Dear Sir:
Although the period for making suggestions relative toa 7
possible nane to designate special agents of our Bureau _
has, I assume, elapsed, yet I am tendering the following: Tos
We are now designated and term ourselves, in approaching ‘--,. +
persons to be interviewed and in describing our positions at
in court, as Special Agents of the Bureau of Investigationg=\ Pia,
Department of Justice. This description appears a little Aa
(7 re
long and cumbersome, particularly in the minds of more or less >." --
illiterate peace officers in the country communities. The pd="9 2S”
dition of "Department of Justice" identifies us, in many nmrds,
as Prohibition agents, for the reason that agents of the PronisOp.
bition Bureau are now uniformly styling themselves, in this com-
munity at least, as "Department of Justice agents", which I
assume they have the right to doe If a designation for us could
be adopted which would not cause our Bureau to lose its identify
as a Governmental investigative service and yet would enable the
hearer to disassociate the Bureau of Investigation from the Bureau
of Frohibition, I think the situation would be met.

I believe the simple designation of Federal Investigators would
serve the purpose for agents of the Bureau of Investigation and
Feceral Bureau of Investigation would adequately and yet differ-
entially describe the service as a whole. This terminology would
fit any condition thet might arise in the future, either through
consolidation of existing investigative agencies or through the
assignment of additional laws over which investigative jurisdiction
would be conferred. In describing one's position for ordinary pur-
poses or in court, the statement "I am an investigator for the Fead-
eral Bureau of Investigation" would be illuminating and yet tending
to avoid confusion with any other service. The fact that the Fed-
eral Bureau of Investigation is one of the organizations dependent
from the Department of Justice could be conveyec, if further questions
are askede
