Wiss ie LiGenom: . For several year's the International Criminal Police Comission has supmitted wanted notices, both with and without fingerprints, similar in purposes to the Burcauts Jdentification Orders. ‘At the present time approximately twenty or thirty such notices are being received monthly. In the past these notices when received at the Foreign Liaison Desk from the ICPC were routed to the Identification Division for whatever action was deemed desirable. Under recent instructions this system has now been changed so that these | notices are referred to the Foreign Liaison Desk for information as to whether or not the circulars should be placed in the Identification Division files.
