Memorandum from S. L. Pomerantz to Mr. Ricks Re: Terrorist Photograph Album (TPA) ; International Terrorism (2 o/ re...» investigation. Instructions rom FBIHQ also required that three completed FD-432 forms on each individual be submitted; however, the requirement that a completed form be furnished to each field office no longer applied. Completed forms, at the direction of FBIHQ or office of origin, would be furnished to designated recipients. The existing TPA was redesigned to contain photographs, biographical descriptions and a narrative on the activities of all individuals who were being investigated pursuant to the provisions of full international terrorism investigations. These requirements for submission of material for the TPA remain in force. Since 1983, review of information submitted for inclusion in the TPA has been left to the discretion of the appropriate case supervisor. After review by the case supervisor, the material would be initialed into file with no further review by the Terrorism Section. As a result of this procedure there was no central point within the Terrorism Section responsible for maintaining the TPA. [In effect, the only complete copy of TPA was contained in FBIHQ file 105~242604, which is maintained by Records Management Division. Vx) In order to enhance the Terrorism Section's administration of the TPA and to ensure that all submissions of material to the album be thoroughly reviewed, it is recommended that a central point within the Terrorism Section be designated for administrative control of the TPA. All current requirements for the submission of material to the TPA will remain in force. Appropriate case supervisors will continue to review all submissions for his or her assigned areas; however, after the case supervisor has reviewed and initialed the material it will be forwarded to the TRAC so that a copy of the submission may be retained in a centralized administrative tickler file. Furthermore, TRAC will review all material submitted to the TPA to ensure that it conforms with the requirements currently in effect. CONFIDENTIAL - 3 =
