CTS should be telephonically notified immediately upon the initiation of any investigation under 18 U.S.C. § 1751. In determining whether a Presidential or Vice-Presidential staff member is a protected person for purposes of determining whether a violation of § 1751(a)(2) has occurred, CTS should be contacted to verify whether the person was appointed under section 105(a)(2)(A) of Title 3, United States Code.
