At the time the writer made the original suggestion the titles listed below were given consideration: “investi gator Inspector Agent It is my understending that the title Investigator is now given a certain class of employees in the Prohibition Bureaue I was not avare of this until after date of my first suggestion. It is therefore believed that this title should not be adopted. It is thought that each investigative employee could be @iven the title or Inspector, and the present employees who are designated as Inspectors could be given the title of Examiners. In the event the title of Inspector is not conSidered appropriate it is felt that consideration should be given to. -designating investigative employees as Agents and not Special agents. The term Special Agent is usually thought of as meaning that the employee's activities are restricted and that he is engaged in a particular phase of work, whereas the facts as pertaining to Bureau employees are to the contrary. . Hoping the above may be of some value, I am Very truly yours, - B. WJ. HARRILL Special Agent. . RECORDED
