Privacy for criminals sought
WASHINGTON () - Suppose
a guy named James McCord
walks into Democratic National
Committee headquarters and
applies for a job as a security
guard.
His name is vaguely familiar
to a committee employe who
calls the Washington police and
asks if they know anything
about him.
UNDER PROPOSED federal
guidelines for handling criminal
history records, the police
couldn't tell the Democrats that
a guy with that name was one
of the Watergate burglars.
Variations on that example are
being sent to the Law Enforce-
ment Assistance Administration
(LEAA) groups concerned that
the public's right to know is los-
ing; ground to the individual's
right to privacy.
When LEAA issued the pro-
posed guidelines last May, a
Justice Department announce-
ment described them as "de-
signed to protect the privacy of
individuals who are referred to
in such criminal history infor-
mation."
THEY COVER FBI records
as well as state anl local law
enforcement records maintained
with money received directly
or indirectly from LEAA.
"All state criminal justice in-
formation systems receive some
federal funding, and are there-
fore covered by the order," the
news release said.
No one is required to follow
the guidelines until December
1977. But many areas already
Police could not give out the
details of an individual's crim-
inal record of cases no longer
pending. On the other hand, if
Jones, for example, were arrest-
ed on an assault charge while
free on bail on another criminal
charge or while on parole fromi
prison, police could say so.
The guidelines also require
that any information given out
be as complete and accurate
as possible. For example, what
happened to the forgery charge?
Was it thrown out? Was he
tried, and, if so, was he con-
victed or acquitted? Or is the
case still pending?
REPORTERS weren't the only
ones upset by the guidelines.
Telephone companies want to
be certain they are not hiring
people with criminal records to
install phones in private homes.
In the past, police were willing
to cooperate. Not any more, in
many areas.
Other industries have similar
concerns.
HELEN LESSIN, an LEAA
staff attorney, said in an inter-
view that some of the examples
her office receives are misinter-
pretations of the guidelines and
other concerns can be remedied
by state legislatures.
"What we're saying is we're
not limiting the use of criminal
history information if a legisla-
ture goes on record and decides
in particular cases that the
public's right to know comes out
on top," said Lessin.
According to Lessin the cut-
off on disclosing information
has cleared the criminal justice*
system.
TAKE THE McCORD expm-
ple. If he were awaiting trial,
or in prison, or even on parole,
his case would be in the sys-
tem and officials could respond
to an inquiry.
Another way the information
could be obtained is if the in-
quirer knows a specific date an
action took place.
The guidelines say there is
nothing to prevent a criminal
justice agency "from confirm-
ing prior criminal history record
information to members of the
news media or any other per-
son upon specific inquiry as to
whether a named individual was
arrested, detained, indicted, or
whether an information or oth-
er formal charge was filed, on,
a specified date."

Three Americans have been
working in the plant since mid-

been kept quiet until now in
order not to embarrass the So-

Soviet relations have been stor-

expelled 15,000 Russian military
advisers.
