In response to your recent request for FBI briefing
materials to prepare William H. Webster, Director of Central
Intelligence (DCI), for the October 8, 1987 public hearing on
defector handling by the Senate Committee on Governmental
Affairs, Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI), I am
enclosing documents as follows:
1) DCI directive regarding United States defector
programs, dated January 28, 1984.
2) Public source information concerning FBI
policy on defectors, dated December 3, 1986,
(unclassified).
3) A question and answer utilized in preparing
Director Webster for a previous briefing
concerning FBI defector handling responsibilities.
4) Section 105-3.2 of Part I of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation Foreign Counterintelligence Manual
titled Defectors and Redefectors.
It is my understanding, these materials should refresh
Judge Webster's memory of the FBI's role in handling defectors.
