C. ‘of. / ca a : Dear Bir: Ov, 2k “m With reference to your letter of October 8, 1930 as to sug- gestions for suitable designation for both the Bureau accountants and agents, it is believed, after consideration of various names for this purpose, that possibly the present designations are as good as any and what are generally used by all other government departments. The use of the word "Inspector" as to both agents and account- ents probably would be desirable and would conflict only to the extent that this designation is generally used by the Post Office Department. Also, the use of "Operative" would be a possible suitable term but would, of course, conflict with the use of same by the United States Secret Ser- vice. The use of the term "Examiner", Bureau of Investigation, Depart- ment of Justice, might be a desirable term to designate both accountants and agents, as it is believed this term would give a direct impression upon the mind of anyone approached as to an official investigation, that the person was making inquiry into certain facts, that this, together with the idea in mind that the party was from the United States Government, would indicate that we were interested in somthing which concerned the Government and as to which we were endeavoring to determine the facts and 3 circumstances. Also, the use of the word "Examiner" might possibly limit rod wc the idea of the duties of the office, possibly eliminating the idea that ‘+ .* the party in question was an officer who was interested in the actual ar- - 2X. Peat, searches or seizures as to violations. This probably would conflict ae th the designation used by the Examiners of the Department of Justice who ic. yQRquire Anto the records, eto. of the United States Attorneys, Court Clerks ".° "end others, -but if used in conjunction with the complete title, Bureau of ~ | Investigation, this probably would eliminate any conflict. teatime oF r wot re rs Pied ~ vues Winks Doo YEDU 10% JUL 27 1564 weet Se Re nt re eee mee er yee Cee ne ee ny ee re = ser pe re er ye me = ee
