MEMORANDUM
December 5, 1968
TO:
Mr. H. Robert Haldeman
FROM:
Franklin B. Lincoln, Jr.
F.B.I. CLEARANCE PROCEDURES
The following procedure is suggested in response
to the questions about basic security checks for prospective
White House Staff and other key administration appointments
raised by your memorandum to me dated December 1, 1968:
1. A full-field FBI background investigation
should be initiated immediately for each White House Staff
appointment and other key Administration appointments
already announced. It is most desirable to have full-field
investigations completed prior to the announcement of all
White House Staff and other key Administration appointments
made in the future. We have been assured by the FBI that a
full-field FBI investigation can be completed within two
weeks from the date of the request or less if absolutely
necessary.
Announced and prospective White House Staff
appointees should complete standard form 86, "Security
Investigation Data for Sensitive Position" as soon as
F.B.I. CLEARANCE PROCEDURES
December 5, 1968
Page 2
possible. A copy of this form is attached hereto. Additional
copies of the form will be supplied to you. If it is not
possible for the prospective White House Staff appointees
to complete the form at this time, certain basic information
should be furnished; namely, the candidate's full name,
address, date and place of birth, place of employment,
Social Security number, previous permanent addresses, a brief
biography, if possible, and two or three references with
addresses. It would be advisable to request that other key
Administration appointees furnish the basic information
described above rather than to ask them to complete a
standard form 86. In the case of White House Staff appointees,
it would be highly desirable to obtain a complete fingerprint
card on standard form 87.
2. The standard form 86, in duplicate, standard
form 87, and other basic information should be forwarded to
one or more persons designated by R.N. for this purpose. A
Covering memorandum similar to the attached should accompany
the material. A request for an investigation will then be
made to Mr. Cartha de Loach of the FBI who has been designated
by Director Hoover. All security checks of any kind regarding
White House Personnel will be sent directly to you marked
"Personal and Confidential", with copies to no one else on
your staff. It is suggested that until January 20, 1969
F.B.I. CLEARANCE PROCEDURES
December 5, 1968
Page 3
we maintain an alphabetical filing system with an index
card control.
For your information, prior to the election full-
field investigations were requested and have been completed
on me and my assistant, William R. Harman. These reports were
sent to the Security Division of the office of theSecretary of
Defense and on the basis of such investigations, both of us
have been granted Top Secret Security clearance.
3. The clearance procedure used by the CIA does not
take the place of the full-field FBI investigation. All appoint-
ments to the White House Staff positions and all other
Presidential appointments should be preceded by a full-field
investigation where possible.
4. It is our understanding that the result of
investigations conducted by the FBI will be delivered directly
to us from Director Hoover without being routed via the present
Administration and without copies to the present Administration.
Attached hereto is the copy of the letter from Attorney General
Ramsey Clark to Director Hoover dated November 14, 1968.
Paragraph 6 of that letter has been modified to eliminate
reference to members of the present Administration.
5. If there is not sufficient time to complete a full-
field investigation prior to the announcement of a White House
Staff appointment and other key Administration appointments, an
FBI name check and internal Revenue Service check should be
conducted at the bare minimum.
F.B.I. CLEARANCE PROCEDURES
December 5, 1968
Page 4
6. A name check can be completed within a few
days and involves submitting to the FBI information on the
prospective appointee, such as his name, date and place of
birth and present address. This information is checked
against the central files of the FBI which contain records
pertaining to subversive and criminal matters as well as all
fingerprint, arrest records of the FBI. The files also
contain information furnished to them by each of the nine
intelligence agencies, including the Defense Intelligence
Agency, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Department of
State (S.Y.), the F.B.I. (civil and criminal), Department
of Defense (service records) and the House Un-American
Activities Committee and the Senate Internal Security
Subcommittee.
7. An Internal Revenue Service check is part of
every full-field FBI investigation, so that a request for
a full-field would result in an IRS check as well. IRS
checks can be made independently of a full-field investigation,
and if there is not sufficient time to conduct a full-field,
an IRS check should be made along with the name check. An
IRS check can be made before Inauguration and it would be
preferable to do SO. The Secretary of the Treasury has
issued regulations (26CFR 301.6103(a)(f)) under the authority
F.B.I. CLEARANCE PROCEDURES
December 5, 1968
Page 5
of Executive Order No. 10906, as amended by Executive Order
No. 10954, permitting inspection of returns by executive
departments other than Treasury, upon written application
to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue Service, signed by
the head of the executive department.
The FBI has access to such tax information for
background investigation purposes. The FBI sends its form
requesting an IRS check to its contact in the Internal Revenue
Service, requesting information with regard to tax returns for
the past seven years. Information relating to delinquency in
filing of tax returns or payment of taxes and the existence
of suits pending against the individual by the government for
taxes is kept in a computer data bank located in Baltimore,
indexed by social security number. It is possible to obtain
a response in a matter of hours. If any question is raised in
response to the computer check, a further field investigation
is made with the regional office of the Internal Revenue Service.
I am attaching hereto a copy of a memorandum on
FBI clearance procedures that covers not only the White House
Staff but all other Presidential appointments. You may find
this of some additional assistance. If you have any questions
with regard to this matter, please do not hesitate to contact
me.

November 14, 1968
Honorable J. Edgar Hoover
Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation
I conferred last week with Franklin Lincoln, Jr.
representing President-elect Nixon regarding personnel
investigations to be conducted by the Bureau on
appointments under consideration by the new Administration.
The following arrangements were agreed upon and will be
followed:
1. Mr. Nixon will designate several people,
probably no more than three, who he will authorize to
make requests for personnel investigations (including
name check, IRS or full-field investigation. )
2. All such requests from the incoming Administration
will be made to Assistant to the Director Cartha DeLoach,
or any other official you may designate for transmittal
to appropriate Bureau channels.
3. Full-field investigations for the FBI will
be requested only with respect to Presidential appointees
requiring Senate confirmation, key members of the White
House staff and the Director of the Bureau of the Budget.
Should additional investigations be needed, there will be
further discussions between Mr. Lincoln and me.
2.
4. Investigations requested by the
incoming Administration will be given top priority.
5. The results of such investigations on
appointments to become effective on or after January 20,
1969, will be furnished solely to Mr. Nixon or an
individual designated by him.
6. The results of any such investigations on
individuals who will have access to classified materials
prior to January 20, 1969, will be furnished both to
Mr. Lincoln and the appropriate member of the present
Administration.
7. To protect the integrity of the governmental
process and the privacy of the individuals involved, Mr. Nixon
or his designee will take steps to insure that the results
of such investigations will be made available only to a
carefully limited individuals who need to know.
8. Should an excessive number of investigations
be requested or should other investigations of over-riding
importance develop during this interim period, the matter
should be brought to my attention for prompt resolution.
