DHS has received the attached letter from the
Kt--K Jr.
campaign requesting protection. I he letter references an assessment the campaign has
conducted on its own - it is apparently a little large for scanning, so I am working with HLS to retrieve
and deliver to HQ - will advise as soon as we have it in hand. DHS is seeking input on the appropriate
process for response so they can task/ track in their systems appropriately. Once you've had a chance
to review, please let me know what the preference is so we can stay synced .

I've also attached the reference documents I provided earlier (2020 letter to the advisory committee
and guidance document).

SAIC Crunkilton -

Still waiting to receive a copy of the actual Kennedy request from ESEC (they are working on scanning
it). In the meantime, thought I'd put the guidelines and previous process at the top of you in box!

Attached are the guidelines for the candidate protection advisory committee. I've also attached a draft
of the letter that was provided to the committee in March 2020 regarding the guidelines and process
(I'm still hunting down the signed copy of the letter, but this is the draft that went to ASl for
signature).

The basics are:

DHS designates a "recording secretary" to provide notice to the congressional advisory committee when
a request is received, along with the information needed to conduct their assessment - FEC filing status,
avg polling status, and USSS threat assessment (see draft letter to Sgt at Arms).l(b)(5)
(b)(5)

i b)(5)
I

Once DHS sends me a copy of the request received from the Kennedy campaign, I will send to you and
DAD Glady. Currently just seeking guidance to provide to DHS as to appropriate process/ tasking for
response.

Campaign 2024 - Candidate Protection

Who receives protection?

The Secret Service does not determine who qualifies for protection, nor is the Secret Service
empowered to independently initiate candidate protection.

Under 18 U.S.C.' 3056(a)(7), "[m]ajor Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates," as

identified by the Secretary of Homeland Security, are eligible for Secret Service protection.

Title 18 U.S.c.' 3056(a)(7) authorizes the U.S. Secret Service to provide protection for major
presidential and vice presidential candidates:

• Protection is authorized by the OHS Secretary after consultation with the Congressional
Advisory Committee
• The Congressional Advisory Committee includes: Speaker of the House, House Minority
Leader, Senate Majority Leader, Senate Minority Leader, and one additional member
selected by the others
• Protection under these guid elines should only be granted wit hin one year prior t o the
general election. Prot ection more than one year prior to the general election should
only be granted in extraordinary, case by case circu mstances in consultat ion with the
com mittee, based on t hreat assessment and other factors.

Criteria have been established to assist the OHS Secretary and the advisory committee in their
decision making (as of 2017). Candidates must:

When determining whether a candidate for the Office of President or Vice President of the
United States qualifies as a major candidate, the Secretary has broad discretion and may
consider a variety of factors. These factors include, but are not limited to:

1. Whether the candidate has publicly announced his or her candidacy and has filed the
appropriate documentation with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and is in
compliance with the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended, and related
laws;
2. Whether the candidate is actively campaigning on a national basis for the office for
which his or her candidacy has been announced, as demonstrated by operating a
national campaign apparatus, regularly appearing at public events in multiple states,
producing and publishing campaign advertisements, and other similar indicia of a
campaign;
3. A threat assessment conducted by t he Secret Service of general or specific t hreats
directed towards the candidate. (for these purposes, "threats" should be defined as
explicit threats of bodily harm to the candidate or indications of inappropriate behavior
towards the candidate suggesting potential bodily harm);
 Obtained via FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc.

4. Whether, during and within an active and competitive major party primary, the most
recent average of established national polls, as reflected by the Real Clear Politics
National Average or similar mechanism, the candidate is polling at 15% or more for 30
consecutive days;
5. Whether the candidate is the formal or de facto nominee of a major party for President
or Vice President;
6. Whether the candidate is an independent or third party candidate for President polling
at 20% or more of the Real Clear Politics National Average for 30 consecutive days;
7. Whether the candidate is the Vice Presidential running mate of the above independent
or third party candidate

Title 18 U.S.c.' 3056{a)(7) states that the U.S. Secret Service is also authorized to protect
spouses of major Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates, as identified by the DHS
Secretary, within 120 days of the general Presidential election. Some candidates have received
protection earlier in the campaign pursuant to Presidential memoranda.

What is the history of candidate/nominee protection?

Candidate and nominee protection was expanded to include major candidates for president
and vice president in 1968:

• Major candidates and their spouses began receiving protection after the assassination
of Robert Kennedy in 1968. PL-90-331 was passed June 6, 1968. {Language since
adopted into 3056).
• Prior to this event, candidates and t heir families did not receive Secret Service
protection
• Protection of a candidate/nominee is designed to maintain the integrity of the
democratic process and continuity of government
