MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director/plans
5 SECT: Duties of the Inspector General and of the
Chief. Inspection and Review. DD/P in
Making Inspections within DD/P.
1. Confirming our conversation of yesterday with regard to
previous memoranda on the duties of the 1G and of the Chief, I1R
(DD/g). I do not think it is necessary to modify my memorandum
of 17 January 1955 since the text perudts procedures which will
take into account the points you have-raised. For example, in case
the IG makes a report covering any Division of DD/P. I will certain-
ly reserve the right to send you the full report in all cases where it
is in the interest of efficiency to de so. 'I should imagine there
should be few instances in which anything would be withheld.
Z. As regards the use of the word "malfeasance" and the
respective jurisdiction of the IG a. d the Chief. AR (DDIP). in
case you should have any question as to v*ether a matter should
be referred immediately to the 10 or the investigation be continued
by the Chief, ICR (DD/g), we could discuss the matter togs and
determine the appropriate method of procedure is the light of r acts.

ME'IORANDUMM FOR: The Director of Central Intelligence
SU.BJ1CT: Duties of the Inspector General and of the Chief,
Inspection and Review, DD/P in Making Inspections
within PD/P
PEFh~R NCE: Memorandum to DD/P and IG from DCI, dtd 17 Jan/55.
Same subject.
1. Receipt of the reference memorandum is acknowledged and. all
officials of the DD/P area i-fhose work is directly affected by it are
being notified of the contents of this memorandum in order that they
may conply with the terms thereof.
2. There are one or two points about the language of the reference
ne:norandum which are not entirely clear to those of us in the DD/P area
wh^ have examined the paper, and accordingly we should like to know
whether the following understandings or interpretations meet with your
ap;:.)roval :
a. We had asked for language providing that copies of
the reports of the Inspector General might be furnished to
the PD/P and/or Chief, I&F/DD/P. It is noted that in the
language of the reference memorandum it is provided only that
the inspector General gill include in his recommendations to
the D^I one dealing with what portions of his report should
be provided to the DD/P or the Chief, IL-R/DD/P. It would
seem to me that in the case of investigation and inspection
reports of the Inspector General which deal with the DD/P area
-- so long as such reports are accepted by you and do not in-
volve personal culpability on the part of PD/P, C/OP or Chief,
I8_R/DD/P, it would be desirable for these to be made available
by you in order to enable propri_ate remedial
E GIB action.
b. We are somewhat troubled by the apparent restrictions
placed upon the work of Chief, i.F/DD/P by the language of
Para c. of the reference memorandum. The difficulty arises
out o? the use of the word "malfeasance" coupled with a re-
quirement that upon the discovery of any evidence (of mal-
feasance) the matter will be immediately referred to the
Director or the Inspector General -- and further inspection

or in'resti ation of the matter will, unless the Director other-
?,ii se decides, be directed or taken over by the Inspector ('Teneral.
The term "malfeasance" is not sufficiently clear in meaning to
serve as a satisfactory guide, in my opi.ni_on. It is differently
defined in different dictionaries and even the legal dictionaries
do not declare it to be a tear. of art. This provision of the
reference memorandum would he satisfactory and workable if
either (1) the questionable term were to be deleted, or (h) we
could be advised by you that its use here is intended in the
narroiT or strict sense of official misconduct relating to im-
proper use of funds or governmental property. Otherwise stated,
I am very reluctant to see so many possibilities for the "ousting"
of Mr. Scott's jurisdiction tc i nvesti_gate or for additional areas
of miounderstand;_ng to arise in this regard.
3. In all other respects those of us who have examined and given
thought to the reference memorandum consider it to be a fair and workable
directive and one which will serve as a most useful giide to us all.

FRANK G. WISN_~R
Deputy Director (Plans)
of ?Th.i_le a distinction is recognized as between the eypressions "malfeasance"
on the one hand, and "misfeasance" or "non-feasance" on the other, there are
presLmnably manor types or categories of malfeasance. You will recall the dis-
tirctions sought to be drat.m in the old cases as between malurr. in se (morally-
or inherently YTrong or evil) and. malum prohibitizm (had only because declared
to be so). There is also the classification of acts malitia preecegi.tata --
acts perpetrated with malice aforet',iought. if all of these classes of acts
are Encompassed within. the tern "malfeasance", then the use of this exnres-
si_on is more apt to generate than reduce arents, since it is susceotible
of such bread construction.
