which requested review , assessment and
recommendations pertaining to the contents of pages extracted
from a 693-page CIA document in order to fully identify the

compromised .
Section CI-3 conducted the following review and
makes the assessment pertinent thereto:
RE: Page 00026 "Siesta" and pages 00059-61, captioned
TSubject: General: Office Of Security Survey
This matter concerns Orlando Nunez-Toro
(Bufile 105-141367) _ a United States citizen of Cuban
extraction, who was suspected by CIA of attempting to
recruit for intelligence purposes CIA personnel one
Miss Deborah Fitzgerald_ By letter dated 874/70 , the
first communication to the FBI by CIA relating to Toro-
Nunez and Fitzgerald, the FBI was requested to advise
whether it interposed any objections to CIA investigative
action CIA deemed necessary to explore questions raised
by the association of and Fitzgerald with CIA
employees . ( s
"EzeioiozoREcG
-11
In response to that inquiry, FBIHQ advised CiA
by letter dated 8/14/70 , that the FBI interposed no objection
to CIA investigation for such a purpose At the same time,

information develened relating to FBI internal security

Memo to Mr _ W_ R_ Wannall
Re: Senstudy 75
62-116395
CIA communicated with FBIHQ by letters dated
7/6/71 and 2/24/72 concerning the Nunez-Toro and
Deborah Fitzgerald matter requesting each time records
review of Bureau files of numerous individuals of interest
to CIA On each occasion CIA was provided with the results
of such checks However by letter dated 3/2/72 , FBIHQ
responded to CIA letter dated 2/24/72 , by stating "We have
made a study of our file concerning this matter (Nunez-Toro
and Fitzgerald) and a detailed review of the referenced
ma terial At the present time, it appears the paramount
concern is whether Nunez and Deborah Jane Fitzgerald are
obtaining intelligence information concerning your Agency,
and you have established a network of sources to cover that
aspect_ As you indicate_ there is no specific evidence
that Nunez or Fitzgerald has any connection with a hostile
in telligence service or a foreign government therefore
will defer to your Agency until completion of your investigation
or the development of information showing they are engaged
in subversive activities within our primary jurisdiction _ #i (s
The FBI did not conduct an internal security-type
investigation regarding the relationship of Nunez-Toro and
Fitzgerald_ The FBI did conduct an internal security_type
investigation of Nunez-Toro in 1965 as a result 0f his
reported disaffection for the United States while living
abroad. We reopened that investigation in 1969 when it was
reported that Nunez-Toro communicated with the Cuban Embassy ,
Ottawa Canada That investigation was closed when it was
established his"family desired to return to Cuba and his
contact was in that regard? ()
revealed
A review of FBIHQ files contain no information
that any FBI employee was knowledgeable, before or after
the fact_
2
of a surreptitious entry on the part of CIA
personnel , into the premises of Nunez-Toro and Deborah
Fitzgerald_ That surreptitious entry by CIA personnel into
the premises of Nunez-Toro and Fitzgerald located in
Fairfax, Virginia , received considerable publicity recently ,
when it was alleged that Fairfax police assisted the CIA
during the entry

ASSESSMENT:
The above information refers to our special
coverage of the Chilean Embassy which was discontinued
in February 1973
9
and has not been operational since that
time . Possession of such information by the Senate
Committee (
will not interfere with any on-going FBI investigation
A11 activities engaged in by the FBI in connection with
this project were conducted on the instruction of Attorney
General Mitchell
RE: Page 00361 captioned "Memorandum for: Executive_Secretary
CIA Management Committee.
In addition to the "Chilean Project, 11 the contents
of this page also refer to FBI technical coverage of diplomatic
establishments of Israel. It is pointed out that Watergate
Defendant James McCord telephoned the Embassy of Israel,
Washington, D_ C after his arrest, believing that his
conversation would be overheard and he would be able to
challenge tainted evidence The date of his telephone call
to the Embassy of Israel is not known but it is pointed out
that our technical coverage of the Embassy of Israel was
discontinued on
10/16/72 , at the specific request of Secretary
of State William Rogers _ This matter is also public knowledge _
ASSESSMENT:
No compromise of FBI operations
RE: Pages 00457 and 00458

concerning Item Number 3
According to CIA, this matter involved surreptitious
entries by CIA into a French diplomatic establishment
Washington , D C .

On 7/25/75 at the request of Special Counses for
Intelligence Coordinator Michael Shaheen in the Department
a
meeting was held between representatives of the FBI (SAs
Paul B/ and John Thomas) representatives of the Senate
SelecE Comittee (John T_ Elliff Task Force head of the Domestic
Task Force Mark Gitenstein) and Michael Shaheen of the Department
At this meeting Mr Shaheen advised that the proposed procedures
concerning the handlings of requests for documents by the Senate
Select 'Committee had been approved by the Attorney General and in
the Senate Select Committee (A copy is attached.)
Shaheen and Elliff indicated the purpose in meeting on
the 25th along with an anticipated meeting On
Monday
9
7/28/75 was
to assist the SSC in the planning of a superseding request in
accordance with the newly established 'Eiocedereresoedecoce
document requests Both 'Shaheen and expressed concern at
this time that the schedules set 'forth in the new agreement was
such that in many instances the Bureau would not be able to
respond in time to meet 'the deadlines Additionally Shaheen
expressed concern that the provisions require that the Attorney
General adjudicate any question as to the necessity Of furnishing
a document to the Comittee and to make such a decision within 24
hours would be very burdensome
Messrs _ Elliff and Shaheen were advised by SA Daly that
this would be true pointing out that in many instances' files are
not readily available because of: FOIA requests needs of the
Bureau S ongoing investigations 'and law suits in which it was
necessary to view particular files It was also pointed out that
many of the requests of the Senate Select 'Comittee necessitate
the review Of a number 0f files and/or numerous_ volumes 0f a
particular file al1 of which are not necessarily available
imme= diately Mr Shaheen advised that "it was the Attorney
General S desire that Senate Select Comittee requests take
precedence over al1 other matters including the: Freedom of In-
formation It was pointed out to Mr Shaheen that our responses
to Freedom of Information Act are under_deadline by law 'and; if

RE : SENSTUDY 1975
this were to be the Attorney General's feelings he should
advise this Bureau in writing so that we would be in a
position to use this statement of policy should this
question arise during litigation_ It was
pointed out that
in many areas of possible abuse set_forth by the Senate
Select Comittee we have pending FOIA requests and/or
litigation which require the availability of those files
for responses
Elliff indicated that it was the Comittee s. desire
in their forthcoming superseding request to request material
that had been previously furnished the Comittee with the under-
standing that there would be less excisions' made in compliance
with the new agreement He inquired as to whether the Bureau
could advise him as to what material previously furnished was
readily retrievable and could be furnished in accordance with

not possible at this tine to give him a response, however we would
endeavor to make an analysis of prior requests to obtain this in-
formation and have it available for the meeting Monday, 7/28/75
A general discussion was
had concerning the new agree-
ment especially concerning the type of material which might
properly be excised and third agency problems It wasgenerally
agreed upon that not only the identity of informants be excised
but als0 information which might disclose_ Ihe zdentity of infor-
mants might also be ProperTy excised. Elliff indicated that the
Comittee did not wish to see many items referred to the Attorney
General as is called for by the agreement for his decision and
would rather at least on a preliminary basis where it was a
question of the propriety Of the excision that the discussion
be held with 187 or one of his_representatives before such a
referral was made Shaheen also indicated a desire that the
referrals to the Attorney General be kept to a minimum Regard-
ing the "Third Agency" problems which are not addressed in the
agreement there was no final decision arrived at Elliff and
Shaheen were under the impression that the clauses referring
to foreign intelligence operations
or
foreign intelligence
sources would handle this problem_ They were advised that
this was not the case This was not true since even in
these instances Senators On the Comittee are given access
after the Attorney General has made a determination that
Mi material involved 'pecularily sensitive foreign intelli-
gence sources or pecularily sensitive ongoing foreign

would require that many: documents be referred to the

contrary to Messrs Elliff S and Shaheen s. 'desires
The meeting was held 7/28/75 Messrs Gitenstein and

Of the" 'Department , and SAs: Paul: V Seymor Phillips and Elmer
Larson were in attendance Regarding the "Third Agency" rule
problem, we advised the Department and the Coimitiee that we
would' continue to abide by this rule The Comittee presented
a request dated 28 1975 captioned Ti Superseding Request
for FBI Materials This document :amounted to a
of_prior requests made by the Committee with a

for the production 'of documents: An item-by-item analysis 'Of the

obvious the intent `of the 'Comittee in" making the 'superseding
request was to have more documents made available in the Comit-

were requested by Shaheen to prepare as soon as: possible cor-
respondence to the Attorney General setting forth instances where
the deadlines set by the 'Committee could not be made This prompted

Memorandum Burns to Walsh
Re: Senate Select Committee
It should also be noted that certain Manual changes are being
recommended in connection with Section 12, in relation to absences for
maternity purposes _ In Section 12, page 10, we are recommending that
the phrase "absence for maternity reasons" be used in all instances where
we have previously used the phrase "maternity leave _ 11 These recommended
revisions have already been approved and are being processed. In
Section 12, page 8, we are recom mending a revision indicating that
employees resigning for maternity purposes can utilize accrued sick leave
during their period of incapacitation and are not setting out specific time
elements as previously utilized: Memorandum is attached recommending
this change.
RECOMMENDATION:
That this memorandum be furnished to Intelligence Division;
with three copies to Legal Counsel Division, setting forth that the
Administrative Division has no objection to the material set out in
Sections 10 and 12, including proposed revisions, of the Manual of Rules

Director Sec'y
Memorandum outlines problem area with respect to
confidentiality of FBI sources which we have encountered in
the Senate Select Committee (SSC) investigation.
In their investigation of COINTELPRO , SSC has been
given access to material from which we excised informants
and potential informants as defined in Manual of Instructions_
When such material was requested for delivery, we have excised
identities of all individuals to whon we have incurred an
obligation to protect their identity &nd relationship with the
FBI SSC has objected to these more extensive excisions in
delivered material, claiming the agreed-upon procedures do
not allow us such latitude_ This was not our
understanding
of the agreement
As a result of this impasse, on
morning of 8/8/75
3
the Director and other FBI representatives met with the
Attorney General (AG) and the Deputy Attorney General (DAG)
in an attempt to resolve the question_ The AG deferred a
decision at that time pending the receipt of certain requested
information concerning the general COINTELPRO operation_ Later
that date, Mr John Elliff, contacted SAs William 0_ Cregar
land Elmer W . Larson of the Senstudy Project, INTD , and stated
the DAG had suggested he attempt to get together with Bureau
representatives and reach some sort of compromise
accommodation in this area REC-56

who had cooperated with the FBI in the COINTELPRO operations_
9
be interviewed by SSC Representatives SO that a more accurate
picture could be obtained eoncerning possible harm to
COINTELPRO targets He indicated there was a deadline set
for completion of COINTELPRO phase .of SSC investigation and
time did not allow for extensive interviews; however he
estimated that given
no deadline a maximum of 36 such contacts
would be made and; in view of the deadline, 8 to 12 interviews
of the type indicated to be more realistic_ Mr _ Elliff isolated
three cases which he suggested might most easily lend thenselves
to a compromise on this point &d suggested be considered
by the Bureau_ If the Bureau saw fit to agree in these
instances, he suggested further deliberations be made to
select further cases in which the cooperative sources identities
could be made available to the SSC
SAs Cregar and Larson emphasized to Elliff that the
principle involved here was not whether or not the cooperative
source was of great and current Value to the FBI but that the
issue was the_EBL's_obLigation to_the source to_protect the
confidentiality ef the zelationship; While professing to
acknowledge the validity of the Bureau position in this regard,
Elliff
9
nonetheless
3
was adamant in his standing that the SSC
be allowed to contact these sources without the FBI first
contacting them to ascertain their amenability to such interview .
It was stressed to Elliff that prior contact of these sources
by the FBI would be mutually advantageous since it would
satisfy FBI obligation to the source and, if the source then
agreed to interview, would provide the SSC with a
forth-coming
cooperative witness. Finally, after much discussion, Elliff
suggested that the three cases presented by him be approved and
following this he would be willing to consider negotiation
concerning further disclosures of identifies of sources based
on
FBI proposal of prior contact_ The three cases proposed by
Elliff are
briefly set out below :

Memorandum to Mr _ W. R. Wannall
Re : Senstudy 75
62-116395
1 In 1969
9 an Assistant State Attorney General,
an established source of the Albuquerque Office, requested
public
source information concerning
an individual in
New Mexico who was a
candidate for appointment to a
pollution
commission We were able to furnish such information reflecting
the subject' s affiliation with the Students for a
Democratic
Society. SSC indicated desire to interview our source
2 _ In 1966, we furnished information to a California
State Alcohol Beverage Control Commission agent that liquor
was to be sold at a
political fund-raising party . SSC desires
to interview this source
3 _ In 1968 , the editor 0f 2 Tucson, Arizona ,
newspaper contacted our resident agency in Tucson and requested
pertinent background data concerning some of the activists in
various anti-draft, anti-Vietnam and similar groups in the
Tucson area who had been receiving considerable publicity of
late Authority was granted to furnish public source data to
the newspaper man _ SSC now wishes to identify this contact
interview him.
On 8/12/75; the Director was advised of the proposal
by Mr Elliff_ The Director indicated he desired to adhere to
the current policy of not divulging identity of
sources with
whom the FBI has a
confidential relationship; however
2
he
extended an invitation for Mr Elliff to meet with him on
8/18/75 at 4:00 P.m
9
for further discussion of this is sue
During the morning of 8/12/75 , the Director S position and
invitation was conveyed to Mr Elliff by SA Cregar Shortly
thereafter

Mr Elliff called back to advise that he appreciated
the invitation but that in his view-the meeting would merely

by making
4 vritten request for access to it. The criminal
portions removed are attached to the tickler copies of this
memorandum designated for Messrs_ Cleveland and Gallagher
9
as relate to matters within their Divisions purview
It has been our experience that the SSC generally does request
to see or obtain material not furnished during responses to
an initial request _ Therefore, it would be prudent for
representatives of the General and Special Investigative
Divisions at this time, review the material attached to
Messrs cieveland and Gallagher
S ticklers and make a_
determination as to whether any excisions must be made before
review by the SSC Staff should Same be requested_ Generally ,
under current ground rules
9
only material which would identify
sensitive sources including cooperative foreign agencies
or violate the Third Agency Rule, may be excised _ Inquiries
regarding current ground rules may be made by the Senstudy
representatives of the General and Special Investigative
Divisions of Supervisor J_ P Thomas

PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT
1 The overall objectives of the criminal informant program
are to develop high quality informants who are in a
position to furnish valuable information On 2
continuing
basis.
Criminal desk supervisors participate in the program by
rem aining alert to the necessity Of having good informant
coverage in the criminal classifications which are covered
by their respective desks The supervisor is also
required to approve any expenditure made to an informant

progress Of the progr am as it relates to their de ;k.
The supervisors also follow the Agents activitie 3 in
this regard On an individual basis to insure that 'they
are fully participating in the informant progr am.
2_ The San Francisco Office does have standards which
requires all Agents assigned one year Or more to this
division shou ld conform to and that is they shoula have
a mininum of four PCIs or one CI and two PCIs or two
CIs assigned at any one time. This , of course, is by
no means considered a maximum and many Agents
participate more
fully in the program.
There are currently no first office agents assigned to
this division and when an Agent is transferred to this
division and assigned to criminal work he is expected
to sho some progress by the end of sixty days and
within one year he is expected to be in cQpliance
with the above standards_

Eiie
has been forwarded
to you for inclusion in the respective file
Xour office is currently operating 145 CIs as
compared to 141 CIs being operated at the time of the last

under development at this time to 271 as opposed to 250 under
development &uring tha Zast inspectior These figures do not
include Top Echelon informants or targets for deveLopment
which are commented on separately under the Criminal Intelligence
Program _ This represents a slight increase in the nuber of
'CIs and a more substantial increase in the number Of PCIs
under development_ However, there is a slight decrease in
two large metropolitan areas namely , San Francisco and Oakland ,
ghich though sllght represents a static situation a5 to
increasing coverage in these areas The Oakland Resident
Agency has also recorded a decrease in the nuber Of PCIs
,under" developnent_ In analyzing the coverage in the resident
agencies it was noted that Monterey, Richmond and San Jose
have the same coverage from CIs as during the last inspection
although Monterey and San Jose have shown a substantial
increase in the nuber of PCIs being handled _ PCIs under
development in Salinas and San Rafael are down somewhat,
although this too in part is off-set by the increase in the
number of CIs being operated. In view of the Bureau S
increased responsibilities it is absolutely essential that
a strong criminal informant program be maintained and in
fact expanded if the Bureau is to meet these increased
responsibilities _

ACCOMPLISHMENTS
According to Bureau records your office shOws
increases in 4 0f the 8 statistical accomplishments
attributable to informants and it is noted that these

Section 108 I-12 , Volume 4 , Manual of Instructions , which
states informants should be developed on Government
reservations and military installations when warranted . In
view of the large installations located within Your territory,
it is suggested You
identify particular areas of these
installations wherein informant coverage would be logical
and productive and give consideration to pinpointing such areas
for development.
You have also indicated that Supervisors approve
payments to informants and in this way are also aware of the
productivity of the informant program. However it is noted
that approval of payments provides a rather limited
assessment of the productivity of informants and points out
the neea for a continuing evaluation of respective covcrage_
Supervisors niust constantly be alert to identify specific
areas in which informant coverage would be logical and
productive.
OBSERVATIONS" AND RECQMMENDATIONS
You Should give consideration to the development
of infornants on Government reservations and military
'nstallations as suggested the Manual of Instructions .
In a number of instances it was noted there was
no follow-up on incomplete information furnished by informants .
In such instances the informant was not recontacted any
sooner than required.by the 30 contact rule, which woula
indicate a lack of direction of the informant to further
develop information of interest. The need to informants
direction to develop information to the point it can be
considered useful ana valuable should be brought to the
attention of all appropriate investigative personnel_
There were few instances noted during review of
the CI files wherein FD-302 's had been utilized in recording
informant information It is recognized that much information
regarding fugitives and possible suspects does not require

you should make certain all personnel

iview
to the qualification of them as
approved Crininal Informants In the past year since I
last had an approvea Crininal Infornant I have handled
several PCIs including one who previously was
the prime
factor in the apprehension of a Bureau fugitive wanted
for the nurder of a
police officer This PCI has since
furnished information of value which was relayed to the
local police in a burglary case He has been given the
assignment to develop further information concerning local
suspects in the handling of stolen merchandise from this
and other burglaries _
In the past year I have been unable
to devote a great deal of time to the development of this
and other PCIs due to having been utilized as Relief
Supervisor in the absence of the regular supervisor and
because of the time necessary to prepare ana presenti ieeiures
at police schools on legal matters
I am aware of the importance of the
Criminal Informant Program and will continue efforts to
develop a qualified Crininal Informant and expect to
qualify the above-mentioned PCI in the very near future

small numbers betting
with a weekly drawing take place usually in the Spanish-
speaking communities_ There are also legal and illegal
card games operating usually in lOw-income commercial
neighborhoods _ Gamb in the division is conductea by
individual operators who are indepenaent Of each other
except for layoff purposes with respect to bookmaking and
there are no indications of hoodlum control over any of
these activities_
3 _ Concerning the extent of gambling in this
division; bookmakers ECKSTEIN and LEAHY named in Paraqraph
1 above operate in the following
manner Botix Ge int
daily contact with their accounts located in the Bay area
which include other bookmakers for layoff purposes , split
bookmakers , and numerous individual bettors.
Bets are
placed with these operations generally
at locations to which the general public has access , such
as bars restaurants coffee shops and other small shops .
The "1 action " received at these business locations are in
turn called in to a phone spot operated by a bookmaker who
has a gambling relationship with the operator of the
business.
ECKSTEIN normally operates with six employees,
including two phone men , a bookkeeper, a pay & collect man ,
and two runners. In addition, he utilizes several split
bookmakers as employees_ The principal bookmakers and
t bookmakers involved in the ECKSTEIN bookmaking
operations are THEODORE CHALMIS _

ALBERT DiGERONIMO , ELBERT
HEDRICK , MANNY PRONGOS and ALBERT CARLSON _ ECKSTEIN S
monthly handle based on informant data , evidence seized by
the San Francisco Police Department during recent bookmaking
raids_ and interviews Of bettors is estimated to be approxi-
I mately s50,000 for horse bets. His sports "action varies

LEAHY S
operation normally consists of a separate
phone man for horse racing action and sports bets _ at least
two pay & collect men , and several runners operating in the
vicinity Of three San Francisco bars in Which LEAHY
reportedly has a hidden interest. The persons believed
to be associated with LEAHY as bookmakers and/or t
bookmakers are ROBERT MAGIDSON

ATTILIO SPAGNUOLA

VICTOR
FORNER , KENNETH ZAHND , MORRIS COOPER , and ALBERT CARLSON _
With respect to LEAHY ' s handle it is to be notea
that a review Of records seized at the time of his arrest
or 8/4/70 discloses a
daily handle for horse action in the
approximate amount of 82,000 or approximately $50,000 per
month - Data regarding LEAHY' s sports handle is incomplete
bit {+ is estinztzz tkzt thic hardle ie comparable to that
of ECKSTEIN
Based on a review of available gambling records
seized by local authorities on lessor local bookmakers ,
it is estimated that have a mon thly handle of approxi-
mately' $25,000 each. Investigation, including contacts
with informants and local authorities, indicates there are
approximately 20-30 lessor bookmakers operating in the
San Francisco Division on any given Accordingly , it
would appear that the monthly handle for the San Francisco
Division is in the approximate amount of one million dollars.
4 _ Sports line is formed by local bookmakers who
receive an
early opinion line from sports services locatea
in Los Angeles California, operatea either by GERALD

an attendee at the Apalachin meeting in 1957 Lanza has
recently stepped down
as boss of the San Francisco " 'family"
and has been replaced Toni Lima Your investigation
reveals that Lima S leadership has not been approved by
the "I commission {i You shoula follow this matter closely
so you will be in 3 position to know all activities relating
to this change in position
The second "family" is centered in the San Jose area
and is headea by boss Joe Cerrito. This I family" exhibits
little enthusiasm for illegal operations_ You Should closely
follow the activities Of members of this "family" to insure
that any illegal operations are
immediately known to your
office_
Organized Crime
Although prostitution gambling ana narcotic activities
exist within your division there is no indication from your
investigations that these operations are controlled by either
the LCN or other organized groups _ Your investigations
shoula be continualiy pursued with_vigor in order that your
office will be aware of any illegal operations within
division This is particularly true in regard to gambling
activities in view 0f the recent passage of Senate Bill 30 _

development of member informants This is very noteworthy
and you are encouraged to make certain that your member
informants are utilized to the best advantage of the Bureau.
Also , it is noteworthy that you have increased your TE
coverage from 7 to 10 since the last inspection
SF 3058-C-TE (San Francisco file 137-4670 ; Bureau
'ile 137-17455) was rated fair because of a lack of productivity.
You should follow instructions issued in Bureau letter dated
July 14_ 1970 and if this informant is unproductive for four
months subsequent to the receipt of that letter the informant
should be closed
Although SF 2745-C-TE (San Francisco file 137-3456;
Bureau file 137-11174)
Was rated good, his progress shoula
be closely followed_ Although he is noted to be a member

veins and is very ola_ The majority of information furnished
this source has been Of a nature of past activities and
little present information is being furnished by him. You
should endeavor to have hin furnish more productive recent

close to LCN "recruit" Vito Adragna It is noted that this
target has been opened for a period" of more than one yar

some specific information concerning these people Tvho he
is close to in order that he may be retained as a target of
your office_

that this target has never been interviewed and you indicate
that contact with the target is being delayed until a more
logical area of vulnerability is developed _ Inasmuch as

All Agents are to be reminded that in dealing with
informants_ they are to be particularly alert and not
leave themselves open for criticisn or false accusations
The importance of having an alternate con
tacting Agent
or another Agent along during the course of certain
interviews is advisable in case any compromising situation
is attempted _
With the recent enactment of Senate Bill 30 you
should concentrate on
increasing your informant coverage in
the areas coverea by this legislation _ Also in regard to
the passage of Senate Bill 30 dealing with gambling which
you are aware does not now require interstate activity , you
should not overlook the utilization of your racial informants
to furnish information to your office con cerning gambling
activities Other divisions of the Bureau have been
particularly successful in coordinating the information
from racial informants in to the CIP ana IGA programs_
Statistical Accoipliahieits
During the fiscal year (fy) you recorded two convictions
in the CIP-IGA category_ During the fy 1970 your office had
three convictions During the first three months Of 1971
you have recorded one conviction in tnis category.
According to the information furnished by your office
you have four cases pending prosecution tIvo 0f which are
in the 159 (LMRDA-IM) category 2nd two are in the 92
(Anti-Racketeering) category_ Only one of these cases is
in the CIP-IGA program _ A review of your files indicates
that in file 179-24 in a case captioned JAMES FRATIANNO ,
EXTORTIONATE CREDIT TRANSACTION (ECT) the subject was
indicted:under Title 18 Section 894 of the U.S_ Code
Your office was
working the case under Anti Racketeering
classification ana the file was opened after the ECT
indictment
In regard to the possible statistical accomplishments
1 from the above file it woula appear the local office of the
United States Attorney will seek indictments under the ECT
statute A review of your cases in this category reveal only
three Office of Origin cases The files also indicate instances
wherein there are shylocking activities among the gamblers
where there are large debts outstanding. A review of your

you shoula review at squad conferences with Agents assigned
to the program provisions of SAC letter 6,8-46 dated August
20 , 1968 wherein provisions Of the ECT statute are set forth.
In relation to statistical accomplishments prior
experience has shown a
direct relationship between Office

With the increase Of manpower on this program and the

5 , Investigations have developea strong
indications that there is 2 loosely
organized movement registrants
to deliberately crowa the court calendars
in San Francisco to make the reaching
of any one man as slow as
possible_
This will also the violator the
opportunity of getting the indictment
against him dismissed alleging that
the defendent cannot receive a speedy
trial
6_ The former United States Attorney had
on his staff an assistant handling 25
cases who had never served in the Armed
Forces and was outwardly sympathetic
towards the Selective Service Act
violators_ The new United States Attorney
has a attitude towards tne Prosecu-
tion of these violators , however he has
not completely replaced the staff of the
ola United States Attorney.
A major portion of the Selective
Service Act violations in the San Francisco Division pertains
to the inductees failing to step forward to be sworn into
the Armed Forces , thereby refusing induction The Armea
Forces Examining and Entrance Station located in Oakland
'California handles all inductions for Northern California
and part of Nevada and handles approximately five per cent
of all inductions in the United States _
Approximately 38 per cent of
all refusals for induction into the Armed Forces arise at
Oakland according to the Department of the Army statistics_
registrants from all over the United States come to the
San Francisco area for the specific
purpose of having their
local draft boara changea to this area, and after meeting
all other requirements for induction refuse to step forward
to be inducted knowing that they will have two years or longer
of freedom due to the slow handling of these cases by the
Selective Service Board , United States Attorneys Office
and the courts_ San Francisco has several cases where the
violations are over two years old in which no prosecutive
action has been taken _

It is evident from the
backlog of cases
awaiting trial (414) backlog of cases
awai prosecutive action by the Federal Grand
(749) and the fact that these violations are
being
re-
ceived by your office at the average rate of 175 cases
per month that something must be done to get these
cases before the courts The most aggravated cases should
be singled out and tried first, particularly those indi-
viduals who are members of extrenist groups Experience
has shown that after several subjects have received rigid
sentences and a
widely publicized trial that many subjects
enter
guiity pleas hoping
for lesser sentences
by avoiding
the Government the expense of a trial_
It is recognized the San
Francisco Division has been most forcefully making every
effort to expedite the handling of these cases , particularly
through the judiciary_ Indications are that the relatively
newly appointed United States Attorney is syipathetic and
receptive to the problem and is making
an effort to diminish
the backlog of cases awai- Grand Jury presentations_ but
it is recognizea once an indictment is returned it is then
up to the judiciary to proceed through the Einal step , to
which they have not been particularly receptive_ have
not responded enthusiastically
to hanaling these matters in
Federal Court.
It is obvious the Federal
Judges in Northern California (San Francisco Division) have
resisted any ana all pressures brought to bear upon then
concerning this problem _ In ny analysis of this situation
1
I have determined that the United States Attorney' s Office,
personnel of the FBI and Selective Service personnel have
all attempted to influence the Judges in handling these
matters more expeditiously to no avail_ Furthermore_ within
recent months there has been wide-spread nation-Wvide publicity
relative to their coddling and minimizing this particular
problem- This apparently has had no effect upon them _ It
would; therefore
1
appear that the various Federal Judges
will not react to this problem unless some superior influential
individual or group can forcefully bring this matter to their
attention , particularly if such individual or group is one
which the Federal Judges would respect_ The obvious answer
is the Administrator of the Courts for the Federal Judicial
System in Washington_ D.C. and/or Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court , WARREN BURGER.

You are, therefore instructed
to suggest to the Bureau that the contents of the letterhead

the attention of the Attorney General with the further sug~
gestion that the Attorney General bring this matter to the
attention of the Administrator of the Courts of the Federal
Judicial System and/or Chief Justice BURGER for his analysis
and information and the further suggestion he may desire to

relative to these matters.
SAC , ASAC , Supervisory and

riled up about this ridiculous situation Irsure trat

Agent personnel with United States Attorney' s Office ana
various local draft board officials to insure that these
cases are promptly processed and prosecuted .
Your office in April, 1969
suggestea to the former United States Attorney that arresting
several inductees on the spot might have a favorable effect
upon lowering the rate of refusals at the Oakland Induction
Center The objection given by the former United States
Attorney was that the case of the registrant must be presented
to the Federal Grand Jury within two weeks after arrest. Due
to your effective liaison most Of the II bottlenecks" have been
worked out between the Selective Service Boara and United
States Attorney s Office in which these arrests can now be
effected_ You should be alert to members of extremist groups
who will fail to step forwara at the time of their induction
and appropriately arrange with the United States Attorney for
authority to arrest these individuals on the spot_ You shoula
insure that such arrests are
given adequate press
coverage_
Such plans should be brought to the attention of the Bureau
for their consideration in making
a national press release ,
if warranted_
You must closely coordinate
Selective Service Act cases with Agents handling extremist
groups such as the Black Panther Party, Weatherman SDS ; etc _
These files should be cross-referenced by appropriate
memoranda .

inspection of the San Francisco
Office a review was made of 140 Theft Fron Interstate Shipient
cases Instances were noted wherein Bureau Regulations
concerning the handling of these cases were not followed _ Set
forth below are instances noted during this review:
In the following
cases , it was noted the amount
involved appearea to be a minor amount and there appeared to
pe no aggravating circumstances concerning: these violations
In sonie instances concerning the cases which originated at the
San Francisco Airport, it was notez the filc indicated there
was a possibility of an individual at the airport being involvea
in the theft. Iowever , it is felt it is not necessary to keep
open all the minor cases in order to deternine which if any
1
employees at the airport may be involved _ These cases where
minor amounts are involvea are as follovs :

SUPERVISOR GLENN As HARTTAR : 1) This office received a
10/28/70 letter from the U,S Attorney
dated 6/24/69 wherein the
U,S . Attorney advised that they would not undertake prosecutioz
of minor theft cases The letter set the as those
cases of value of less Lhan S100 This
efficde}
has been
following the interpretation of minor thefts as
those having
3 value of less than $100 _ It was the judgment of this
office that &out all of the airport thefts involved amcunts
in excess of 8100 _ It appears that an average loss at the
airport would average af estimated 8250 it being noted that
the airline companies culrrently are paying up to 8500 per
bag - Therefore
3
these cases were not judged to be minor
cases and had not been discussed with the U.S_ Attorney as
their value exceeded 8100 . In following this policy San
Francisco believed thai they were in compliance with Section 94
of the Kanual regardiny presentation of minor cases to the
US _ Attorney _ In the future this office will immediately
present cases of the tmpe cited by the Inspector to th2
U.S Attocney before atiy investigation is conducted and
will consider suitcase type thefts as minor cases
2 ) Submission of FD 3028 _ Regardirz
the fact that I had not detected that FD 302s were not
included in the 25 files listed by the Inspector, I would
like to explain that 13 of these files mere opened after
Septenber 22 and I had not reviewea any of these files
as yet on tickler and thereby would not have had an
opportunity to detect the fact that the FD 302 was not
listed_ The remaining files have not all been available
for review at this tise but it is obvious that some of
these files aid not nave FD 3028 prepared promptly .
3)NCIC Entries _ Three of the
four files listed where NCIC entries had not been made
had not as been reviewed on ticklers since they had been
received in this office. One of the four files , 15-11994, re-
flects a suitcase clain check number which is not suitable
for entry into the NCIC.
4) File 15-11981 was recomendez
to be opened by the case Agent as he felt that this
shipment involved Personnel and circumstances which
would be logically Iorked in connection with other existirg
TFIS cases ana that it might be a lever for possible_
infornant developrent_ Tne Agent hoped to work this case
even though it was not a Federal violation and obtain an

informant and utilizing the Subject' s complicity in the
case as 'a possible lever It was believed that he
could obtain a criminal informant.
I regret very much that it was
necessary for the Inspector to call to my attention the
matters referred to in this administrative write-up- I
will take tne necessary action to insure that minor cases
are immediately presented to the U.S _ Attorney , that FD 302s
are immediately prepared, that NCIC numbers be immediately
entered where pertinent SO that it will not be necessary
for these matters to be called to my attention again_

SAC ROBERT E.
GEBHARSz:
The USA advised this office by
letter datea' 1/16 /6 9 that the
FBI should no longer present minor theft cases to the USA 's
office and that these cases should be deferred to local
courts The office has followed the policy set down by the
USA and has utilized his guideline of 8100 as a minor case
In view of his policy, the office has not been receiving minor
theft cases , as the local business community has been made
aware of the policy of the USA and has ndt been referring
minor cases to the office
Occasionally sone minor case is received from
someone not aware of the policy of the USA' s office in not
prosecuting cases having
a value of less than 8100 In the
future when a complaint is received regarding a
minor theft ,
the case will be immediately presented to the USA and after
his declination, the office will advise the complainant and
the USA ' s office in writing and where appropriate refer the
complaint to the local law enforcement agency
havingejerisdictior
over the violation This procedure will be in line witn tie

ADDENDUM
INSPECTOR ARNOLp
C LARSON : In regara to your ansmer to this
write-up, the` following is
pointed out to you:
1. Your answer implies the inspector indicated that
all suitcase-type thefts are minor thefts_ This is completely
inaccurate as each case, whether it be a suitcase or otherwise,
has to be judgea on the merits of the individual case In
the review of 140 cases there was not one single instance
wherein the United States Attorney had been consulted to
determine if the case was a minor amount ard he would not
entertain prosecution even if the subject were identified_
2 Concerning the submissions of FD-302' s to tne
file the following is 3 tabulation of cases over two months
old in which no FD-302 is in the file:
FILE NUMBER DATE OPENED
15-11918 8{14/70
15-11816 7/6/70
15-11814 7/2/70

15-11902 8/25/70
15-11939 8/28/70
15-11933 8/21/70
Although the remainder of the 25 files pointed out to
you: did not contain FD-302's and the files had not come
up on ticklers for review it is apparent with this
number of files without FD-302 S the Agents are not receiving
adequate instructions in conferences concerning proper
preparing of FD-302' s in TFIS cases.

3 Although it was
pointed out to you wherein
NCIC entries on serial nubers had not come up for adminis-

squad have not been properly instructed in the necessity
of immedia en tering serial numbers into NCIC . It should
not be necessary for you to have to remind Agents on your
squad on a periodic file review of the necessity of entering
serial numbers into NCIC should not wait an extended
period of time to enter these numbers in NCIC _ but the serial
numbers shoula be entered immediately after are obtained _
4 File 15-11981 was of a purely local na ture and
shoula have been worked out of the related Federal violation
case' rather than open a separate TFIS case wherein no
Federal jurisdiction was indicated in the opening serial

SUGGESTION MEMORANDUM
BOND DEFAULT MATTERS
INSPECTOR YARNOLD C. LARSON : As of 10/1/70 , the San Francisco
Office had 4 8 bond default
matters under investigation_ This volume of cases presents
a fertile field for increased convictions under the Bond
Default classification_
An in depth survey conducted by the Inspection
Division disclosed that there has been a
significant
increase in cases received by the FBI for investigation
subsequent to the passage of the Bail Reform Act of 1966 .
This Act liberalized bail and bond procedures in Federal
cases whereby subjects were to be considered for release
on their own personai recognizance or unsecurea appearance
bond in contrast to previous procedures which required a
specific bond, creating an excellent opportunity for us
to achieve statistical accomplishments The ratio of
convictions to the number of cases investigated in bond
default matters is one of the highest of any violation
handled by the Bureau
One of our offices _
9
namely San Diego has been
responsible for the most significant portion of the Bureau' s
convictions in bond default matters as a result of effective
liaison with the U . S . Attorney, who felt that an indictment
obtained under bond default was more easily proven than
the substantive offense When a subject is apprehended,
the sentence
9
in part, influenced by the U S _ Attorney,
who informs the court the length of time the subject ' s
apprehension has been sought by the Bureau A number of
these cases have arisen through charges of narcotics and
"smuggling of merchandise and aliens across the border_
Subjects were brought before a magistrate, and rather than
pleading guilty subjects obtained a court appointed
attorney and entered a not ty plea_ They were released
then on either personal recognizance or a minimum bond until
their scheduled appearance _ When the subject failed to
appear in court, a bench warrant was issued San Diego opened
a case and: usually within 3.0 days an indictment was secured
under bond default.

Although San Francisco is not a border office,
it is a great port of entry both by sea and air, and many
of the same type cases utilized by San Diego for obtaining
a bond default indictment should be available to San
Francisco
As You are aware, convictions are becoming more
difficult to obtain because of the court' s interpretation
of the la1 in many classifications _ Bond default matters
present an excellent opportunity to increase Your conviction
rate, therefore it is suggested that through your liaison
with the U S . Attorney point out to him the possibilities
for an increase in
convictions
under the Bond Default
Statute_
The necessity to establish effective liaison with
the U . S. Attorney in bond default matters was set out in
SAC Letter 70-13 dated 3/17/70 ,
If an increase in cases and convictions is obtained
as a result of this Suggestion Memorandum advise the
Bureau by routing attention Inspection Division
