dealing with adninistrative matters such as transfers of the SAC
or ASAC of the field office or presentation of service awards to
personnel of the field office. On such occasions , photographs
and biographical sketches of the personnel involved may be made
available to the news media. However , requests to interview these
employees about their official duties and experiences should
tactfully be declined.

ba "Multi-Office" news releases
News releases announcing arrests or other important developments
in wide-ranging investigations often require close coordination
and simultaneous release to the press by two or more field offices.
The External Affairs Division should be consulted before any such
news release is made, and consideration should be given to the
question of whether a national news release is meritede

40 News Media Inquiries
There are tIvo categories of news media inquiries. The first involves
routine inquiries received at the field office regarding either investi-
gative or administrative matters_ These should be answered by the SAC
or ASAC within the guidelines indicated above
In responding to such inquiries SACs and ASACs should be courteous ,
factual and as helpful as possible. should , however , avoid
answering hypothetical questions or questions that would require them
to express personal opinions on matters of intense local or national
controversy.
The second category involves inquiries from the news media in emergency
situations. Of ten these are received by Special Agents at the scenes
of arrests , battles, or other fast-moving developments in investigations_
Unless undercover assignments or similar overriding circumstances dic-
tate otherwise , Special Agents who are approached by newsmen at the scenes
of fast-moving developments in FBI cases should (a) identify themselves
as "a Special Agent of the FBI," (b) furnish the name of the field office
to which are assigned
9
and (c) state the general nature of the inves-
tigative operations
3
such as "We are here to serve an arrest (or a search)
warrante" Requests for additional information should be answered by
cour- teously referring the newsman to the field office Or to the tem-
porary field headquarters if such a temporary field headquarters has
been established in the area,
SACs. or ASACs should participate in question-and-answer interviews:
with representatives of any news medium at the scenes of fast-moving
developments in FBI cases, In emergency situations
9
however , Special
Agents can relay reporters' questions to the SAC' by telephone or radio;
and the SAC' s responses thereto can be furnished to the reporters in
the SAC' s name by a Special Agent 0 In other than such situa-
tions Special Agents should courteously refer newsmen
eaetfenSKc
to the OI ASAC for
answers to their questions; and Special Agents investigative
re= sponsibilities attendant to such fast-moving developments must take
precedence over questions or inquiries of newsmen .
No FBI employee should knowingly furnish an erroneous , deceptive
7 or
misleading answer to a news media inquiry. In the overwhelming ma _ jority
of cases , an unequivocal and definitive answer can be given reporters'
questions regarding whether the FBI is , or is not , investigating a
specific criminal act as well as the reason we have or have not
instituted
investigation,
However , in kidnap-for-ransom cases and
related crimes involving a threat against human life, neither the fact
that the crime has occurred , nor the fact that the FBI is investigating
should be disclosed or confirmed without the approval of the sub-
stantive investigative division and the External Affairs Divisiono
Due to the sensitivity of many banking-type institutions to publicity
concerning the amount of loot obtained in robberies burglaries
9
and
larcenies of financial institutions, such information should not be
disclosed to news media without the concurrence of the General Investi-
gative Division and the External Affairs Divisiono

PART II 6A
SECTI 6 , PUBLICATIONS PRESS , AND PSLIC CONTACTS
Under no circumstances should any employee ask or suggest that a news-
man withhold information from the public without the concurrence of the
substantive investigative division and the External Affairs Division.
5 , Fugitive Publicity
News releases and other public disclosures designed to solicit public
cooperation in the apprehension of FBI fugitives may contain more facts
about the fugitive' s criminal background than are permissible in news
releases and announcements regarding arrests.
In publicity regarding FBI fugitives , extreme care should be taken to
avoid statements that brand a fugitive as guilty of a crime for which
E
he has not been convicted. Arrest numbers or other data that identify
a photograph as having been made in connection with a past arrest or
imprisonment should not appear in photographs of fugitives that are
furnished to news mediae
Field offices should coordinate all fugitive publicity With the Special_
Investigative Division and the External Affairs Division; and should
not hesitate to consult the External Affairs Division regarding ques-
tions or problems that arise in any area of news media relations
6 . Liaison With News Media
SACs who consider it necessary or advisable to do SO may use one or
more experienced Special Agents to assist in facilitating prompt and
effective liaison with the news media: Such Agents will not be spokes-
men for their field offices. may furnish information to news
media in the SAC' s nane after it has been approved by the SAC .
also may assist in preparing news releases as well as responses to
news media inquiries. These Agents should devote no more time to such
news media liaison duties than is absolutely necessary.
It is the intent of these guidelines to facilitate a more open stance
and thereby , a mutually beneficial relationship between FBI and news medi=
a representatives. SACS , as well as other employees acting for them
in news media relations, should be as responsive as practical and pos_-
sible to inquiries and requests made by newsmeno The term "No comment"
should be avoided except when its use is absolutely necessary: If an
SAC does not know the answer to a newsman S question he should have no
hesitancy in stating "I don 't know ," and/or depending upon the nature
of the inquiry, teliing the newsman that he will contact him (the news-
man) as soon as he has information that can be furnished to him.
SACs should avail thenselves of every opportunity to meet and become
well acquainted with leading citizens throughout their field divisions
including representatives of all important news mediao should seek
to cultivate a personal, as well as an official, relationship with these
individuals to the fullest extent that the demands of other duties make
possible.]

[N. BUR EAU-WIDE INFORMATION PROGRAM REGARDING MATTFRS OF NATIONAL INTEREST
This program is coordinated by the External Affairs Division and is devoted
primarily to supplying SACs facts regarding current happenings including
both administrative and investigative developments , that are topics of
nationwide press coverage and public interest.
All such communications to SACs bear the caption "BUREAU-WIDE INFORMATION
PROGRAM" and are in the form of either teletypes or airtels, dependent upon
the exigencies of the situation
The purpose of this program is to assure that each SAC possesses the key
facts concerning important happenings anywhere within the" FBI that command
widespread public interest. Information furnished to SACs under this program
should prove helpful to them , as well as to other FBI personnel in answer-
questions correcting misunderstandings , and dispelling false rumors
that may exist either within or without the ranks of the FBI In some
instances , however the information may be of such a nature that it cannot
be disclosed in whole Or in part to outsiders. In fact occasionally it is
necessary to restrict discussion and disclosure of the information even within
FBIHQ and field officese Guidelines furnished on each communication should
be strictly followed.
FBIHQ and field office personnel should promptly bring to the attention of
the External Affairs Division all current items and .developments that
feel merit consideration for inclusion under this programe

SECTION 6 , PUBLICATIONS , PRESS $ AND PUBLIC CONTACTS
Under no circustances should any enployee ask Or suggest that 2 news~
man withhold information from the public without the concurrence of the
substantive investigative division and the External Affairs Divigiono'
5 , Fugitive Publicity
Newvs releases and other public disclosures designed to solicit public
cooperation in the apprehension of FBI fugitives may contain more facts
about the fugitive ? s criminal background than are permissible in news
releases and announcements regarding arrestso
In publicity regarding FBI fugitives, extreme care should be taken to
avoid statements that brand a fugitive as guilty of 2 crime for which
he has not been convictedo Arrest numbers or other data that identify
a photograph as having been made in connection With a past errest or
imprisonment should not appear in photographs of fugitives that are
furnished to news media.
Field offices should coordinate all fugitive publicity with the Special
Investigative Division and the External Affairs Division; and should
not hesitate to consult the External Affairs Division regarding ques-
tions or problems that arise any area of news media relations
Liaison With News Media
SACs who consider it necessary or advisable to do SO may use one or
more experienced Special Agents to assist in facilitating prompt and
effective liaison th the news media, Such Agents will not be spokes-
men for their field officeso may furnish information to news
media in the SAC ' s name after it has been approved by the SAC.
also may assist in preparing news releases , aS well as responses to
news media inquiries These Agents should devote no more time to such
news media liaison duties than is absolutely necessary.
It is the intent of these guidelines to facilitate a more open stance
and thereby
9 3 mutually beneficial relationship between FBI and news media representatives.
SACs as well as 0 ther employees acting for them
in news media relations 9 should be a5 responsive as practical and pos-
sible to inquiries and requests made by newsmen . The tern "No comment"
should be avoided except when its use is absolutely necessary. If an
SAC does not know the answer to 3 newsman S question he should have no
hesitancy in stating "I don't know ," and/or
depending
upon the nature
of the inquiry ,
teliing
the newsman that he will contact him the news-
man) as soon as he has information that can be furnished to hime
SACs should avail themselves of every opportunity to meet and become
well acquainted with leading citizens throughout their field divisions
including representatives of all important news mediao should seek
to cultivate 2 personal , as well as an official, relationship wi th these
individuals to the fullest extent that the demands of other duties 'make
possiblee]

3 , Each field office is required to submit three suggestions for byline
articles from each state within its territory. Prior to submitting
suggestions proposed authors may be approached to determine their
Wiilingness to prepare an article and to identify the scope of their
topic. However proposed authors should not be asked to prepare a manuscript untii
the Bureau notifies the field office that the sug-
gestion has been accepted and the article is requested_ In contacts
with any proposed or potential authors , absolutely no representations
should be made which: would obligate the FBI to any publishing com-
mitments since many factors determine which articles received are
ultimately published_
ba In suggesting featured articles , consideration should mainly be given
to manuscripts concerning proven programs and techniques of law
enforcement which may be of significant value to other agencies .
Suggestions should be concerned With training
3'
research, or opera-
tional matters. Avoid items of a "newsletter" nature and matters
which have 3 limited scope of interest in the profession .
Each field office should be alert to exceptional photographs which
could be recommended for use as a cover for the magazine_ The Bureau
wishes to project on the Bulletin' s cover the best image of law en-
forcement Attention-getting tographs showing officers giving aid
to helpless citizens protecting the weak, conforting the injured or
apprehending the
guiity
are examples of those that should be recom-
mended when come to the attention of field offices.

This program is coordinated by the External Affairs Division and is devoted:
prinarily to supplying SACs facts regarding current happenings

including
both administrative and investigative developents , that are topics of
nationtvide press coverage and public interest
6
All such comminications to SACs bear the caption "BUREAU-WIDE INFORMATION
PROCRAM" and are in the form of either teletypes or airtels , dependent upon
the exigencies of the situation_
The purpose of this program is to assure that each SAC possesses the key
facts concerning important happenings . anywhere within the FBI that command
widespread' public interest. Information furnished to SACs under this program
should prove helpful_ to them9 as well as to other FBI personnel , in answer-
questions correcting misunderstandings , and' dispelling false rlmors
that may exist either within o1 without the ranks of the FBI In sone
instances, however the information may be of such a nature that it cannot
be disclosed in whole or in part to outsicerso In fact
9
occasionally it is
necessary to restrict discussion and disclosure of the information even within
FBIHQ and field offices. Guidelines furnished on each communication should
be strictly followedo
FBIHQ_ and field office personnel should promptly bring to the attention of
the External Affairs Division all current items and developments that
feel merit consideration for inclusion under this programo

This procedurc i8 mandatory, even thougk tho security &spects of
+he data have not been fully resolved or verified _ It should
be specifically pointed out in such instances tha t the infor-
mation ha s not been verified.
Section 87D 5b of this manual instructs tbat if it i8 determined
2 security subject is a member of the armed services the invcsti_
gation at that point be discontinued immediately and reported
to the Bureau. The basis for such instruction lies iT the fact
that the subject is n0 longcr within our: inves tigative juris_
dietion. In addition, dis 8 emination of pertinent reports mus +
be made locally in the field t0 the &ppropriatc intelligence
agency.
Our responsibility with regard to military personncl is not con
fined to thos € who have been the subjects 0f 8 ecurity inves ti-
gations _ It eztends to any subvcrsive derogatory data developed

reising security implications
3
thc appropriete intelligencc
service s hould be immediatcly advised Locally. Tis S hould be
done even though the security aspects of the contact have not been
resolved, 80 that the military services may be in a positioI t0 dis_
cherge their .responsibilities It nus t be pointed ou % to them

tinent data, including reports on the security sub jects involved .

MIION 87 . SECURITY INVESTIGA' NS 87D
The above is not all-inclusivc. Facts 1 reloped in each cas @
will produce infoimation mhich mill be indica#ivc of the ncces sity
for 00 nducting further inves ti gation along lines which mill
necessitete tne uS 0 of varions invcstigative techniques t0 devclop
tbe C28 6 fully. Yhe succcs sful_ investigation of an individual
will depend upon the resourcefulness 0f the inves bi gating Agents
in developing techniques_ which will furthber establish the sub-
vers ive activity 0f a subject.
Discretion must be in those instences in which contact
with persons known to the subject is believed desira:le _
Where such contact i8 contemplated , the 4gent s hould ssure
hins elf of the charecter, loyalty, and reliebility of thc Person
t0 be contacted concerning th e subject by reviewing the office
indices and in some instences conducting preliminary inquiry,
pos sibly under pretext, with othcrs t0 ascerttain lhe character,
reliability, and loyelty 0f the person of whom inquiry concern-
ing the cub ject is intended _
In conducting security investigations the nece: sity of" ob_
taining adnissible evidence mus & be continually borne in mind
However, sources furnishing information of a confidential nature
are valuable end should be continued and enlarged for the pur-
pos e of obtaining information which can be .corroborated by
other sources which can be disclos ed, thus rendering the infor-
mation admis sible 28 evidence.
The denger of relying upon evidence from one confidential
informant or other source is obvious and every effort should be
made to obtain evidepce from verious types of sources and through
verious inves tigative techniqucs
Information obtained from one source should be corroboreted
by contacts #ith confidential informants, public and private
sources, through physical and photogra surve illances,
review of office files, 2nd other sources Adequate
qoordination of information received from confidential 5 ourccs
with active inves tigetior should be maintained a + 211 times For
example, mhen it is 2scertained through one of thes & sources that
2n important meeting is to occur , the nature of the meeting shoula
be confirned if pos s ible independent sources which can furnish
evidence of 2n admis s ible charactero The meeting should: be covered
by 2rrangement for ettendance confidential informants #o ob-
tain &dmissible evidence o f the proceedings The meetings should
be placed under physical surveillance , licenses of automobiles
parked near the meeting plac e noted and attendants identified _
If possible aud edvisable, photographic surveillances should
be established. Other types of informa tion received fron confi-
dential sources should receivo similar attention in order that
verification may b e,nade and admis sible evidence developea.
(6) Preservation of evidence
(2) Identify, preserve , end maintain continuity of evidence ob~
tained with 2 viem to its possibl e admis sion in Federal pro_"

SL _ fION 87 . SECURITY INVESTIGATI--S 87D
The above i8 not all-inclusive. Facts developed in each cas e
mill produce information which will be indicative of the neces sity
for conducting further investigation along lines which will
neces sitate uS e of various investigative techniques to develop
tbe Case fully. The gucces sful investigation of an individual
will depend upon the resourcefulness of the investigating Agents
in developing techniques_ which will further es tablish the sub-
versive activity of a sub jecto
Discretion must be used in thos e instances in which contact
wi th Persons known to the sub ject i $ believed desirable
Where such contact is contemplated , the 4gent shoula 2S sure
himg elf of the character, loyalty, and reliability 0f the Person
t0 be contacted concerning the subject by reviewing the office
indices 2nd in some instances conducting preliminary inquiry,
pos sibly under pretert, wi th others t0 ascertain the character,
reliability, and loyalty of -the person of whom inquiry concern-
ing the sub ject is intended .
In Co nducting security investigetions the neces sity of ob -
taining admis 8 ible evidence mus + be continually borne in mind ,
However sources furnishing information of a confidential nature
are valuabl e should be continued and enlarged for the pur-
Pos e of obtaining. information -which_ can be corroborated by
other sources mbich cin be disclos ed, tbus rendering the infor-
mation adnis sible 25 evidence,
The danger of relying "; on evidence from one confidentiel
informant or other sour: & is obvious and every effort should be
made to obtain evidence from various types of sources 2nd through
various investigetive techniques .
Information obtained from one source should be corroborated
by contacts with confidential inf;rmants , public an private
sources , through phys ical and photo graphic surveillances and
mail covers , review of office files and other sourccs , Adequate
coordination of information from confidential Sources
with 2ctive inves tigation should be Iaintained a + all times For
example , when it is 28 certained through one of thes e sources that
an important meeting is to occur , the nature of the meeting should
be confirmed if possible by independent sources which can furnish
evidence 0f an 2dmis sible charecter, The meeting should be covered
by arrangement for ettendance by confidential informants t0 ob-
tain admissible evidence of the proceedings . The' meetings should
be placed under physical surveillance, licens es of 2utomobiles
perked near the meeting place noted , and 2ttendants identified_
If pos sible and edvisable , photographic surveillances should
be established; Other types of information received from confi-
dential S ources should receive s imilar a+tention in order tha$
verification may b e made and admis sible evidence developed.

1 Confidential Nature of FBI Operations
See Part I, Section page 9, paragraph B of Manual of Rules and
Regulations_
2. Title 28 Section 50.2 of the Code of Federal Regulations_concerning
release of information by personnel of the Department of Justice
relating to Criminal civil proceedings states:
"(a) General- (1) The availability to news media of information in
criminal and civil cases is a matter which has become increasingly a
subject of concern in the administration of justice_ The purpose of
this statement is to formulate specific guidelines for the release of
such information by personnel of the Department of Justice.
"(2) While the release of information for the purpose of influencing a
trial is of course always improper there are valid reasons for making
available to the public information about the administration of the Law
The task of striking a fair balance between the protection of individuals
accused of crime OI involved in civil proceedings with the Government
and public understandings of the problems of controlling crime and
administering government depends largely on the exercise of sound judg-
ment by those responsible for administering the law and by representa-
tives of the press and other media,
"(3) Inasmuch as the Department of Justice has generally fulfilled
its responsibilities with awareness and understanding of the
needs in this area , this statement to a considerable extent
ccepeects
and formalizes the standards to
whicll representatives
of the Department
have adhered in the past. Nonetheless , it Will be helpful in ensuring
uniformity of practice to set forth the following guidelines for aLl
personnel of the Department of Justice.
"(4) Because of the difficulty and importance of the questions
raise, it is felt that some portions of the matters covered by this
statement , such as the authorization to make available Federal con-
viction records and a description of items seized at the time of arrest,
should be the subject of continuing review and consideration by the
Department on the basis of experience and suggestions from those within
and outside the Department .
"(b) Guidelines to criminal actions (1) These guidelines shall
apply to the release of information to news media from the time a
person is the sub ject of a criminal investigation Until any proceeding
resul- from such as investigation has been terminated trial Or
otherwise.
"(2) At no time shall personnel of the Department of Justice furnish
any statement or information for the purpose of influencing the out-
come of a defendant' s trial nor shall personnel of the Department
furnish any statement or
information
3
which could reasonably be expected
to be disseminated by means of public communication if such a statement
or information may reasonably be expected to influence the outcome of
a pending or future trialo
"(3) Personnel of the Department of Justice, subject to specific Limita-
tions imposed by Law Or court rule or order , may make public the follow-
ing information:

"(ii) The substance or text of the charge , such aS a complaint ,

"(iii) The identity of the investigating and/or arresting agency and
the length or scope of an investigation.
"(iv) The circustances immediately surrounding an arrest including
the time and place of arrest, resistance pursuit,

"Disclosures should include incontrovertible

factual matters , and
should not include subjective observations. In addition, where back-
ground information or information relating to the circumstances of an
arrest or investigation would be highly prejudicial or where the release
thereof would serve no law enforcement f unction, such information should
not be made public-
"(4) Personnel of the Department shall volunteer for publication
any information concerning a defendant S prior criminal record, but infor-
mation drawn from Federal conviction records may be made available in
response to a specific request.
"(5). Because of the particular danger of prejudice resulting from
statements in the period approaching and during trial
9
ought
strenuously to be avoided during that periodo such statement or
release shall be made on the infrequent occasion when circumstances
absolutely demand a disclosure of information and shall include only
information which is clearly not prejudicial
"(6) The release of certain types of information generally tends to
create dangers of prejudice without serving a significant law enforce-
ment function. Therefore
9
personnel of the Department should refrain
from making available the following:
"(i) Observations about a defendant' s character
"(ii) Statements , admissions confessions or alibis attributable to a
defendant or the refusal or
failure of the accused to make a statement.
"(iii) Reference to investigative procedures such as fingerprints ,
polygraph examinations , ballistic tests , or laboratory tests or to the
refusal by the defendant to submit to such tests or examinations.
"(iv) Statements concerning the identity, testimony , or credibility of
prospective witnesses_
"(v) Statements concerning evidence or argument in the case, whether
or not it is anticipated that such evidence or argument will be used
at trial,
"(vi) opinion aS to the accused' s guilt _ or the possibility of a
plea of guilty to the offense charged , or the possibility of a plea
to a lesser offense.
"(7) Personnel of the Department of Justice should take no action to
encourage or assist news media in photographing or televising a defend-
ant or accused person being held or transported in Federal cus
Departmental representatives should not make available photographs of a
defendant unless a law enforcement function is served thereby.

there will, of course , be situations in which
it Will limit the release of information which would not be prejudicial
under the particulaf circumstances 0 If a representative of the Depart-

a0 "One-Office" news releases
The vast ma jority of news releases made by field offices are issued
to announce arrests in FBI cases' The provisions of Section 50.2
clearly apply to all of these. If an SAC feels that an exception
to those provisions should be made in any individual case he should
make his viewvs known to the Assistant Directors of (a) the sub-

Exceptions to the instructions provided in Section 50.2 can be
approved only by the Attorney General or the Deputy Attorney General,

SECTION 6 . PUBLICATIONS , PRESS , AND PUBLIC CONTACTS
All news releases made by field offices should be issued over the
nane of the SAC , should be issued to all interested news media
in the field office territory as simultaneously as possible; and
should provide as full an account of the facts as can be disclosed
within the provisions of Section 50.2. In news releases announcing
arrests or other developments attributable to the joint efforts of
the FBI and other law enforcement agencies, appropriate recognition
should, of course, be given to those other agencies-
SACs may authorize other experienced Special Agents including
Resident Agents
7
in their field offices to read or deliver news
releases issued over the SAC' s name to news media after the SAC
has approved those news releases. However those Special Agents
should not expand upon the information in the news and
should answer any inquiry Or request for additional
foueasesrozna -
tion by courteously telling the newsman involved that his inquiry
or request will be brought to the attention of the SAC as quickly
as possible for his consideration and action. The reason for the
policy of referring all such matters to the SAC is to assure both
uniformity and accuracy of any supplemental information that is
provided to news mediao
SACs also may authorize other experienced Special Agents to record F
news releases in compliance with requests of radio and television
stations_ However
3
SACs or ASACs should make live or filmed
television appearances involving the reading of news releases ,
SACs have the option of accepting or declining such time-consuming
requests made by radio and television stations If declined
however , the declinations should be tactfully worded and ained
So as to avoid impression of partiality. If a request is
accepted =
9
the
radio
and/r television station involved should under-
stand that the SAC or the Special Agent designated by the SAC will
merely read the text of the news release and will not answer questions
On occasion SACs also issue news releases or make announcements
dealing with administrative matters such as transfers of the SAC
or ASAC of the field office or presentation of service awards to
personnel of the field office. On such occasions photographs
and biographical sketches of the personnel involved may be made
available to the news mediao However
9
requests to interview these
employees about their official duties and experiences should
tactfully be declined.

SECTTON 6 , PUBLICATIONS PRESS AND PUBLIC CONTACTS
So as to minimize the opportunities for criminal elements to
harass Special Agents and their families, neither photographs nor
biographical sketches of Special Agents should be made available
to news media in connection with news releases announcenents , or
inquiries pertaining to FBI investigations_ The sole exception is
in the case of employees who are killed in line of duty, in Which
instances the release of photographs and biographical data should
be coordinated With the Administrative Division and the External
Affairs Divisiono
ba "Multi-Office" news releases
News releases announcing arrests or other important developments
in wide-ranging investigations often require close coordination
and simultaneous release to the press by two' or more field officeso
The External Affairs Division should be consulted before any such
news release is made , and consideration should be given to the
question of whether a national news release is meritede
C e National news releases
As a general rule , national news releases announcing arrests or other
investigative developments are issued only in exceptional cases
involving (1) prominent persons such as well-known business and
civic leaders , entertainers
9
athietes
9 or officials of local county ,
state_ or Federal Government; (2) persons of national
notorietyu
such as members of the "Ten Most Wanted Fugitives"; (3) persons:
arrested for crimes that have attracted nationwide interest , such
as prevailed in the 1950 robbery of Brink' s Inc. , at Boston
Massachusetts
3
and the 1964 murder of three young civil rights workers
in Neshoba County Mississippi; and (4) persons whose crimes have international ramifications
such as espionage agents or fugitives
who have fled abroad The heads of headquarters and field divisions
shoula assure that the essential facts of a1l such cases $ including
anticipated developments therein are promptly brought to the atten-
tion of the External Affairs Division on a continuing basis.
National news releases generally Will be issued in Washington Da Co F
However , copies will be furnished to all interested field offices So
that the SACs of those offices can make them available to local news
media within minutes of their release in Washington.
SACs . should not expand upon the contents of national news releases
without approval of both the substantive division involved and the
External Affairs Division.

4. News Media Inquiries
There are two categories of news media inquiries. The first involves
routine inquiries received at the field office regarding either investi-
gative or administrative matters. These should be answered by the SAC
Or ASAC thin the guidelines indicated above .
In responding to such inquiries
3
SACs and ASACs should be courteous ,
factual, and as helpful as possible. should
9
however , avoid
answering hypothetical questions or questions that would require then
to express personal opinions on matters of intense local or national
controversy .
The second category involves inquiries from the news media' in emergency F
situations. Often these are received by Special Agents at the scenes
of arrests, gun battles, or other fast-moving developments in investigations
0
Unless undercover assignments or similar overriding circustances dic-
tate otherwise_ Special Agents who are approached by newsmen at the scenes
of fast-moving developments in FBI cases should (a) identify thenselves
as Special Agent of the FBI " (b) furnish the name of the field office
to which are assigned , and (c) state the general nature of the inves-
tigative operations
3
such as "We are here to serve an arrest (or a search)
Warrant." Requests for additional information should be answered by
cour teously referring the newsman to the field office or to the tem-
porary field headquarters if such a temporary field headquarters has
been established in the area&
SACs or ASACs should participate in question-and-answer interviews
with representatives of any news mediun at the scenes of fast-moving
developments in FBI cases In emergency situations however ? Special
Agents can relay reporters' questions to the SAC by telephone or radio;
and the SAC' s responses thereto can be furnished to the reporters in
the SAC' s name by a Special Agent. In other than such emergency situa-
tions Special Agents should courteously refer newsmen to the SAC or ASAC tor
answers to their questions; and Special Agents investigative
responsibilities attendant to such fast-moving developments must take
precedence over questions or inquiries of newsmen.
No FBI employee should knowingly furnish an erroneous, deceptive
9 or
misleading answer to a news media inquiry. In the overwheliing majority
of cases , an unequivocal_ and definitive answer can be given reporters'
questions regarding whether the FBI Or is not , investigating a
specific criminal act as well as the reason we have or have not
instituted investigation. However , in kidnap-for-ransom cases and
related crimes involving a threat against human life
2
neither the fact
that the crime has occurred , nor the fact that the FBI is investigating
it, should be disclosed or "confirmed without the approval of the sub-
stantive investigative division and the External Affairs Divisiono
Due to the sensitivity of many banking-type institutions to publicity
concerning the amount of loot obtained in robberies, burglaries
3
and
larcenies of financial institutions such information should not be
disclosed to news media without the concurrence of the General Investi-
gative Division and the External Affairs Divisiono

AND PULIC CONTACTS
Under no circumstances should any empleyee_ ask or suggest that a news-
man withhold information from the public without the concurrence of the
substentive investigative division and the External Affairs Division.
5, Fugitive Publicity
Newvs releases and other public disclosures designed to solicit public
cooperation in the apprehension of FBI fugitives may contain more facts
about the fugitive' s Criminal background than are permissible in news
releases and announcements regarding arrestso
In publicity regarding FBI fugitives
9
extreme care should be taken to
avoid statements that brand a fugitive as guilty of a crime for which
he has not been convictede Arrest numbers or other data that identify
a photograph as having been made in connection with a past arrest OI
imprisonment should not appear in photographs of fugitives that are
furnished to news mediae
Field offices should coordinate all fugitive publicity with the Special
Investigative Division and the External Affairs Division; and should
not hesitate to consult the External Affairs Division regarding ques-
tions or problems that arise in any area of news media relations.
Liaison With News Media
SACs who consider it necessary or advisable to do so may use: one or
more experienced Special Agents to assist in facilitating prompt and
effective liaison with the news media. Such Agents will not be spokes-
men for their field officeso may furnish information to news
media in the SAC S name after it has been approved by the SAC .
also may assist in preparing news releases as well as responses to
news media inquirieso These Agents should devote no more time to such
news media liaison duties than is absolutely necessary-
It is the intent of these guidelines to facilitate a more open stance
and thereby , a mutually beneficial relationship between FBI and news medla representatives.
SACs _ as well as other employees acting for them
in news media relations should be a5 responsive as practical and pOS-
sible to inquiries and requests made by newsmen. The term "No comment"
should be avoided except when its use is absolutely necessary. If an
SAC does not know the answer to a newsman S question he should have no
hesitancy in stating "I don 't know ," and/or
"depending
upon the nature
of the inquiry, teliing the newsman that he will contact him (the news-
man) as soon as he has information that can be furnished to him.
SACs should avail thenselves of every opportunity to meet and become
well acquainted with leading citizens throughout" their field divisions
including representatives of all important news mediao should seek
to cultivate a personal , as well as an official, relationship with these
individuals to the fullest extent that the demands of other duties make
possibleo]

[Na BUREAU-WIDE INFORMATION PROGRAM REGARDING MATTERS OF NATIONAL INTEREST
This program is coordinated by the External Affairs Division and is devoted
primarily to supplying SACs facts regarding current happenings
9
including
both administrative and investigative developments , that are: topics of
nationwide press coverage and public interest.
All such communications to SACs bear the caption "BUREAU-WIDE INFORMATTON
PROCRAM" and are in the form of either teletypes or airtels, dependent upon
the exigencies of the situationo
The purpose of this program is to assure that each SAC possesses the
facts concerning important happenings anywhere Within the FBI that COmmand
widespread public interest. Information furnished to SACs under this program
should prove helpful to them , as well as to other FBI personnel in answer-
questions
9
correcting misunderstandings , and dispelling false rumors
that may exist either Within or without the ranks of the FBI In sOme
instances , however the information may be Qf such_ a nature that it cannot
be disclosed in whole or in part to outsiders. In fact occasionally it is
necessary to restrict discussion and disclosure of the information even within
FBIHQ and field officeso Guidelines furnished on each communication should
be strictly followed
FBIHQ and field office personnel should promptly bring to the attention of
the External Affairs Division all current items and developments that
feel merit consideration for inclusion under this programg

News releases and other public disclosures designed to solicit public
cooperation in the apprehension of FBI fugitives may contain more facts
about the fugitive? s criminal background than are permissible in news
releases and announcements regarding arrestso
In publicity regarding FB fugitives, extreme care should be taken to
avoid statements that brand a fugitive as guilty of 2 crime for Which
he has not been convictede Arrest numbers or other data that identify
a photograph as having been made in connection With a past arrest or
imprisonment should not appear in photographs of fugitives that are
furnished to news media,
Field offices should coordinate all fugitive publicity with the Special
Investigative Division and the External Affairs Division; and should
not hesitate to consult the External Affairs Division regarding ques~
tions or problems that arise in any area of news media relations

men for their field officeso They may furnish information to news
media in the SAC' s name after it has been approved by the SAC

sible to inquiries and requests made by newsmeno The term "No comment"

SAC does not know the answer to 3 newsman S question he should have no
hesitancy in stating "I don t know ," and/or
3
"depending
upon the nature
of the inquiry ,
teiiing
the newsman that he will contact him the news-
man) aS soon as he has information that can be furnished to himo
SACs should avail themselves of every opportunity to meet and become
well acquainted with leading citizens throughout their field divisions
including representatives of all important news mediae should seek
to cultivate a personal , as well as an official9 relationship with these
individuals to the fullest extent that the demands of other duties make

tional matters. Avoid items of a "newsletter" nature and matters
which have a limited scope of interest in the professiona

could be recommended for use aS a cover for the magazine. The Bureau
wishes to project on the Bulletin' s cover the best image of law en-
foncenent _ Attention-getting photographs showing officers giving aid
to helpless citizens protecting the weak comforting the injured, or

1, Use of students
a, Students under age of 18 .years are not to be developed as security
informants potential security informants, or other types of security
sources in other than highly unusual circumstances - Under such
circumstances furnishcomplete justification to Bureau.
b. Upon initial contact with prospective student informant or source
individual should be tactfully requested to execute a brief signed
Written statement for field file setting forth that this individual
has voluntarily come forward to furnish information to FBI because
of his concern over individuals Or groups that may be inimical to
interests of U, S_ Government and that he understands FBI has no
interest in legitimate institution or campus activities.

[[w. FOREIGN COUNTER INTELLIGENCE (FCI) ASSETS
This subsection deals with the development and operation of human assets ,
a field referred to as Human Intelligence or HUMINT . FCI assets are to
be handled exclusi- under this subsection except for the administra-
tive instructions pertaining to informant indices and mon statistical
letters:_ set out in Part I; such exceptions are noted herein.
1 Definitions
FCI assets fall into two categories: informative assets and operational
assets.
a, Informative assets (IA)
Individuals in tion to furnish continuing information relative
to the location overt activities and personalities of the targets
of FBI investigations e.g. doorman , garage attendant neighbor ,
tradesman , rental agent
'building supefintendent
fellow employee
3 sociai contact, business contact , banker ethnic community
source etc.; or individuals who have
left
or openly defected from
a
forelgn country
can furnish information of intelligence
value. An IA is not actively involved in an intelligence operation
as such; should he become SO involved he then could become an OA _
b_ Operational assets (OA)
Individual actively involved in intelligence operations_
This category includes but is not limited to the following
individuals:
Defector-in-place: A_ foreign official who overtly continues
to work for his government and covertly provides information
to uS of intelligence value A defector-in-place will in
most instances be connected with a foreign government' s
intelligence service;
E Double agent: An OA who is cooperating with a foreign intel-
ligence service on our behalf and under our control;
Asset under development: Individuals selected for their
apparent attractiveness to foreign intelligence services whom
we attempt to in contact with such services for operational
exploitation
1
sometimes known as a "dangle operation"; or
individuals already in contact with a foreign intelligence
service who have an immediate potential for development into
double agents.
Adoption of the generic term OA does not preclude use of the
specific terms e.8. , double agent , where applicable, in official
communications_
2. Objectives of OA
a. Penetration
Penetration of legal and illegal networks
3
identification of
intelligence personnel and targe collection of information
regarding methods of operations; collection of positive intelligence.

f. Collection by OA of personality characteristics data on foreign
officials for purpose of defection analysis.
3, Individuals to be considered as OAs

ligence value An intelligence officer (IO) is of course the
most valuable OA = An official who is not an IO while of iesser
value is still a highly desirable OA because o8 the positive
inteliigence
and information on the personalities and activities
of other officials that he can provide
b, Agents of foreign intelligence services When these individuals
are identified and the prospect and value of recrui them
outweighs any prosecutive potential
3
should be seriously
considered for development a5 OAs
Contacts of foreign officials When contacts of foreign officials
are identified as being of interest to a foreign inteliigence
service we should attempt to enlist their cooperation and direct
them against that intelligence service.
d Individuals who are particularly attractive to a foreign intel-
ligence service_ Our objective is to determine the specific
interests of foreign intelligence services or individual IOs _ and
to then recruit asset(s) who would appear to that service Or IO to
satisfy their needs _ Such assets must have potential for operation
within a reasonably expected period of time.
e Former assets who currently offer potential for exploitation.
4 Restrictions
FBIHQ au Ithority is required prior to conducting detailed background
investigation of any of the following individuals as an FCI asset
whether IA Or OA . Of course some investigation must initi be
conducted without disclosing our interest to sufficiently_identify
the
individual
and generally assess his potential, SO that FBIHQ can
conduct a meaningful indices search and make an intelligent evaluation
of the risks versus value involved -
2. Individual under 21 years of age
ba Official or employee of the United Nations or other public inter-
national organizations of a governmental or quasi-governmental
nature

5 Development of U S. Military Or other U. S. Government Personnel
Whenever it becomes desirable to develop a member of the U. S Military
or an employee of another Government agency as an FCI asset FBIHQ
notifies the respective military service or agency of our interest.
To facilitate this notification the office desiring to develop such an
individual should submit to FBIHQ 5 copies of an LHM setting out:
a, Proposed asset' s name, rank Or position, and current place of
assignment .
ba Area of FBI interest in the asset in general

d. The last paragraph of this LH should read:
"It is requested that no further dissemination of the foregoing
be made without prior reference to FBI Headquarters. If you
agree with our contemplated use of the above individual, please
return a copy of this memorandum with your acknowledgement."
Members of the military: estimated time period within which you
wish to utilize the asset; desirability that the asset remain in
his current area of assignment for a specified period of time_
Upon receipt of clearance from the military, FBIHQ Will select
code name for future use in identifying the asset . This code
name will be furnished to military intelligence component at
headquarters level and to FBI field divisions _ Evefy 6 months
thereafter, as long as the FBI has continuing operational interest
in the asset, an LHM captioned with code name should be transmitted
to by routing slip captioned with informant TS symbol number .
The LHM to contain a statement that the asset continues to be
of operational use to the FBI and a statement detailing any
difficulties encountered in control or direction of the asset or
a statement that no such difficulties exist.
NOTE: Generally the U. Sa Armed Forces may not be utilized to
enforce the
civiiian criminal law; however, may be utilized
for foreign counterintelligence purposes. In foreign counterintel-
ligence investigations in which there is a possibility of criminal
prosecution
3 use of military personnel as assets might jeopardize
successful prosecution, and all such cases must be discussed in
detail with FBIHQ to utilization of such military assets.

6. Development of personnel of foreign diplomatic establishment or
international organization
Whenever it becones desirable to develop an official OI employee of a
foreign diplomatic establishment or government_ or of a public inter-
national organization of 2 governmental or quasi-governmental nature
who is not a national of a hostile e.g. Canadi
Argentinian ,
or U_ S United Nations Secretariat

Department to conduct background investigation. FBIHQ must inform
State Department of the proposed asset' s name , rank or position
3
nation-
ality, current place of assignment and generally, the type of use
we intend to make of the asset_ After authorization has been received
and background investigation completed if individual offers asset
potential
1
submit results of background investigation in LHM and in
cover communication request authority to interview. FBIHQ will then
request authorization from State Department to interview.
7 Development
The development of assets depends on the individual circumstances of
each situation No rigid procedural steps or contact schedules can
be imposed which will uniformly apply to a11 cases; however the
development should proceed with the objective of obtaining valuable
results as quickly as feasible consistent with maintaining the asset' s
security cfedibility, and confidence, and with developing the asset' s potentiai
to its fullest.
8_ Opening of asset files
Open a 134 file for all individuals at the time are first con-
sidered for development as assets. This file should consist of two parts:
a main file which will contain all identifying data results of back-
ground investigation
3
personal status data, and
administrative data;
and a subfile which will contain at least one copy of all information
provided by asset0 The asset is not to be identified, beyond his symbol
number , in subfile.
Maintain files of all active assets as pending. Utilize FD-238 as
unserialized document in main file.
Assignment and tickler cards must not reflect name of asset; use symbol
and/or file number.
9 Maintenance of FCI asset files and indices
Maintain all FCI asset files pending and closed _ under lock and
under personal supervision of SAC , ASAC , or employee designated by SAC .
Files of FCI assets will be included in calculation of delinquencies
in monthly administrative report.
1
FCI asset indices will be maintained according to the administrative
instructions set out under section 107 J, part I, of this manual-

10. Symbol numbers
Assign a symbol number to all individuals when first considered for
development as asset. The . symbol number is to consist of two-letter
prefix identifying the office, a numerical sequence number (which
will never be reassigned to another asset Or informant) and suffix
which describes the type of asset, e.g' , NY 1001-OA (or IA). The
numerical sequence is to be the same as that used for all other
informants e.g. potential security informant , security informant ,
criminal informant , etc. The suffix may change if the nature of the
information provided changes, e.g. from IA to OA= Submit identity
of asset and" symbol number to FBIHQ via coded "Nitel"; this
is the communication ever in which both asset's true name and
symbol number are to appear together. Assets must not be informed
of their symbol numbers _
11. Captions
In administrative communications dealing solely with asset indicate
in caption the character and the country concerning which the asset
is reporting e.g. NY 1001-O4, IS-R (Russia).
12. Background inquiries and interviews
a, Informative asset
Based on the type of information the IA can provide_ the nature
and extent of contact with and the IA' s relationship with
the target:
(1) Conduct sufficient background investigation to satisfy the
SAC as to the IA's stability, suitability reliabili an
potential_ For example , a more detailed background investi-
gation is required for a social or business contact than for
a doorman or building superintendent: A minimal background
investigation should include appropriate police and field
offices indices checks _
(2) Request search of FBIHQ indices.
(3) Check NCIC _
(4) Submit FD-165 for search of FBIHQ identification records;
make no reference to individual as IA on FD-165 . Also utilize
FD-165 to place stop=
(5) Outside of the restrictions set out in 4. above , interview
IA prospect on SAC authority.
ba Operational asset
When an individual appears to have OA potential conduct the fol-
lowing background investigation commensurate with OA S security:
(1) Obtain pertinent data on OA S personal history (date and
place of birth, nationality and citizenship, social Gmesio}
number or other identifying numbers, family status names
immediate family. past and present residences, emp_ etc.) ,
and other data such as physical description patriotism_ health ,
reli= ability, stability, integrity, reputation, and business
connections
(2) Check appropriate police and field offices' indices.
(3) Request search of FBIHQ indices.

Leads must be covered within 45 days; office of origin notify
auxiliary offices of this time limit when setting out Leads_
13. Authority to operate assets
IAs are approved and operated on SAC authority- Inform FBIHQ via
coded "Nitel" when SAC approval given and type of information IA
can provide_ OAs are approved and operated on FBIHQ authority
After interview of OA submit results of interview via coded "Nitel"
requesting FBIHQ approval to operate. Detail OA ' s potential and
contemplated use of OA =
In exceptional cases when the results of the interview and details
of the OA' s
potentiai
and contemplated use are voluminous the practi- 2
cality of "Nitel" and the relative security of the mails should be 5
balanced against the sensitivity of the information and the security
of the asset Where the former factors prevail, submit summary by
"Nitel" and full results and details by letter or airtel.
14. Contact with assets
Contact should be maintained commensurate with maximum productivity,
security and development of asset' s further potential_ If an asset
has not been contacted for a period of 45 days _ a menorandum, to the
SAC must be directed to the asset S main file stating the reason(s)
no contact was made -
Do not disclose to asset any information not essential to his operation_
15. Confidentiality of relationship
Emphasize to all assets that the effectiveness of the FBI ' s investi-
gation and in some instances his own personal security depend on
both sides maintaining the confidentiality of the
felatlonship.
If the
asset feels he must disclose this relationship to another, eog-, wife,
parent employer etc. or circumstances develop in which asset requests
FBI to disclose the
reiationship
to another e.g to an employer
F
threatening dismissal of asset because of
his afflliation
with certain
individuals or groups , notify FBIHQ with recommendation to disclose
relationship and continue under these conditions or to terminate

16. Reliability of assets
Reliability of a1l assets must be constantly checked _ If any doubt
exists conce rning asset give consideration to use of various inves-
tigative techniques to insure asset is completely reliable and is
furnishing accurate information.
17, Assignment of pseudonyms
In sensitive cases , where necessary; if asset will reports or
receipts; or if asset is an OA recei- operational funds from a
foreign intelligence service or payment from the U. S which requires
bookkeeping records assign pseudonym for these purposes.
18_ Recording of information received from asset
When recording information from any asset in a communication prepared
for dissemination characterize the asset either as one "with whom
contact has been insufficient to determine reliability,' TI Or as one
"who has furnished reliable information in the past."
a Oral information
(1) Information pertaining to asset' s personal status is recorded
in 134 main file
1 e.g. 3
marital difficulties, change of
employnent change of residence _
(2) Information pertaining to operational administrative matters
is recorded in asset' s 134 subfile. When this data e.g.
location of meet sites times of meets any data
which
tends
to identify asset, is furnished to FBIHQ, it should not be
included in communications prepared for dissemination_ but
in cover pages: When the asset is a member of the miiitary ,
submit in addition to the communication for dissemination
described immediately above a communication for dissemination
containing all operational administrative details for the
information of the asset' s service.
(3) Information of intelligence value should be submitted to FBIHQ
via appropriate communication, and, if of interest to other
U. S_ agencies Or friendly foreign services should be sub-
mitted to FBIHQ in form suitable for
dissemination_
(4) Execute and maintain form FD-209 in asset's main file concern-
ing contacts with asset. If contacts produced information of
intelligence value, record date of contacts; if negative,
record as such.
ba Written information
(1) Written information prepared by asset , OI by FBI SA for
signature of asset, pertaining to operational activities
(not 2 written report passed by asset to his principal)
must be dated at the of page one and signed at the bottom
of each nunbered page by the asset using his pseudonym. This
material may be maintained as an attachment to a serialized
memorandum in the asset' s subfile (punched holes are alloowed) ,
or in a la section of the asset' s 134 subfile_
(2) Information received in this manner should be devoid of FBI
identification block or time stamps

19. Channelization of information of intelligence value received from the
asset
Important factor in channelizing information of intelligence value
received from the asset to substantive case files is the security of
the asset _
Limit information in communication sent to substantive file to
that necessary for that case; i.e:, do not send one comprehensive
communication to several substantive files if to do so might compromise
source Or other individual (Be aware that some of our documents are
being made available in response to subpoenas and the court is some-
times not allowing excision of material not pertinent to case in
question Consequently, other individuals or operations can be "blown"
by revealing one such comprehensive meno )
a, Extract information of value received from asset and channelize to
substantive case files either inter- or intra-office by separate
communications under substantive case captions _
b. A copy of all channelizing communications must be maintained in an
asset S subfile.
20. Passage of docuents, Written report or oral information, to hostile
foreign intelligence
Type of information to be passed depends on circumstances of particular
operation interests of involved fofeign intelligence service, the
credible access of the OA and the time element involved _
Great care should be given to the selection of information to be passed
to insure the operation accrues to the overall benefit of the U. S.

23. Disinformation
The passage of deceptive information by an OA is a complex operation
which requires detailed planning and coordination between field office
and FBIHQ . This technique should be employed only in OA operations
in Which the foreign intelligence service has apparently accepted the
bona fides of the OA , when the benefit will cleafly outweigh the risk
to the overall OA operationa
24 . OA cover story
Be aware that a
foreign intelligence Principal may interrogate an QA
in great detail as to how he secured his information his f amily
situation his modus operandi motivation etc. Handling FBI SA must
adequately prepare an OA for this
probabiiity.
The most credible
cover story is the one which involves the least fabrication.
Unless security or other considerations dictate 0 therwise, the OA
should personally obtain the information he passes .

Impress upon each OA that money or property received from a foreign
intelligence Principal or agent must be turned over to the FBI since
retention of this money would the OA in technical violation of
Federal statutes and this money may be used as evidence Or exhibit.
Compensation to the O4 from the FBI for his cooperation is to be
handled separately: Nominal or personal gifts necessary for the OA' s
security and to maintain his relationship with the principal may be
given back to the OA by his handling FBI SA following FBIHQ approval_
Consider the desirability and feasibility o} obtaining
a signed state-
ment from each OA reflecting his understanding of this requirement .
The obtaining of such a statement is not mandatory, but desirable.
Department attorneys have advised that while it is not necessary to
preserve that actual currency received by an OA , it is highly desirable
to do SO in cases in which prosecution could ensue. Whether Or not the
actual currency is retained obtain a written statement from the OA
describing the currency received by[type of note and issuing Federal
Reserve Bank , ]denomination
J
series number and serial number; and
also make an independent record of such currency.
The above instructions are not to be interpreted to require the im-
pounding of funds paid to an OA by a foreign government or foreign
intelligence service for goods or services rendered by the OA in
legitimate business transactions_

a0 When deemed necessary and expedient
> each SAC is authorized to
expend up to $400 to develop FCI assets. This money may be used
to pay for services and/or expenses. This authority is renewable

23. Disinformation
The passage of deceptive information an OA is a complex operation
which requires detailed planning and coordination between field office
and FBIHQ . This technique should be employed in OA operations
in which the foreign intelligence service_ has apparently accepted the
bona fides of the OA , when the benefit will clearly outweigh the risk
to the overall OA operation.
24. OA cover story
Be aware that a foreign intelligence Principal may interrogate an OA
in great detail as to how he secured his information his family
situation
2
his modus operandi motivation etc. Handling FBI SA must
adequately prepare an OA for this
probability. The most credible
cover story is the one which involves the least fabrication.
Unless security or other considerations dictate otherwise, the OA
should personally obtain the information he passes.
25 _ Receipt of money or property by OA
Impress upon each OA that money or property received a foreign
intelligence Principal or agent must be turned over to the FBI since

Federal statutes and this money may be used as evidence or exhibit.

SECTION 107 INTERNAL SECURITY INFORMANTS AND CONFIDENTIAL SOURCES; 107w
AND FOREIGN COUNTERINTELLIGENCE ASSETS
"SECRET L NO FOREIGN DISSEMINATION"
230 Disinformation
The passage of deceptive information by an OA is a complex operation
which requires detailed planning and coordination between field office
and FBIHQ. This technique should be employed in OA operations
in which the foreign intelligence service has apparently accepted the
bona fides of the OA, when the benefit will clearly outweigh the risk
to the overall OA operation.
24 . OA cover story
Be aware that a foreign intelligence Principal may interrogate an OA
in great detail as to how he secured his information his f amily
situation, his modus operandi motivation etc. Handling FBI SA must
adequately prepare an OA for this
probability.
The most credible
cover story is the one which involves the least fabrication.
Unless security or other considerations dictate otherwise, the OA
should personally obtain the information he passes
25. Receipt of money or property by OA
Impress upon each OA that money or property received from a foreign
intelligence Principal or agent must be turned over to the FBI since
retention of this money would put the OA in technical violation of
Federal statutes and this money may be used aS evidence or exhibit.
Compensation to the OA the FBI for his cooperation is to be
handled separately: Nominal or personal gifts necessary for the OA' s
security and to maintain his relationship with the principal, may be
given back to the OA by his handling FBI SA following FBIHQ approval_
Consider the desirability and feasibility o} obtaining
a signed state-
ment from each OA reflecting his understanding of this requirement.
The obtaining of such a statement is not mandatory, but desirable.
Department attorneys have advised that while it is not necessary to
preserve that actual currency received by an OA , it is highly desirable
to do SO in cases in which prosecution could ensue Whether or not the
actual currency is retained obtain a written statement from the OA
describing the' currency received by of note and issuing Federal
Reserve Bank, ]denomination, series number and serial number; and
also make an independent record of such currency.
The above instructions are not to be interpreted to require the im-
pounding of funds to an OA by a foreign government or foreign
intelligence service for goods or services rendered by the OA in
legitimate business transactions
26 . Payments to FCI assets 4 either OA or IA
a0 When deemed necessary and expedient_ each SAC is authorized to
expend up to S400 to develop FCI assets. This money may be
to pay for services and/or expenses. This authority is renewable
by FBIHQ if the initial $400 has been expended - Blue slip re-
claiming payments from FBIHQ need not summarize information
obtained since proliferation of this information could possibly
jeopardize asset' s security.

"SECRET J NO FOREIGN DISSEMINATION"
b. FBIHQ authority
(1) If FCI asset is of such continuing value to justify regular
payments such payments must be approved by FBIHQ-
(2) When initially requesting regular payment submit evaluation
via coded "Nitel" in the following order:
(a) Amount to date, broken down into expenses and
services
(b) Number of contacts with handling FBI SA since last
evaluation
(c) Evaluation of stability and reliability
(d) Concise summary of most valuable information furnished
since last evaluation
(e) Miscellaneous La changes in personal status, residence
employment personal problems etc., since last evaluation
(f) SAC recommendations for authority to pay asset for next
six-month period; specify amount to be authorized for
services and amount for expenses
(3) Continuation request should be made two weeks ir advance of
expiration of authority.
(4) Submit an interim request for increase in regular payments
authorized via coded "Ni " with full justification.
C Receipts
When. payments are made either on SAC authority or FBIHQ authority,
obtain receipts whenever possible: If receipt cannot be obtained
set forth circumstances on blue slip at time reimbursement is claimed .
(1) Receipts should be self-sufficient So that, if it becomes
necessary to introduce receipts in evidence, will not
relate to other documents or files.
(2) Receipts should show:
(a) Date when payment was made
(b) Period for which made when asset is on period basis
(c_ Total amount broken down into separate amounts for
services and expenses
(d) Name of FBI SA making payment
(e) Signature of asset recei money using pseudonym assigned
(3) Receipts are not to be witnessed.
4) If necessary to make corrections on receipts , must be
initialed by asset and not by FBI SA_
(5) When transmitting receipts and itemized statements of expenses
to FBIHQ, staple then directly to blue slip So that all infor-
ma tion on receipt can be read without detaching it from blue
slip.
27 . Evaluation of FCI assets
a, OA
Whether OA is (under either FBIHQ or SAC authority) Or unpaid
submit coded "Nitel" six months evaluating OA according to the
format of 26 . ba (2) .
eEety_
the OA is.unpaid,
3
submit six-month eval-
uation and for continued utilization, if appropriate, on
UACB basis.
jeguesh
If the OA has been during the preceding six-
month period, merely set the amount during that period
(under 26 . be (2) (a))
