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. --------------------------------------- DETAILS The first chart below reflects the growth in positions from FY 1981 through FY-1988 for selected DOS agencies and for DOS as a whole.

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 Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/02/12 : CIA-RDP90-0053OR000601460001-9 Wl M' - #W Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/ 22/12 :CIA-RDP90-00530R000 001460001-9 ' , '10 00 M 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 Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/02/12 : CIA-RDP90-0053OR000601460001-9 it 0 rDeclassified a d Approved For Release 2013/02/12: CIA-RDP90-0053OR000601460001-9 i 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 Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/02/12 : CIA-RDP90-0053OR000601460001-9 Wo ~' M VW Declassified' and Approved For Release 2013/02/12 : CIA-RDP90-00530R000601460001-9 00 00, 40 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 Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/02/12 : CIA-RDP90-0053OR000601460001-9 Declassified a d Approved For Release 2013/02/12 : CIA-RDP90-005 30 R0006014600 11-9 M IM current level of efficiency and effectiveness. None of the positions under study are agent positions or are investigative in 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.

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-RDP90-00530R000601460001-9 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 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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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. Program Changes: 1989 Base 1989 Estimate Increase/Decrease Perm. Perm. Perm. Pos. WY Amount Pos. WY Amount Pos.

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.

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. Terrorism-Legal Attaches Personnel Request Office Agent Positions Support Positions Total Manila 1 1 2 Madrid 1 1 2 Vienna 1 1 2 Tel-Aviv 1 1 2 New Delhi 1 ... 1 Brussels 1 ... 1 Bonn 1 ... 1 London 1 1 Total 8 4 12 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. Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/02/12 : CIA-RDP90-0053OR000601460001-9 M EWDecla ssified and Approved For Release 2013/ 22/12 :CIA-RD 990-00530R000 001460001-9 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.

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 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.

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.
