a Memorandum Bates to Gebhardt Re: HEARNAP; un , San Francisco is preparing a communication for apg§oval tabe directed to all offices and Legats capsulizing develog™ents in¥this case and the $50,900 available to informants for ‘in¥prmation ledding to the fugitives' location and apprehension on a c. d. basis. NATIONAL PUBLICITY Recognizing that the fugitives’ whereabouts have not been established since 5/17/74, it is believed that a concentrated pub- | licity effort is mandatory. In that regard, these efforts which are recognized as extensive, would include a "Reader's Digest" article similar to that prepared in the Coors kidnaping case, which directly resulted in bringing that matter to a conclusion. Additionally, - placement of an article in "True Detective" type magazine is desired as well as utilization of black magazines such as “Ebony." It is also believed that nationwide television coverage is necessary and hopefully a segment could be prepared for presenta- tion on a program such as "60 Minutes" or the “Reasoner Report.” This would necessarily involve complete cooperation and assistance by the FBI in furnishing extensive information re the case and possibly appearances by the Director and top officials in the filming. Upon approval, WF #475 will be revised containing additional photographs and descriptive data and afforded the widest dissemination. Attached are three photographs each of the Harrises, demonstrating the problem of identification. Addition- -ally, separate Identification Orders will be prepared for Patricia Hearst and Emily Harris. It is noted that no inked fingerprints are available for these two females; however, the limited fingerprints avaflable will be utilized. While considerable circularization has been made through- out the country, further coverage is deemed desirable. In this regard, using additional photographs and updated information, wide- spread circularization should be made to abortion clinics, health clinics, divisions of motor vehicles and operator's license sections, day laboring and temporary employment offices, camping areas, camping supply outlets, parks, auto rental agencies, university personnel offices, and others. In order to insure the widest dissemination of information to the “police officer on the street", articles ‘ ghould be published in the “Law Enforcement Bulletin”, IACP publica- tiens, California Police Association Bulletins, and bulletinsf of pokice departments. Additional publicity may also be gained fthrough us@ of Fraternal Order of Police and other police benevolentfor unZon association publications. - ~Jge
