OT ha tre Bean on Harel or," “199, the =xecutive Conferewee took up the questien 9%: 2 of procedurs in the handling of inquiries from the Internaticnel Commissiont: pean Quim ¢ of Criminal Police, Paris, France. at that time, it was decided that re- Yolen toes an quests for wanted netices received from the International Comaission of Mine baat Criminzl Police shall be referrcd to the Foreijn Liaiscn Desk of the Se- ra rane curities Division for a decigicn as to whether cr not the wanted notice shail ere be placed. There has ccme to mind scveral points involving the hundling of ., wanted notices from foreien countries and I feel thy shculd be brought to ae the Bureau's attention. ge % Lope the lecation of a subject that is wanted, the crime for which the subject is oy yanted must be one on wnich a treaty exists between the United States and the ay feoreirn country covering extraditicn. Otherwise, the subject could not be . extragited, even if located. I believe that if a treaty dces exist which pertains to the crime in questicn, that the Bur:au would have jurisdiction to investigate with a view of locating the subject in this ccuntry with the possible exception of narcotic, and counterfeiting violaticns, With this in mind, the Burvau should decide upon a policy as to whether or not it desires to investirate such cases «here we nave a lepal rirht to do so. This leral right, ef course, would depend upon the type of crime invoived, and whether | or net. a treaty exists. This question could be subnitted to the Criminal Division of the Department for a ruling. . ny In order for a wanted notice to be effective for other than rb yohit i} If it is decided that in cases where we have jurisdiction, the Bureau will investirate, I would recommend that correspcndence be had with the foreipn fovernment requiring then to follow the necessary steps and tnrough the prescribed channels in order to receive Bureau assistance. This would usually be done by huving a cipy of the warrant cubnitted throurh the foreipn rovernment's consul to its representative in Washingteny D.C. If, cn the other hand, the Bureeu decides that it docs not desire to in- vestigate cases even where we have jurisdicticn, I believe such ceamuni-~ cation sneuld be set up advising the foreircn governnent that only "location desired" notices will be rlaced i in cur fingerprint wiles, and that ther will be advised by letter of any arrest or ingorniticn ccming to the Bureau's attention, and that the Law enlorcement agency culmittine the information us to the lecaticn of the subject will be informed of the foreipn povernaznt's_ interest. .- WweBeslm a re RECORDED ; i. 7 : es Of - De % PLeee. } .
