QUESTION:
By how much has the FBI grown since FY 1981 in terms of positions
and budget authority. How does this compare to the Department of
Justice (DOS) as a whole? How does this compare to the following
agencies within DOJ: Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA);
Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS); United States
Marshals Service (USMS); and the Federal Prison System (FPS)?
EXECUTIVE RESPONSE:
The FBI's FY 1988 budget request to the Congress totals 22,974
positions and $1,484,421,000 in budget authority (direct
funding); this compares to FY 1981 appropriations of 19,306
positions and $680,723,000. Thus, the FY 1988 budget request
represents an increase over FY 1981 of 3,668 positions (19%
increase) and $803,698,000 (118% increase). As large as this
increase in budget authority may appear, it must be remembered
that this amount has not been adjusted for inflation. Quite a
different picture emerges when this increase has been adjusted to
reflect real growth. In terms of real growth from FY 1981, the
FBI has experienced a 69 percent increase in budget authority
(direct funding), significantly lower than the 118 percent
increase in apparent growth. The FBI's apparent/real growth has
lagged significantly behind the apparent/real growth for the DEA,
INS, USMS, FPS, and DOJ as a whole.

Summary Statement
Fiscal Year 1989
For 1989, the FBI is requesting a total of $1,503,307,000 in funding, 22,988 permanent positions, and 22,044 workyears. These
direct funded resources represent program increases of $99,011,000 in funding, 925 permanent positions and 464 workyears over the
1989 base level. The 1989 request includes a total of 9,790 special agent positions (9,438 workyears) and 13,198 support
positions (12,606 workyears). The program increases in these categories are 236 special agent positions (125 workyears) and 689
support positions (339 workyears).
This request is being submitted after a thorough review and analysis of requests for increases from all aspects of the FBI that
support the accomplishment of the FBI's mission and related strategic goals. In today's constrained fiscal environment, it is
incumbent upon the FBI that only those requests for resources which are essential to the accomplishment of the agency's mission be
considered. The FBI's 1989 request represents the continued commitment by the Administration to maintain the FBI as an effective
national law enforcement agency dedicated to the investigation of criminal violations, protection of the United States from
hostile intelligence efforts, and the preservation of the rights and well being of citizens. In this regard, the FBI will
continue to emphasize Foreign Counterintelligence (FCI); Organized Crime; Drug Enforcement; White-Collar Crime; and Terrorism
investigations as national investigative priorities. Additional support, both personnel and nonpersonnel, is inexorably needed to
ensure that FBI Special Agents have sufficient resources to meet their responsibilities in these and other investigative areas.
The FBI's budget request for 1989 contains four budget activities incorporating eighteen decisions units. The budget activities
are: Criminal, Security, and Other Investigations; Investigative Support; State and Local Assistance; and Program Direction. The
major initiatives and resource requests for 1989 for the above-mentioned activities are summarized below:
Criminal. Security and Other Investigations:
The investigative programs of this activity are FCI; Organized Crime; Drugs, including organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task
Forces; White-Collar Crime; Terrorism; General Crimes; and Civil Rights, Applicant, and Other Investigations. A program increase
of 816 positions, 410 workyears and $68,187,000 is requested in this activity over the 1989 base level. A significant portion of
the requested increase in budget authority is attributed to confidential case expenditures. Adequate case funding provides
support in the development of priority investigations. To counter the intelligence threat, the FBI engages in counterintelligence
activities designed to reduce the effectiveness of the hostile intelligence presence in the United States.
The 1989 budget request reflects a strengthened emphasis on the investigation of white-collar criminal activities. Since 1984,
management directives in White-Collar Crime investigative programs have increased agent time expended on priority matters from 90
percent in 1984 to 94 percent in 1987. Many nonpriority white-collar crime matters which come to the attention of the FBI are

referred to local authorities or other Federal agencies which have concurrent jurisdiction. This allows agents to address only
the most complex, long term, and personnel intensive matters. Within the White-Collar Crime Program the FBI's principal
investigative priority continues to be Fraud Against the Government Program with primary emphasis on Department of Defense (DOD)
matters. Pending DOD fraud investigations increased 15 percent in 1987 compared to 1986, as a result of initiatives undertaken
with the Defense Contract Audit Agency and the Defense Procurement Fraud Unit. In 1987, investigations in DOD matters resulted in
178 convictions and pretrial diversions. Fraud against the government places a heavy financial burden on the American taxpayer
and, in addition, it erodes confidence of the public in the government's ability to manage resources.
Bank failures are reaching crisis levels in the United States; fraud is a contributing factor in many of these failures. Pending
bank fraud matters, where losses exceeded $100,000, including massive bank failures, increased 15 percent from 1986 to 1987. It
is anticipated that workload will continue to increase through 1991, proportionate with increases experienced from 1986 to 1987.
The FBI continues to place a high degree of priority on public corruption and election law matters. In 1987, there was a 20
percent increase compared to 1986 in the number of convictions in public corruption matters. An integral part of these
investigations was the expanded use of court authorized electronic surveillance and undercover operations. These are effective,
though personnel-intensive techniques. Heightened environmental awareness and complaints over illegal dumping of toxic waste
materials have resulted in an increase in FBI investigative efforts in cooperation with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The White-Collar Crime Program enhancements include 119 special agent positions, 130 support positions for a total of 249
positions. The augmented budget authority for this program is $10,735,000.
Organized Crime investigations will continue to focus on the La Cosa Nostra's (LCN) criminal control and domination of four major
national and international unions in the United States: The International Brotherhood of Teamsters; the Laborers' International
Union of North America; the Hotel Employees International Union; and the International Longshoremen's Associations. Recent
successes against the LCN can be attributed to the evolution of the enterprise theory of investigation. This approach requires
that separate investigations conducted against individual members of a specific group of family be combined for prosecution, using
both the civil and criminal provisions of Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO). Considerable emphasis will be
placed upon civil RICO investigations which will increase the seizure of assets and forfeiture actions. The resources requested
will enable the FBI, using civil and criminal investigative techniques to increase the prosecution of organized criminal groups.
Organized Crime increases include 6 special agent positions, 58 support positions and $4,590,000 in budget authority. With
increased resources the FBI would be able to further implement the FBI's National Drug Strategy and to continue working closely
with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Internal Revenue Service, and the U.S. Customs Service to penetrate drug
trafficking organizations in a manner in which financial assets can be identified as proceeds of the illicit activity and subject
to eventual seizure and forfeiture. The FBI will strive to reduce the incidence of illegal drug trafficking perpetrated by major
organized groups including the Sicilian Mafia, Colombian, Mexican and Oriental Organized Crime groups through a systematic,
coordinated and sustained basis. The requested increase would relieve agents from conducting routine and supportive functions and
allow agents to concentrate more fully on strictly investigative activities. The Drug Program increases include 79 support
positions and $3,605,000 in budget authority.
The FBI's Terrorism Program continues to include activities directed at the reduction and prevention of the terrorism problem
through intelligence and criminal investigations. A key element in addressing the international scope of terrorist activities and

in responding to recent legislation involving extraterritorial jurisdictional responsibilities is the assignment of Legal Attaches
abroad. Requested personnel would be directly involved in the fulfillment of foreign liaison activities vital to the Terrorism
Program.
Investigative Support:
The programs within this activity are: Training; Forensic Services - Federal; Automated Data Processing and Telecommunications;
Records Management; and Technical Field Support and Equipment. This activity provides the training and the "tools" critical to
the FBI's field investigative activities. It includes the maintenance of all investigative records and the entire FBI
communications system. A program increase of 97 permanent positions, 49 workyears and $24,135,000 in budget authority, consisting
of $3,313,000 for personnel and $20,822,000 for nonpersonnel, is requested for 1989.
By 1989, baseline Field Office Information Management System (FOIMS) capabilities will be available to all FBI field offices and
resident agencies. These capabilities would provide for indices, generic case management, administrative reporting, and other
functions. At the baseline FOIMS level, each field office squad would have access to a limited number of computer workstations.
Implementation of extended FOIMS functionality will commence with the installation of intelligent workstations at a ratio of one
workstation for every two agents. The total number of field electronic technicians requested, to support this program is 40
positions, 20 workyears and associated funding of $1,000,000.
Between 1985 and 1987 the number of audio processing examinations increased 23 per cent. This increase of workload resulted in an
extended turnaround time for examinations and a considerable backlog to develop. Electronics engineers are required to address
the audio processing examinations workload. Additional electronics technicians are also required to maintain and service field`
radio communications systems which are part of the digital voice privacy (DVP) network. The current level of field electronics
technicians cannot handle the additional support required for the greatly expanded radio system. To address these technical
areas, an increase of 3 positions (2 workyears) for electronics engineers, 54 positions (27 workyears) for electronics
technicians, and $2,313,000 is requested for 1989.
In 1984, the FBI's Strategic Planning Group considered the impact of initiating a major effort to investigate labor racketeering
matters. As a part of this undertaking, it was discovered that those agents having the most experience and success in labor
racketeering cases were also those agents who were nearest to retirement and who would not be available for the entire duration of
complex, multi-year investigations. Consequently, the FBI began to explore methods by which to institutionalize the investigative
knowled a for the benefit of a younger agent work force. Expert systems provide assistance to human nvo a ec ua
iviti s. The techniques utilized in an expert system are not merely mechanical aids in the handling of large amounts of data..
The expert system is designed to intellectually examine data and provide information which becomes part of the decision making
process. A nonpersonnel request of $6,500,000 for 1989 allows the FBI to continue development of expert systems and to take
advantage of new techniques as they are developed.
The FBI's data communications requirements are supported through the lease of telecommunications lines and circuits that permit
field office personnel to access centralized data bases and information systems at FBI Headquarters and FOIMS data bases in

regional computer support centers by the Intra-FBI Records Communication System (IRCS). Without additional funding, the FBI would
be forced to restrict access to field office users of the system which would directly effect operations by denying field
investigators the use of intelligence data entered in FOIMS and other automated systems. To address rising IRCS costs, an
increase of $6,131,000 is requested.
Several nonpersonnel items are vital to the FBI. The FBI is re esting $1,890,000 for electronic surveillance a ipment which
includes: $300,000 for concealed body worn radio transmitters, $300,000 for fiber optic microphone systems, and $$1,290,000 for
automatic dialed number records systems. Other nonpersonnel items are $5,115,000 for lease of radio tower sites for the digital
voice privacy radio initiative and $1,186,000 for the purchase of 87 surveillance vehicles.
State and Local Assistance:
The FBI provides state and local law enforcement officials with training, laboratory, fingerprint identification, and information
services. As part of the President's Productivity Improvement Program, the Automated Identification System (AIS) initiative would
accommodate an increased workload without comparable increases in staffing. The projects within AIS would address areas that are
still manual and highly labor-intensive. The approach to increased productivity would be accomplished by three efforts: (1)
implementation of an on-line, automated system with automated card and document transportation; (2) development and implementation
of an automated fingerprint classification system; and (3) development and implementation of an automated fingerprint image
retrieval system. The productivity improvement program would allow a comparably sized staff to process an additional 28 per cent
of work, which equates to a cost avoidance savings of 649 additional workyears by 1997. An increase of $6,380,000 is requested
for nonpersonnel expenditures including $2,500,000 for automated fingerprint readers; $580,000 for process control number reader;
$1,500,000 for AIS-III ADP maintenance; and $1,800,000 for automated classification/phase II research and development. Services
provided to state and local law enforcement are important and because of the benefits provided to these agencies, reciprocal
services are received by Federal authorities.
Program Direction:
This activity consists of two programs: Executive Direction and Control and Administrative Services. Included are the executive
direction, administrative, legal, planning, inspection, and financial management functions of the FBI. Emphasis is being focused
on the relatively small, but very essential, request for enhancements for Legal Counsel and Inspections. The FBI requires five
special agent positions (two workyears) in Legal Counsel to handle forfeiture matters; two positions (one workyear) to perform
Congressional undercover operational audits, and five positions (two workyears) to conduct General Ledger and operational audits
in Inspections and $309,000 in budget authority.
J A-76 Savings:
Base-level reductions of 393 support workyears and $3,335,000 are planned in anticipation of savings as a result of A-76 Program
reviews being conducted by the FBI. The FBI is currently conducting three A-76 Program reviews in an effort to determine if the
functions in these three areas could be contracted out to the private sector at a lower cost while maintaining at least the

nature but include various support functions. These studies have not yet been completed; the decrease reflects an estimate of the
savings that may actually be realized based on Government experience to date.
Other Program Decreases:
Three additional program decreases were made to the following programs: Organized Crime - $3,029,000; Technical Field Support and
Equipment - $450,000; and Administrative Services - $150,000.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
WILLIAM S. SESSIONS
STATEMENT OF THE DIRECTOR
FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION
BEFORE THE HOUSE APPROPRIATIONS SUBCOMMITTEE ON
THE DEPARTMENTS OF COMMERCE, JUSTICE, AND STATE,
THE JUDICIARY, AND RELATED AGENCIES
GOOD AFTERNOON, MR.CHAIRMAN. I'M GLAD TO HAVE THIS
OPPORTUNITY TO APPEAR BEFORE THE SUBCOMMITTEE AFTER SUCH A BRIEF
INTERVAL, AND I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN FOR ALLOWING ME TO
APPEAR BEFORE THE SUBCOMMITTEE LAST DECEMBER IN SUPPORT OF OUR
1988 BUDGET.
WE ARE WELL AWARE OF THE ECONOMIC AND FISCAL PRESSURES
BEFORE US. HOWEVER, I BELIEVE THAT THE FBI WILL FACE SERIOUS
PROBLEMS IF ASKED TO ACCEPT INCREASING RESPONSIBILITIES AND
OBLIGATIONS WITHOUT ADDITIONAL RESOURCES. THE FBI'S 1988 BUDGET
HAS FORCED US TO STRIKE A VERY FRAGILE BALANCE BETWEEN THE
AVAILABLE RESOURCES AND THE ABILITY TO MEET OUR INVESTIGATIVE
RESPONSIBILITIES. BECAUSE OF LIMITED RESOURCES, TODAY THE FBI IS
OFTEN UNABLE TO ADDRESS ALL OF THE INVESTIGATIVE RESPONSIBILITIES
AT THE LEVEL WHICH I BELIEVE CONGRESS AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
EXPECT.
I REALIZE THAT FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY REMAINS A VITAL
CONCERN TO THE CONGRESS AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. THEREFORE, THE
FBI IS SUBMITTING A LIMITED BUDGET REQUEST FOR 1989 TO MEET WHAT
HAS BEEN RELENTLESS GROWTH OF OUR WORKLOAD IN ALL AREAS. WE ARE
SEEKING A MODERATE INCREASE IN AGENT PERSONNEL FOR SOME OF OUR
HIGHEST PRIORITY INVESTIGATIVE PROGRAMS. THE MAJORITY OF OUR
REQUEST IS DEDICATED TO IMPROVING THE OPERATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS
AND PRODUCTIVITY OF OUR EMPLOYEES. TO ACHIEVE THIS END, WE ARE

Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/02/12 : CIA-RDP90-0053OR000601460001-9
PROPOSING A NUMBER OF INITIATIVES IN THE AREAS OF AUTOMATION AND
HIGH TECHNOLOGY.
FOR FISCAL YEAR 1989, WE ARE REQUESTING A TOTAL OF
$1,503,307,000; 22,988 POSITIONS; AND 22,044 DIRECT WORKYEARS.
THIS REPRESENTS A NET INCREASE, OVER THE 1989 BASE, OF
$92,047,000;'532 PERMANENT POSITIONS; AND 71 DIRECT WORKYEARS.
MR. CHAIRMAN, I WILL NOW HIGHLIGHT TWO OF OUR
INVESTIGATIVE PRIORITIES, WHITE-COLLAR CRIME AND FOREIGN
COUNTERINTELLIGENCE, WHERE WE BELIEVE PROGRAM GROWTH IS JUSTIFIED
FOR 1989.
WHITE-COLLAR CRIME
THE FBI'S WHITE-COLLAR CRIME INVESTIGATIVE WORKLOAD
CONTINUES TO GROW UNABATED; PARTICULARLY IN THE AREAS OF
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE PROCUREMENT FRAUD, BANK FRAUD AND
EMBEZZLEMENT, PUBLIC CORRUPTION AND ELECTION LAW MATTERS, AND
TOXIC WASTE FRAUD INVESTIGATIONS. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S
ECONOMIC CRIME COUNCIL RECENTLY IDENTIFIED DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
PROCUREMENT FRAUD AS THE TOP WHITE-COLLAR CRIME PRIORITY. THESE
INVESTIGATIONS INVOLVE BRIBERY, IMPROPER CHARGES FOR LABOR,
DEFECTIVE PRICING, PRODUCT SUBSTITUTION, AND FALSE-TEST
CERTIFICATIONS. IN 1987, A LONG-TERM FBI INVESTIGATION OF THE
DEFENSE PERSONNEL SUPPORT CENTER IN PHILADELPHIA LED TO THE
INDICTMENTS OF NINE INDIVIDUALS AND FIVE CORPORATIONS FOR
VIOLATIONS OF FEDERAL RACKETEERING STATUTES, WIRE AND MAIL
FRAUDS, AND FALSE STATEMENTS TO THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT.
THESE INDICTMENTS ALLEGE THAT OVER $65 MILLION IN GOVERNMENT
CONTRACTS WERE FRAUDULENTLY AWARDED. THE FBI'S HIGHEST PRIORITY
Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/02/12 : CIA-RDP90-0053OR000601460001-9
Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/02/12 : CIA-RDP90-0053OR000601460001-9
BANK FRAUD AND EMBEZZLEMENT INVESTIGATIONS, WHERE THE LOSS
EXCEEDS $100,000, INCREASED BY 15 PERCENT FROM 1986 TO 1987 AND
BY 127 PERCENT FROM 1982 TO 1987. FROM 1982 TO 1987, AGENT
RESOURCES ALLOCATED TO PUBLIC CORRUPTION INVESTIGATIONS -- WHICH
EXCEEDED 1,350 CASES AT THE FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL LEVEL --
GREW BY 27 PERCENT. JUST ONE INVESTIGATION DURING 1987 IN NEW
YORK CITY RESULTED IN 48 SUBJECTS BEING CHARGED IN SYSTEMATIC
KICKBACK SCHEMES. A RELATED CASE IN NEWARK RESULTED IN THE
INDICTMENT OF TEN PUBLIC OFFICIALS FOR ALLEGEDLY PARTICIPATING IN
KICKBACK SCHEMES. ENVIRONMENTAL CRIME CASES EXPANDED FROM 48
CASES IN 1984 TO 168 AT THE END OF 1987. WE CURRENTLY HAVE
ENVIRONMENTAL CRIMES INVESTIGATIONS RANGING FROM ILLEGAL STORAGE,
TRANSPORTATION AND DISPOSAL OF TOXIC WASTE BY UNSCRUPULOUS
COMPANIES TO CORRUPTION OF PUBLIC OFFICIALS AND INFILTRATION OF
DISPOSAL FACILITIES BY ORGANIZED CRIME FAMILIES.
IN SHORT,-OUR REQUEST FOR OUR WHITE-COLLAR CRIME
PROGRAM TOTALS AN ADDITIONAL 119 AGENT AND 130 SUPPORT POSITIONS
AND $10.7 MILLION IN BUDGET AUTHORITY.
FOREIGN COUNTERINTELLIGENCE
WE REQUIRE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES TO COPE WITH THE
CONSTANT THREAT THAT HOSTILE ACTIVITIES OF FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE
SERVICES PRESENT TO OUR NATIONAL SECURITY. RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL
ADVANCES AND EMERGING DIPLOMATIC INITIATIVES UNDERSCORE THE
NECESSITY FOR ENHANCEMENTS TO THE FOREIGN COUNTERINTELLIGENCE
PROGRAM, WHICH IS ONE OF THE PRESIDENT'S HIGHEST-PRIORITY
PROGRAMS.

Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/02/12 : CIA-RDP90-0053OR000601460001-9
ALTHOUGH THE FOREIGN COUNTERINTELLIGENCE PROGRAM HAS
ENJOYED A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN RESOURCES OVER THE LAST FIVE
YEARS, THIS CAME TO AN ABRUPT HALT IN 1988 WHEN THE PROGRAM WAS
ACTUALLY REDUCED BY $5.3 MILLION. THE REDUCTION CAME AT AN
ESPECIALLY UNFORTUNATE TIME BECAUSE OUR RESPONSIBILITIES HAVE
ALSO GROWN SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS AND, INDEED,
CONTINUE TO GROW. FOR EXAMPLE, IN 1988 WE EXPECT A HUGE INCREASE
IN SOVIET VISITORS AND EMIGRES, AND VISITS BY SOVIET SHIPS. WE
PROJECT PERHAPS AS MANY AS 105,000 INDIVIDUALS TO ENTER THE
UNITED STATES IN 1988 AS COMPARED WITH APPROXIMATELY 96,750 IN
1987.
DURING 1987, 11 INDIVIDUALS WERE ARRESTED FOR
VIOLATIONS WITHIN THE FOREIGN COUNTERINTELLIGENCE PROGRAM. I
MIGHT ADD, THAT ONE INDIVIDUAL ARRESTED IN 1986 WAS CONVICTED OF
ESPIONAGE IN 1987. NINE ADDITIONAL INDIVIDUALS WERE CONVICTED
FOR TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER-RELATED OFFENSES, ONE OF WHOM HAD BEEN
EXTRADITED TO THE UNITED STATES IN 1986.
I WOULD NOW LIKE TO ADDRESS SEVERAL SPECIFIC AREAS OF
CONCERN REQUIRING BUDGET INCREASES FOR 1989.
CONFIDENTIAL CASE FUNDING
FIRST, CONFIDENTIAL CASE FUNDING IS THE LIFEBLOOD
NECESSARY TO DEVELOP ALMOST EVERY MAJOR FBI INVESTIGATION. THESE
RESOURCES PROVIDE ESSENTIAL FUNDING IN FAST-MOVING CASES TO PAY
FOR ITEMS SUCH AS SHORT-TERM RENTAL OF SPACE AND VEHICLES,
PURCHASE OF EVIDENCE, TELEPHONE CHARGES AND UTILITIES, AND
TELEPHONE LEASE LINES RELATED TO TITLE III SURVEILLANCES AND PEN
REGISTERS. I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THESE EXPENSES ARE CLOSELY

Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/02/12 : CIA-RDP90-0053OR000601460001-9
SCRUTINIZED AND APPROVED ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS BY SPECIAL
AGENTS-IN-CHARGE OR BY FBI HEADQUARTERS.
EXPENDITURES IN THIS AREA HAVE INCREASED FROM $3.9
MILLION IN 1982 TO.$12.3 MILLION IN 1987. WE ARE REQUESTING AN
ADDITION OF $9.1 MILLION FOR-CONFIDENTIAL CASE FUNDING TO ENSURE
THAT OUR INVESTIGATIONS'ARE NOT INHIBITED FOR LACK OF RESOURCES.
GENERAL AND SPECIAL SUPPORT POSITIONS
SECOND, AS IN PREVIOUS YEARS, THE FBI HAS A CONTINUING
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL SPECIAL AND GENERAL SUPPORT EMPLOYEES. THESE
EMPLOYEES PROVIDE CRITICAL ANALYTICAL AND TECHNICAL SERVICES TO
OUR AGENTS, PRIMARILY IN OUR MOST COMPLEX AND HIGHEST PRIORITY
CASES. THIS ENABLES US TO USE OUR VERY LIMITED AGENT RESOURCES
WHERE WE NEED THEM THE MOST, AND WHERE THEIR UNIQUE SKILLS AND
TRAINING CAN BE MAXIMIZED. TYPICAL OF THIS.CATEGORY OF SUPPORT
EMPLOYEES IS OUR REQUEST THIS YEAR FOR 36 ORGANIZED CRIME
INFORMATION SYSTEM ANALYSTS TO ENHANCE OUR DRUG INVESTIGATION
CAPABILITIES. THESE ANALYSTS WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR OPERATING
THE AUTOMATED INFORMATION SYSTEMS THAT HAVE HELPED THE FBI TO
DISSECT SOPHISTICATED AND COMPLEX DRUG TRAFFICKING NETWORKS AND
OTHER ORGANIZED CRIMINAL ENTERPRISES. THE USE OF KEY SUPPORT
EMPLOYEES IS A BASIC ELEMENT OF THE FBI'S OVERALL EFFORT TO
OBTAIN THE UTMOST COST EFFECTIVENESS AND PRODUCTIVITY FROM OUR
AGENTS.
EXPERT SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT
THIRD, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE USE OF EXPERT
SYSTEMS ARE AMONG THE MOST PROMISING PROJECTS DESIGNED TO BOOST
AGENT PRODUCTIVITY. THE SCOPE AND COMPLEXITY OF FBI
Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/02/12 : CIA-RDP90-0053OR000601460001-9
Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/02/12 : CIA-RDP90-0053OR000601460001-9
INVESTIGATIONS AND OPERATIONS REQUIRE CAPABILITIES BEYOND
CONVENTIONAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS. EXPERT SYSTEMS FILL
INFORMATION GAPS, SUGGEST COURSES OF INVESTIGATIVE ACTION,
PRESERVE INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE, AND FACILITATE THE DEVELOPMENT
OF INVESTIGATIVE SKILLS OF NEW AGENTS. IN 1987, EXPERT SYSTEMS
WERE INSTRUMENTAL IN THE INTER0fC'TION AND SEIZURE OF OVER 26 TONS
OF ILLEGAL DRUGS WITH A VALUE OF OVER $10 MILLION.
WE ARE REQUESTING $6,500,000 TO CONTINUE EXPERT SYSTEMS
DEVELOPMENT.
AUTOMATED IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM
FOURTH, THE AUTOMATED IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM IS THE
FBI'S LEADING PRODUCTIVITY INITIATIVE, FURNISHING IMPRESSIVE
PREMIUMS IN THE PROCESSING OF FINGERPRINT CARDS. THE AUTOMATED
IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM IS INCLUDED WITHIN THE PRESIDENT'S
PRODUCTIVITY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM BECAUSE OF ITS POTENTIAL FOR
IMPROVING PRODUCTIVITY IN GOVERNMENT.
THE PROCESSING OF FINGERPRINT CARDS IS CRUCIAL TO THE
ENTIRE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM, INCLUDING ALL FEDERAL, STATE, AND
LOCAL PROCEEDINGS. EXTENSIVE DELAYS IN PROCESSING CRIMINAL
FINGERPRINT CARDS CAN RESULT IN THE RELEASE OF FUGITIVES BEFORE
THEIR TRUE IDENTITIES ARE DETERMINED, INTERFERENCE WITH CRIMINAL
INVESTIGATIONS, AND OBSTRUCTIONS OF PROSECUTORIAL, JUDICIAL,
PENAL, AND PAROLE OR PROBATION ACTIONS. THE AUTOMATED
IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM WILL REPLACE MANUAL CARD AND DOCUMENT
TRANSPORTATION. WITH FURTHER DEVELOPMENT THIS SYSTEM WILL
PROVIDE AUTOMATIC FINGERPRINT CLASSIFICATION, FINGERPRINT IMAGE
RETRIEVAL, AND VOICE-ACTIVATED DATA ENTRY. THE FBI'S CURRENT

Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/02/12 : CIA-RDP90-0053OR000601460001-9
PROCESSING TIME WILL BE REDUCED FROM 14 DAYS TO ONE DAY. A STAFF
OF SIMILAR SIZE WILL BE ABLE TO PROCESS AN ADDITIONAL 28 PERCENT
OF WORK, RESULTING IN A COST AVOIDANCE SAVINGS OF 649 ADDITIONAL
WORKYEARS BY 1997.
WE ARE REQUESTING AN ENHANCEMENT OF $6,380,000 TO
CONTINUE DEVELOPMENT AND PROCUREIMT OF EQUIPMENT FOR THIS KEY
PRODUCTIVITY INITIATIVE.
MR. CHAIRMAN, THIS CONCLUDES MY FORMAL STATEMENT;
HOWEVER, I HAVE A MORE DETAILED STATEMENT OF OUR ACTIVITIES FOR
THE RECORD. I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

Justification of Proposed Changes in Appropriation Language (continued)
(28 U.S.C. 524; 531-37; 18 U.S.C. 3052, 3059; 22 U.S.C. 4081, 4084;
Department of Justice Appropriation Act, 1988; additional authorizing
legislation to be proposed.)
Explanation of changes
1. Language is being requested for the purchase of additional motor vehicles to support personnel increases and for operational
flexibility. This is required because the FBI has not been able to purchase the additional vehicles needed to support
investigative personnel increases over the past two years. Currently, the FBI has purchased no additional vehicles allowed
for 1988, although there is a documented need for an additional 139 vehicles. At the end of 1987, the FBI had 2,342 vehicles
which exceeded the current replacement cycle of six years or 60,000 miles. Therefore, the FBI is requesting a change in
language to allow the procurement of 1,850 replacement vehicles. For 1989, the FBI anticipates that funding will be available
to procure appproximately 1,362 vehicles, and flexibility is required in the determination as to whether to procure additional
vehicles or replacement vehicles. Therefore, a total ceiling of 2,600 vehicles is required.
2. Language is being requested in order to provide for sufficient carryover funding for multiyear automated data processing and
telecommunications projects currently underway.,
3. In 1988, $13,000,000 was requested for the construction of the Engineering Research Facility; this funding was to be
recurred in 1989. Due to the multiyear nature of major construction projects, no-year funding authority was also requested.
The FBI's 1988 appropriation did not include the requested Engineering Research Facility funding. The deletion is made
because it is not necessary for no-year spending authority to be included in the 1989 appropriation language.
4. Language is being requested to reflect an increased level of expenditures by Headquarters and the Legal Attaches for reception
and representation purposes.
5. The funding of $11,358,000 for a highly sophisticated system to assist with language translation and recording is requested as
"until expended" because of the multiyear nature of the project.

congressional Appropriation Actions
The Congress reduced requested funding by 718 positions, 494 workyears, and $86,346,000, of which 718 positions, 494 workyears and
$75,775,000 were program increases and $10,571,000 were reductions to base funding. Base level reductions were applied as
follows: automobiles - $3,000,000; and field technical equipment - $9,571,000.
Proposed Management Productivity savings of 200 positions and workyears and $2,000,000 were restored by Congress.
Reprogrammings
These reprogrammings reflect the reallocation of personnel due to increases in workload and transfers of functional
responsibilities between and among decision units, as well as management initiatives to improve organizational effectiveness and
productivity. Among major reprogramming actions were the creation of anew Drugs decision unit from resources derived from the
Organized Crime and Organized Crime Drug Enforcement decision units; the reallocation of resources from the General Crimes
decision unit to the Terrorism decision unit; the dissolution of the Legal Attaches decision unit and reallocation of these
resources among field investigative programs; the establishment of an Office of Liaison and International Affairs to centralized
activities previously assigned to several different decision units; and the implementation of a field Security Program to perform
investigations of maintenance/contract employees and to perform personnel reinvestigations.

Base Proc;ram Description: Other Field Programs is the largest investigative program in the Criminal, Security, and Other
Investigations budget activity. The program consists of a myriad of diverse investigative activities, including civil rights
-flatters, applicant matters, state and local fugitive matters, personal crimes, property crimes, crimes on Indian reservations,
thefts of. Government property, and other, security investigations.
The Civil Rights, Applicant, and Other Investigations portion of this decision unit addresses several distinct areas, including
background investigations, civil rights investigations, and FBI employment matters. The suitability and trustworthiness of
candidates for appointment to executive and managerial positions and candidates for appointment to positions which are sensitive
within the Federal Government are matters of fundamental concern for all citizens. The prompt and thorough investigation of
alleged violations of Federal civil rights statutes is basic to constitutional guarantees. In addition, the citizenry expects the
FBI to attract and employ the most qualified applicants for its internal staffing needs.
Through the Fugitive Program the FBI assists state and local law enforcement agencies seeking felons who cross state boundaries to
avoid prosecution or confinement. General Government Crimes Program investigations are directed toward serious personal and major
property crimes committed on Indian reservations and United States property, including approximately 430 major Department of
Defense installations, civilian agency buildings and sites, national parks and recreational areas, and Federal penitentiaries and
correctional facilities. General Property Crimes Program investigations focus on thefts from interstate shipment, the interstate
transportation of stolen property and/or motor vehicles, individuals and groups engaged in such activities, and fences dealing in
stolen property. The Personal Crimes Program addresses a group of offenses involving the common characteristics of threatened-or
actual injury or loss of life including threats against the President, Vice President, executive department heads, Supreme Court
Justices, members of Congress and others; bank robberies; kidnapings; extortions; tampering with consumer products; theft of
controlled substances; and aircraft hijackings and other crimes aboard an aircraft. Beginning in 1986, the Personal Crimes
Program became responsible for the investigation of matters involving the sexual exploitation of children through violations of
the White Slave Traffic Act and the Interstate Transportation of Obscene Matter statutes.

The FBI is the lead Federal law enforcement agency in the United States Government's fight against terrorism. The FBI defines
terrorism as the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian
population, or any segment thereof in furtherance of political or social objectives. The FBI categorizes terrorism as either
domestic or international depending on origin, base, and objectives of the terrorist organization. Domestic terrorist groups
originating in the United States are pursuant under the Attorney General's Guidelines for Domestic Security/Terrorism (DS/T)
Investigations. DS/T investigations are used to assemble intelligence information on terrorist groups, but provide the safeguards
designed specifically to protect the rights of United States citizens and other persons protected by the Constitution of the
United States. FBI Headquarters personnel examine these cases to insure that the investigative procedures being utilized are in
compliance with the DS/T Investigative Guidelines.
The reactive portion of the program utilizes all the resources and techniques of the FBI to aggressively investigate and prosecute
terrorists who commit violent and/or illegal acts in the United States. The reactive portion of the program also includes the FBI
response to high risk terrorist takeovers and hostage barricade situations. To provide the President and the Attorney General
with a civilian law enforcement alternative to those of military force, the FBI has instituted and is continuing to develop and
train a Hostage Rescue Team (HRT).
The FBI Legal Attache's mission is to establish and maintain close personal liaison with all principal law enforcement and
intelligence/security services throughout designated foreign countries thereby providing the means by which FBI responsibilities
in the field can be met. The Legal Attache program provides for the prompt and continuous exchange of information and assistance
to foreign law enforcement and other agencies. By way of reciprocation, the FBI assists. cooperative foreign agencies with their
legitimate and lawful interests in the United States.

NOTE: The number of requests for background investigations requested by other agenices (except DEA) has remained relatively
constant over the past five years, averaging 3,940 requests annually. A dramatically increasing number of requests have been
received since January 1, 1987. In the six-month period ending June 30, 1987, 3,351 requests for investigations were received.
Six hundred of the increased investigation requests were anticipated. About 400 nonrecurring requests were for the staffs of the
Congressional committees investigating the Iran-Contra matter and unexpected cases from the White House. As a result of the
increased level of requests, cases pending beyond scheduled completion increased from 43 in January to 417 in June 1987, and the
inventory of cases grew from 603 to 1,455. This increase has been almost totally within the nonreimbursed category of cases, and
is attributed to increased sensitivity throughout government to security concerns, an apparent high level of personnel turnover at
client agenices, and initiatives by those agencies to meet hiring plans. The requesting agenices are being asked to provide
estimates of their request levels for future years to assist the FBI in programming resources for these investigations. Most have
indicated that their levels of requests may continue to increase.

NOTE: Increases within Legal Attache workload are in response to the projected opening of offices in Brasilia, Singapore, Manila,
Madrid, Vienna, Tel Aviv, New Delhi, Brussels, Barbados, and the establishment of liaison offices in Miami and San Juan as well as
augmentation of personnel and other resources in existing offices. It is estimated that the commitment of resources would provide
for an increase in and more frequent liaison contacts as well as an increase in investigative matters handled. This increase is
estimated at 30 percent.
There were 718 DEA background investigations conducted in 1987. The Special Agent and Support Applicant Unit has the
responsibility for background investigations for Special Agents, Diversion Investigators, Intelligence Research Specialists, and
Chemists for the DEA. The hiring decision is not made by the FBI in these matters and the mission is restricted to performance of
the background investigations on a reimbursable basis for DEA.
During 1987, 3,388 background investigations were requested by other agencies (except DEA) under the nonreimbursable applicant
program. Among these were 1,065 requests from the White House (248 Presidential appointments and 817 staff) and 120 requests for
investigations on Presidential appointments to Federal judiciary, U. S. Attorney and U. S. Marshal positions. Many of these
requests were of an expedite nature. In addition, 1,550 reimbursable investigations were requested by the Department of Energy,
and 1,115 by components of the Department of Justice and the Administrative Office of the United States Courts.
On January 25, 1988, in Little Rock, Arkansas, the alleged victim of a racially motivated arson was sentenced to seven years in
prison on charges of arson, conspiracy to commit arson, and mail fraud. The FBI had initiated an extensive civil rights
investigation in September 1986, when the residence of the victim, a black United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)
employee, was burned, allegedly because he had recently won a racial discrimination suit against the USDA.
The FBI launched an intensive civil rights investigation into the confrontation which occurred January 17, 1987, between black and
white marchers in Forsyth County, Georgia and white spectators. The investigation, which included interviews of known white
supremacists in the surrounding area, is believed to have contributed to the peaceful atmosphere of the marches during the
following week and on January 16, 1988.

"Ten Most Wanted Fugitive," Claude Lafayette Dallas, Jr., who had claimed he would not be taken alive, was arrested without
incident in Riverside, California, by FBI Agents on March 8, 1987. Dallas had escaped from the Idaho State Penitentiary in March
1986, where he was serving a 30 year sentence for the murder of two Idaho Department of Fish and Game Conservation Officers, shot
in 1981 when they attempted to arrest him for game violations.
On July 4, 1987, four inmates, including two murderers, escaped from the New Mexico State Penitentiary. The subjects abducted a
family and fled to California, where one of the subjects raped the mother and sexually assaulted the 11-year-old girl. All four
subjects were subsequently arrested on July 30, 1987, as the result of intensive investigation by FBI agents.
On December 30, 1986, Gary Willard Hambright, a teacher at the Child Development Center located on the Presidio Army Base in San
Fransisco, was charged by U.S. Army Criminal Investigative Division with sexually abusing a three-year-old boy. Due to procedural
deficiencies, this indictment was dismissed. The FBI was requested to enter the investigation; thereafter, more than 60 children
in Hambright's class were interviewed. Physical examinations determined that two children had contracted chlamydia, a venereal
disease, and two children had physical injuries consistent with sexual abuse. Hambright was indicted on Federal charges and
surrendered to Federal authorities in October, 1987.
A Memphis Field Office undercover operation, initiated in December, 1984, was a joint investigation with the Memphis Police
Department to identify, actively infiltrate, and prosecute operators of commercialized auto theft and truck stripping operations,
commonly known as '!chop shops," as well as retagging operations in the Tennessee, Arkansas, and northern Mississippi areas. In
addition, the operation attempted to identify and prosecute brokers and thieves who supply the "chop shops," as well as
individuals who participated in insurance fraud schemes by arranging for the theft of their vehicles and thereafter filing false
insurance claims. Accomplishments realized to date include 152 indictments, 143 arrests, 142 felony convictions, $3,640,000 in
recoveries (majority of which was automobiles), and $58,000 in fines. Further prosecutions are expected.

Increases of 424 positions and $49,257,000 are requested for Other Field Programs. The requested increases will enable the FBI to
meet its mandated responsibilities and objectives in all critical areas. Detailed information regarding this program can be
obtained from the " Special Analysis of Field Programs Exhibit. "
Non-Reimbursable Applicant Program
The FBI experienced an unexpected increase from a relatively stable average of 2,294 nonreimbursed requests for background
investigations per year in the prior five years to 3,388 requests in 1987 -- about a 48 percent increase. About 400 of the
Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/02/12 : CIA-RDP90-0053OR000601460001-9
M M Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/ 22/12 : CIA-RD 990-00530R0006 11460001-9
requests were for update investigations for Presidential appointees and the White House staff and for background investigations of
the staffs of the Congressional committees investigating the Iran-Contra matter. These requests are considered nonrecurring.
When these nonrecurring cases are deducted, there was still a 28 percent increase in requests over the 2,327 requests received in
1986. Investigative requests in the first three months of 1988 are exceeding the same period of 1987 by about 35 percent. The
.FBI has conservatively estimated the 1988 investigative request level at 3,300 cases, which is only a 10 percent increase over the
recurring request level of 1987. The FBI estimates that 4,200 requests for investigation will be received in 1989 -- a general
increase of 10 percent over 1988, plus 600 investigations in 1989 associated with the Presidential transition.
While timeliness standards have been generally met in Presidential appointment (PA) cases, the increase in investigations received
in 1987 caused erosion of efforts to improve the timeliness of investigations of White House, National Security Council, and
certain Congressional committee staff members and of those conducted for Assistant United States' Attorneys, Department of Justice
positions and other non-PA matters. Additional resources are required to address the increase in investigative requests and to
prevent further deterioration of completion-time standards so that employing entities can promptly fill these often sensitive and
critical staff positions. In addition, workload data in this element shows there has been an increase in field investigative
matters received from 17,825 in 1982 to the estimated 37,800 in 1989. This reflects both the increased caseload and efforts to
expand the scope and improve the thoroughness of these investigations. There have been no significant increases in funded field
positions for this additional workload.
Reimbursable Applicant Program
Twenty reimbursable field Agent positions were transferred from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) in 1987 to the FBI to
conduct approximately 600 BIs each year on the nonprofessional staffs of the USAs' Offices. OPM had previously conducted these
investigations. No support positions were transferred.
The Atomic Energy Act, as amended, requires the FBI to conduct background investigations on applicants and employees of the
Department of Energy (DOE) and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) who are being considered for "Q-sensitive" clearances. By
letter dated Septmeber 22, 1986, the Department of Energy advised that it expected to increase its usual level of investigative
requests from about 1,500 per year to 3,900. Complete and comprehensive initial and periodic reinvestigations of these personnel
are absolutely necessary to ensure that national security directives and concerns are met.
The Supervisory Special Agents who supervise these cases are presently unable to complete all tasks assigned due to their program
management, case direction responsibilities, and the supervision of the current support complement. The increase in both DOE and
USAs' support staff caseload nearly doubles the workload, and the support staffing requested below would substantially increase
the personnel supervision needs.
DOE has requested an average of 1,481 investigations per year over the past five years. About 14.5 FBIHQ support positions have
been used for these investigations. Using only caseload ratios, a 163.3 percent increase in DOE case load would indicate that 38
total positions (an increase of 23.5 positions) would be needed to handle the expected increase in cases. However, caseload
ratios do not fully account for variations in the amount of work and supervision required in different kinds of cases. Most of

M EWDecla ssified and Approved For Release 2013/ 22/12 :CIA-RD 990-00530R0006 11460001-9
the expected increase in DOE matters pertains to updating reinvestigations. Due to the fact DOE is apparently several years
behind in its update program, the investigative time span of these cases may substantially exceed the usual five-year span
normally covered by these investigaitons. To develop the most accurate forecast of resource needs, similar update investigations
were reviewed and it was determined that an increased complement of reimbursable support positions is needed to direct these
investigations.
Terrorism Legal Attaches
In recent years with new extradition, mutual assistance, prisoner exchange treaties, and new legislation in the area of terrorism,
the Legal Attache's role has become increasingly important. The Legal Attache Program is directly responsible for worldwide
investigative initiatives against terrorists, including the arrest and extradition of fugitives to stand trial for their crimes.
Eight agent positions and four support positions are requested in support of the Terrorism subprogram. This request includes one
agent and one support each for Manila, the Philippines; Madrid, Spain; Vienna, Austria; Tel-Aviv, Israel and one agent each for
New Delhi, India; Brussels, Belgium; Bonn, Germany; and London, England. A non-personnel increase of $634,000 is also requested
for operational expenses in the following Legal Attache posts: Manila, the Philippines; Madrid, Spain; Vienna, Austria; Tel-Aviv,
Israel; and New Delhi, India.

The Philippines is presently covered by Legat, Hong Kong which is staffed by one agent and one support employee and is responsible
for a territory consisting of Hong Kong, Pakistan, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. Thirty-one
percent of Legat, Hong Kong's caseload involves the Philippines. The establishment of a Legal office in Manila would allow for
the development of an FBI related caseload as well as to provide for expanding liaison contacts, providing for a more timely
exchange of information.

The Legat office in Madrid, Spain would cover a territory consisting of Spain, Portugal, and North and West Africa. Legat, Paris
has handled an average of 37 cases monthly in Algeria, Andorra, Baleric Islands, Gibraltar, Liberia, Morocco, Portugal, Sierra
Leone and Spain, with 79 percent of these matters being addressed in Spain and Portugal. The region is described as a staging
area for terrorist activities in Europe, Central America and the Middle East. The Euckadi Ta Afkatasuna (Basque Fatherland and
Liberty Movement), a terrorist group dating back to 1968, has historically targeted civil guards, policemen and military officers.
At present, Austria, Lichtenstein and Switzerland are covered by Legat, Bern. Bern is staffed by two agents and two support
employees and maintains an average caseload of 152 investigative matters, 32 percent of which involve Austria. The assignment of
additional personnel in Vienna would allow for enhancing liaison contacts, development of an FBI related caseload and a reduction
in travel time expended by the Legat covering Austria on a road trip basis. Hostile intelligence agencies operate freely in
Austria, which serves as a staging area for terrorist activity in Europe.
Additional personnel in Tel-Aviv would handle a territory consisting of Israel, Turkey, Crete, Cyprus, Egypt, South and East
Africa. Legat, Tel-Aviv would serve to establish liaison with intelligence services in Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain,
Qatar, United Arab Emirates and Oman. Terrorist organizations impacted upon would include the Amal, Hizbollah, Abu Nidal
Organizations, Al Fatah, Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), and the Democratic Front for the Liberation of
Palestine (DFLP).
The United States is host to approximately 200,000 Sikhs; extremist Sikhs have allegedly been responsible for terrorist activity
including threat and extortion letters, murders, kidnapping, and assassination plots. At present, there are approximately 35
investigations pending of Sikh terrorism, and the establishment at a Legat Office in New Delhi would permit greater coverage of
that threat.
An office in Brussels would enable coverage of a territory consisting of Belgium, Luxembourg (presently covered by Legat Paris)
and the Netherlands (presently covered by Legat Bonn). The establishment of an office in Brussels would serve to reduce travel
demands placed on Legats who presently cover the Benelux countries on a road trip basis.
One Assistant Legal Attache is requested for assignment to Bonn, Germany, (for specific assignment to West Berlin) which is
currently staffed by four agents and four support employees serving a territory of Germany and the Netherlands. This Legal
Attache post has experienced an increase in agent time devoted to special terrorism cases such as the "Labelle Disco Bombing" and
the hijacking of the cruise ship "Achille Lauro." In addition, the United States Government has decided that most U.S. hostages
from the Middle East and Europe would be returned to the U.S. medical facilities in Wiesbaden, Federal Republic of Germany, for
treatment and subsequent debriefing. Legat Bonn has been tasked to help coordinate and support hostage reception and terrorist
activities. Legat, Bonn must maintain a state of readiness as well as commit resources to operational demands.
The Legat in London, which is currently staffed by four agents and four support personnel and assigned a territory consisting of
Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom, has experienced an increase in terrorism
investigative/liaison activities. The requested position would permit Legat, London the flexibility to adequately respond to
increased tasking associated with current and forecasted terrorism program demands, permit the initiation of new contacts as well
as to cement existing liaison contacts.

Long-Range Goal: To eliminate the La Cosa Nostra (LCN) and other organized criminal groups as significant threats to American
society through sustained, coordinated investigations that support successful prosecutive action.
To effect, maintain and enhance liaison with friendly foreign police and intelligence agencies in support of FBI Headquarters and
field offices in their management of the FBI's responsibilities.
Major Objectives:
To penetrate the hierarchy of the LCN by identifying the leadership and membership of these groups in an effort to determine their
complicity in criminal activity as well as determine the extent of interrelationships among the LCN families and thereby develop
successful prosecutions for specific violations of Federal Statutes, including the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations
(RICO) and the Continuing Criminal Enterprise (CCE) statutes.
To further determine the extent of influence and control the LCN has established within the legitimate labor union community in
the United States; continue to pursue investigation against the LCN through an aggressive and successful Labor Racketeering
Program within the FBI that will eliminate this control and have a lasting and positive impact upon the nation's economy.
To continue the enhancement and installation of the Organized Crime Information System (OCIS) in field locations which will enable
the FBI to collate the vast quantity of information concerning organized criminal activity so that complex associations between
members of organized criminal groups may be identified.
To utilize the civil provisions of the RICO statute in order to rid the labor movement of the debilitating influence of the LCN
while simultaneously removing a major financial and political resource of the LCN.
To develop and maintain a national intelligence base which will consist of quality, high level informants to penetrate the
organizational structure and operations of organized crime groups; cooperating witnesses to provide first hand testimony as to the
day-to-day operations of these illegal organizations and sponsor their subsequent entry into the Witness Security Program if
necessary; and liaison efforts with other Federal, state, local, and foreign law enforcement agencies.
To provide overall coordination and management oversight of efforts relating to the use of sophisticated and sensitive
investigative techniques including court approved Title-III intercepts, consensual monitorings, undercover operations, aircraft
surveillances, physical surveillances, and to perform a wide variety of administrative and investigative support functions.

To improve through active participation the level of cooperation between foreign agencies and the FBI on matters relating to
Organized Crime responsibilities.
To expand existing liaison internationally as necessary to support the increasing investigative responsibilities of the FBI.
Base Program Description: The primary focus of this decision unit is the illegal activities of the LCN. The LCN, as well as
other organized criminal groups such as the emerging Asian Organized Crime groups in the U.S., affect the social, financial, and
political framework of American society by directing and/or becoming involved in labor racketeering, corruption of public
officials, illegal infiltration of legitimate business, loansharking, illegal gambling, and gangland slayings. There are few
businesses or industrial sectors in American society that are not affected by organized crime groups.
Recent investigations focusing on the criminal activities of the 25 LCN families have developed intelligence information which
reinforces previous information that indicated many of the unions within the United States are being influenced or directed in an
illegal manner by the LCN. The evidence presented in these'cases has demonstrated that the LCN's influence in labor unions allows
for the disruption of the competitive free market in various industries such as concrete, construction, trucking, and the air
freight industry.
The recent successes against the LCN can be attributed to the evolution of the Enterprise Theory of Investigation. This approach
requires that separate investigations conducted against individual members of a specific group or family be combined for
prosecution, using both the civil and criminal provisions of RICO. Under this approach, the group or family is named as the
enterprise. Convictions on this basis result not only in significant periods of incarceration, but provide for the seizure of
assets accumulated by the enterprise through its illegal activity, and can prohibit members of the enterprise from associating
with corrupted labor unions, infiltrated businesses, compromised institutions, or even with other members.
Organized crime investigations require numerous techniques which have proved to be resource intensive and extend over lengthy
periods of time, as can be seen in the accomplishments. In order to penetrate the close knit, secretive organizations, such as
the LCN, the FBI employs a variety of sophisticated investigative techniques, such as, court ordered electronic intercepts, long-
term undercover operations; extensive physical surveillance, including the use of aircraft; high echelon, quality informant
coverage; and cooperating witnesses. In addition, the FBI's Organized Crime Program complements its investigative efforts and
maximizes its investigative resources by providing FBIHQ and field locations with computer based capabilities via OCIS. OCIS
personnel assist in the collection, collation, analysis, and dissemination of investigative information relative to organized
crime matters. Within OCIS, particular emphasis is placed upon link analysis of relationships which exist between or among
organized crime groups and/or between corrupt organizations and union officials or business leaders or public officials.
Within this decision unit is the Investigative Support Program, which provides witness security protection, aircraft support,
coordination of undercover operations, Special Operations Groups/Off Premise Sites (SOG/OPS), as well as a myriad of
administrative activities that support all- FBI investigative decision units. Aircraft surveillance enables discreet contact with
a moving target even though the target is using evasive maneuvers to elude surveillance and allows for accompanying ground units
to be clear of the target, where ground units might be unable to get close enough to observe the target without detection. The

Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/02/12 :CIA-RDP90-00530R000601460001-9
undercover technique has opened avenues of investigative pursuit not available in the context of the traditional investigative
process. Undercover agents have the ability, in certain situations, to penetrate the highest levels of criminal activity. The
undercover technique also allows for more effective and safer use of sources and informants, in that the information obtained from
the undercover operative may preclude the necessity for sources/ informants to testify in court. SOG/OPS are used to support the
integrated functions of surveillance, tactical mobility, undercover operations, sensitive and complex Title III electronic
surveillance installations, and the tracking of extremely sensitive and surveillance-conscious subjects.
The FBI Legal Attache's mission is to establish and. maintain close personal liaison with all principal law enforcement and
intelligence/security services throughout designated foreign countries thereby providing the means by which FBI responsibilities
in organized crime are met efficiently, effectively, and expeditiously. The Legal Attache program provides for the prompt and
continuous exchange of information and assistance to foreign law enforcement and other agencies. By way of reciprocation, the FBI
assists cooperative foreign agencies with their legitimate and lawful interests in the United States.
