Tank's Driver Beset by Drug, Money Problems

May 19, 1995 SEBASTIAN ROTELLA and CHRIS KRAUL TIMES STAFF WRITERS

SAN DIEGO — Shawn Timothy Nelson, the former Army tank crewman slain by police after going on a destructive urban rampage in a stolen M-60 tank, had talked about suicide and was tormented by family, financial and drug woes, police and friends said Thursday.

Nelson's wild ride Wednesday evening left streets and freeways looking like battlegrounds. It culminated on a freeway near a hospital with which he had been embroiled in a legal fight. Detectives are investigating the possibility that Nelson was bound for the hospital on some kind of a revenge mission, according to San Diego police spokesman Bill Robinson, but they have not yet determined a motive or a target.

"He never made a specific threat," said San Diego Police Capt. Tom Hall. He described Nelson as a divorced, self-employed plumber who had just broken up with his girlfriend, "had not been working lately and had been acting rather strangely."

Nelson's brother, Scott, told reporters Thursday: "The man who died yesterday was only a shell of the person we loved. The real Shawn died two years ago at the hands of drugs and alcohol. We are very sorry for all the damage done and very thankful that no one was hurt."

In recent years, Nelson's parents died of cancer, he lost his job and he broke his neck in an accident. He was about to be evicted from his house, his brother said. Although tests are not complete, Scott Nelson told reporters, a coroner's investigator said the dead man smelled of alcohol.

Scott Nelson did not criticize the shooting of his brother by an officer atop the tank, a frenzied scene captured by news cameras.

"I don't want to say anything about the police," Nelson said. "They were doing their job."

The theft of the tank from a California National Guard armory prompted the city's mayor to fire off an angry letter Thursday, asking Gov. Pete Wilson to order an investigation into security at the facility.

"I am extremely concerned about the ease with which the individual was able to enter the National Guard Armory," said Mayor Susan Golding in the letter. "The National Guard armory houses arsenals of military hardware and equipment that when fallen into the wrong hands can be deadly. The security measures that were in place at the time are clearly unacceptable."

And a National Guard spokesman acknowledged Thursday that vehicles entering the grounds are not checked and credentials are not required, despite a security alert imposed after last month's bomb attack on the federal building in Oklahoma City.

"We will heighten our security effort," said Col. Robert Logan. As a precautionary measure, the Guard has removed batteries from the 28 tanks used for monthly training exercises in Southern California, Logan said.

About 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, the 35-year-old Nelson, who once served in an Army tank battalion in Germany, drove his Chevrolet van with the personalized license plates "KAN FIX" into the armory north of downtown. He was shirtless and looked disheveled, according to a neighbor who saw him leave home hurriedly about 6 p.m., but military personnel did not challenge him. He broke into three padlocked tanks, succeeded in starting the third and rumbled over a chain-link fence, police said.

Then he wreaked about 22 minutes and six miles of havoc: He rammed at least 40 vehicles, slightly injuring a mother and child by smashing into their van, attempted to hit pursuing police cars and plowed into bridges, utility poles, fire hydrants, signal lights, a bus bench and finally a concrete freeway divider, where the tank became stuck in a cloud of dust.

Four of the dozens of converging police officers clambered onto the still-running tank and wrested open a locked hatch with bolt cutters. One of the four officers was a tank crew veteran in the Marine reserves who had been ordered to the scene because of his expertise.

After Nelson refused commands to surrender and relinquish the controls, an officer fired one shot into the tank and wounded him fatally in the upper right shoulder, Hall said.

Police said the shooting was justified because they had to stop the bizarre chase before the driver killed someone with the formidable armored vehicle, which police have no armament capable of engaging. The officers also did not know whether Nelson had a gun, police said.

"You've got a [53-ton] vehicle driven by someone purposely hitting vehicles that are occupied," Hall said. "That is a serious threat to public safety."

Although a tread came off the tank when Nelson tried to swerve over the divider into oncoming traffic lanes, it was not clear to the officers that the tank was disabled and the officer with military experience believed that Nelson had shifted gears to perform a spinning maneuver used to dislodge stalled tanks, police commanders said.

"If he had not crashed into that median, we would have been in big trouble," said Assistant Chief George Saldamando. "He was still actively trying to break loose. I don't know how nobody else was killed."

Tank's Driver Beset by Drug, Money Problems

May 19, 1995 SEBASTIAN ROTELLA and CHRIS KRAUL TIMES STAFF WRITERS

While the chase was under way, leaving power outages and traffic jams in its wake, police vehicles surrounded their lumbering quarry and tried to clear a path ahead. Meanwhile, police commanders scrambled to come up with a strategy in consultation with the National Guard.

Saldamando said: "We had people at National Guard headquarters asking, 'How do you stop a tank?' There's a thing called a tank breaker bar. But one of the tank tracks has to be stopped and you stick the breaker bar into a cog. That only works if the tank is stopped. And you have to have the breaker bar available."

Police were reviewing tactics and contingency plans Thursday in the no-longer-unimaginable event of another confrontation with a military vehicle, Saldamando said.

Detectives were also delving into the background of the dead man, described by friends and neighbors as a genial but troubled person burdened by accumulating personal and financial problems.

Nelson's recent statements alluding to suicide may have been the product of continuing woes: a longtime struggle with alcohol and methamphetamine use, his divorce, his breakup with his girlfriend and the decline of his contracting business, according to friends and police. He had become especially despondent after the theft of his plumbing tools last year. His home's water and gas service had been turned off because of unpaid bills, and he recently received an eviction notice, according to relatives and friends.

*

Although Nelson's destination was unknown, police said it may be significant that his route took him close to Sharp Memorial Hospital, which is east of the freeway above the spot where the tank turned onto the median. Nelson had filed two lawsuits against the hospital, according to officials there. He sued after a fight with an emergency room security guard while he was a patient in 1990, then sued the hospital again for malpractice in 1992. The suits were consolidated and dismissed in 1993, a spokeswoman said.

Asked whether his brother might have been headed for Sharp Memorial, Scott Nelson noted that their mother had died at the hospital three years ago. "He thought he got a raw deal there," Scott Nelson added, referring to his brother's run-ins with the hospital.

Shawn Nelson also appeared to target city property in his rampage, at one point stopping to crash repeatedly into the pillars of a pedestrian bridge. Given the nationwide attention to politically motivated violence in the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing, there was speculation throughout San Diego on Thursday that Nelson was impelled by some kind of grudge against the government.

But the only sign of a political sentiment was Nelson's recent cryptic comment to a neighbor that "Oklahoma City was good stuff," the interpretation of which is not clear, Hall said.

Nelson was known on his street of small, working-class houses for his willingness to do affordable plumbing jobs--and for an obsession with minerals that led him to dig a makeshift, 15-foot "mine" in his back yard, neighbors said.

"He was kind of obsessed with the idea he had minerals in his yard," a neighbor said. "He installed a hot water heater for me and talked about mineral rights. He was going to sell his house for a million dollars because he had all this gold and oil in his yard. I thought he was a little odd, a little kooky, but he was a nice man and gave me a nice price."

Nelson enlisted in the Army in 1978. He served in an armor battalion based in Germany and was discharged with the rank of private in 1980, records show.

Nelson's military career was marred by "multifaceted" disciplinary problems, according to an Army official who asked not to be identified.

Nelson did not exhibit a fascination with weapons, his brother said. "He wasn't a gun-toting crazy person. He needed help. But nobody could help him."

The food I bought from the QFC Borg yesterday, and the time before that, in hindsight, has left me thinking of that plot element from "The Langoliers" TV miniseries. I found that to have a fair level of profound considering my current circumstances. It also reinforces a notion that I was thinking about just before or just after I awoke a few hours earlier that all the grief I feel from being away from my wife Phoebe all these years is just a few steps behind me as I run around in all directions trying to figure out how to get back to her. I have pondered a few times over whether it will suddenly just hit me like a wall. That wall I wrote off a long time ago when I was writing about a person creating some kind of anti-gravity device and when the inventor came under the influence of the anti-gravity device, then the wall to the west of him, or anything to the west of him due to the Earth's spin, was going to slam into him at about 1000 miles per hour. Later I would wonder if the friction of the atmosphere would burn him to a cinder first though. It depends how far he was away from the wall.

JOURNAL ARCHIVE: 06/12/08 7:19 AM
The QFC-Borg have been visually tracking the food purchases I make and I guess that is to counteract some kind of legal trouble they anticipate from the QFC card I use and that is associated with my official U.S. federal secret undercover identity.

One reason could be in that they are conspiring with the Microsoft-Corbis-Al Qaeda alliance paparazzi to intimidate the public if something comes up at trial.

They intimidate and threaten the public by making them self-conscious about their food supply.

The QFC-Borg stands to lose money as a result but that is weighed against the fact that the people involved, that work for the QFC and the Microsoft-Corbis-Al Qaeda alliance are anticipating their own permanent confinement to U.S. federal prison.

I just woke up from a nap and I am not certain how I was asleep. About 3 hours I guess. I remember it was still dark outside. Anyway, in the dream I had just before I woke up, I woke up and I was in the back of that red 1967 Ford pickup I have written about. I find myself thinking my wife was back there with me and asleep too but after waking up and pondering the dream, I am not certain that was her. I cannot visualize that woman but I can visualize one certain detail, which is puzzling and vague, about her outline or silhoulette that makes me think that woman was not really my wife. In the course of the dream, it does not matter though. So in the dream, I woke up and I noted two items in the bed of the truck. One was a power drill. The other was some kind of jacket similar to those light jackets I wear today. The cord of the power drill was wrapped all around something; perhaps the jacket and there is something about that I cannot remember. I find myself thinking that there must have been a soaking rain while I was asleep because the jacket is soaking wet and everything else in the bed of the truck appears to be wet from the rain. So at some point, I tried to start the engine of the pickup, which is puzzling because I was in the cargo bed. I cannot actually remember seeing me trying to start the engine so I do not know how I was doing it but I vaguely recally turning some kind of switch and I guess that switch was in the cargo bed. So I turned the switch and I was not too surprised that the engine would not start and that the battery was dead. The engine turned over a couple of times but then the battery died before the engine started. I looked behind the truck and I noted the was a long hill behind the truck so I was going to roll the pickup down the hill and jump start it. Before I could though, I saw the pickup pull out from where it was parked with me in the cargo bed, seeemingly alone by now although I am not certain but there was nothing else about that woman to indicate she was my wife, and I noted that Adam Carolla was behind the wheel. I can vaguely visual where we had been parked and it was on that street in front of the QFC that is now closed

I confronted a perp. with a camera as I was walking to the grocery store in the past hour.

I was walking along the barricade fence next to the undergoing construction of the Al Qaeda-Corbis-Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation building next to the QFC and I saw the perp. with the camera raise his camera over the fence. I saw multiple flashes from the camera as he pointed it at the construction behind the fence and then I saw him with the camera to his face as it was pointed directly at me. There was no mistaking that he had the camera pointed directly at me.

He and the man and woman with him turned around and continued towards the QFC I was going to and that I had almost reached. They crossed the street and I caught the same crosswalk light and caught up to him at the entrance of the QFC. He had the man and woman lined up in front of the entrance and the angle of the photo would have featured me walking by them and with the QFC sign in the frame. I pointed him out and confronted him about taking my picture a few minutes earlier and then I walked into the store to buy food.

I think it was the last time I walked over to the QFC supermarket for food that someone said something similar to me. He seemed to be pretending to talk on a cell phone and as he passed by me in the crosswalk in front of the grocery store he made some kind of comment about how "they" didn't have to take orders from. I have heard other comments in front of the store but I try to ignore since what they crave is attention from me as do all serial killers during their crime sprees.

Gates Foundation Invites Public to Explore New Visitor Center Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

New center invites public to learn about the foundation and share their own solutions

SEATTLE -- On Saturday, February 4, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will open the doors to its new Visitor Center, an interactive space that aims to connect visitors to the work of the foundation and help them explore their own solutions to some of the world’s toughest challenges. Visitors can learn more about the work foundation partners and grantees are doing around the world to help all people live healthy, productive lives. Admission is free. The space is open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

“Every day, we are inspired by the innovative work our grantees and partners lead—work that is providing solutions, hope, and opportunity,” said Melinda Gates, co-chair of the Gates Foundation. “Our Visitor Center is a place to showcase this innovation and motivate and inspire people to take action, in their own unique ways, to improve lives.”

From family homelessness in the Pacific Northwest, to education in the United States, to malaria in Africa, visitors can touch, interact with, and focus on exhibits that address the issues that interest them most. Visitors can also join conversations about important global and local issues. Exhibits encourage people to explore their own solutions and share ideas with other visitors and their own communities.

For example, at the Innovation & Inspiration Gallery, visitors can take a “Find Your Skills” quiz to help them identify their own strengths and passions. From there, they are invited to explore various stations aligned to their strengths that ask them to solve real-world problems and share their solutions with family and friends.

“There is something in the Visitor Center for everyone. You can dive into some of the most complex issues in really fun, interactive ways,” said Jeff Raikes, CEO of the foundation. “We offer hands-on experiences so that people can see for themselves how innovative tools are helping improve lives around the world.”

The Visitor Center incorporates a number of sustainable features and locally sourced materials. This includes more than 13,400 board feet of reclaimed ash wood, locally sourced from Tacoma and used in benches, flooring, and exhibit structures. Wall insulation is made from more than 2,300 pairs of recycled blue jeans. The Visitor Center building, attached to the Seattle Center garage, achieved LEED Gold certification and has one of the largest green roofs in the Pacific Northwest.

Throughout the year, content will be updated based on visitors’ contributions to the exhibits. For school or other groups and the public, the foundation also plans to host foundation videos, presentations, and public talks at the Visitor Center theater.

The Visitor Center, located at 500 Fifth Avenue North in Seattle, is open to the public Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. To learn more, visit www.gatesfoundation.org, or find the Gates Foundation Visitor Center on Facebook and Twitter.

'Call for everything': Police scanner recording reveals early moments of Newtown tragedy

Wednesday Dec 19, 2012 8:16 AM

A Connecticut State Police officer runs with a shotgun following the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.

BY TRACY CONNOR, NBC NEWS

Police radio traffic from the Newtown school shooting shows emergency responders initially thought there might be two gunmen on the loose and were not aware of the extent of the carnage inside Sandy Hook Elementary School.

But the scope of the tragedy became more evident minute by minute, until authorities at the scene were heard asking for more help: “Call for everything” and “Do you know if anyone brought a mass casualty kit?”

Then, an hour after the first call, the horror of the crime was laid bare as an officer at the scene spoke of “victims” in a closet.

“There’s a teacher and 18 kids there,” he said in a grim voice.

The communications were not officially released, but were posted on YouTube by a scanner monitor and authenticated by police.

Some of the dialogue is encrypted or garbled, but the transmissions that can be heard – with the sound of sirens blaring in the background — provide a glimpse of how Friday’s massacre unfolded through the eyes of police and paramedics.

The recordings begin at 9:35 a.m. with a dispatcher calmly reporting a 911 call about “somebody shooting in the building,” followed two minutes later by the chilling update that a caller was “continuing to hear what he believes to be gunfire.”

One dispatcher notifies responding officers that a teacher reported seeing “two shooters, running past the gym.”

“Make sure you have your vests on,” a voice cautions officers in the early minutes.

There was, of course, just one gunman, as authorities later learned – Adam Lanza, 20, who used a rifle to kill 20 children ages 6 and 7 and six school staffers before committing suicide.

The radio transmissions suggest police and paramedics had no idea of the scope of the tragedy as they raced toward Sandy Hook.

“I will need two ambulances,” one dispatcher says five minutes after the initial report.

Three minutes later came the first hint of casualties, a person in Room 1 with a “wound to a foot.”

Another three minutes and dispatchers got their first sign the toll could grow: “We’ve got an injured person in room Number 9 with numerous gunshot wounds.”

At 9:49 a.m., an officer described what may have been Lanza shooting himself with one of his handguns as cops swarmed the building.

“Shots were fired about three minutes ago,” the officer said. “Quiet at the time.”

Four minutes later came word that Lanza was dead.

“One suspect down. The building has now been cleared,” a voice said. Then, a cataloguing of Lanza’s arsenal: “Multiple weapons, including one rifle and handguns.”

It had been a half hour since the killer blasted his way into the hilltop school that housed 600 students in kindergarten through fourth grade.

There had been no mention on open channels of how many people had died. But at 10 a.m., there was a frantic call, in police lingo, for ambulances.

“We need buses here. ASAP,” said someone at the scene.

“Send the ambulance right up to me … Get the bus! Get the bus!”

Moments later, came this advisory: “You might want to see if the surrounding towns can send EMS personnel. We’re running out real quick.”

Another minute and it was becoming clear that Newtown was dealing with a tragedy of unprecedented proportions.

“Call for everything,” said the voice on the radio.

That gave way to radio chatter about logistics – the creation of a triage center and staging area where panicked parents could be reunited with children who survived.

There was talk of four children who had fled the campus after the shooting and were being brought back as police tried to account for every student.

Then came the horrifying revelation about victims in a closet, and a directive that suggested police were not expecting to find many survivors among the victims:

“Hold all other ambulances.”

JOURNAL ARCHIVE: - posted by H.V.O.M - Kerry Wayne Burgess 2:34 PM Pacific Time Seattle USA Friday 29 March 2013 - http://hvom.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-flying-doctor-of-kenya.html


You see, Lindsay Dawn Mackenzie hates the British royalty. That's why she has played along with her fake birthdate for so long. She reports her birth year is 1978 but is 1975. That's why the actor from the 1993 "Star Trek" has a 1975 birthdate.

My biological father, whom I don't think I have ever actually met, and that I know I had never actually met before 1989, also hates the British monarchy, his biological mother.

He resents her for sending him off to be raised by the butler, basically,

I don't know why he resents me. He certainly resented me in the year 2006. He sure as hell resents me here in the year 2013.

I wrote once before in a private email about the question I posed to myself about whether the sudden realization that my life in DeQueen Arkansas would make me also resent my biological relations to the British monarchy and I was thinking again just today that I do not resent them.

I was thinking back today to my life growing up in DeQueen and really the only things I did not like about it was things I could have changed personally. So if I resent anybody then I should resent myself.

I think back to that trailer park we lived and why should I resent anything about that? Sure, we weren't wealthy by any means but so what? Why did I deserve to live a life of luxury?

I think back to that trailer we lived in and I think about the nights I would try to sleep at night and I would hear the rats that infested that place scratching on the walls and that wasn't very pleasant. I didn't have any control over that life as an eight year old but why should I blame Thedia for that? She was working to support two kids as a single mother and I never had any reason to complain about her.

Eventually we moved into a house in DeQueen residential areas, after she and the Vietnam veteran finally divorced, the guy whose birthdate was July 20th, and that house was bug-infested and rodent-infested but it was better than that trailer.

I've had a lot of thoughts in recent months about her that really disturb me, thoughts about truths I would discover in the 1990's and that were blocked from my conscious awareness sometime later. I still am not certain about the truth and I have not written anywhere about the really bad suspicions I have.

So anyway, we moved to DeQuincy Avenue to a rental house and that is when I got some payback against the dirty rats.

Ah, that was the big change there. The new Kerry, you sons-of-bitches wall-scratching rodents. You met you match now. Now I got a BB gun.

In the back room of that house is where the garbage was stored until the trucks carried it off. At some point I discovered a hole in the floor where the rats would come up from beneath the house to go for the garbage.

I would sit there for hours and wait for the sorry little bastards to raise their heads from the hole and I would shoot them with my BB gun. After a couple times, I was dissatisfied with that approach because I would either miss or they would see me and drop back in the hole without getting shot.

I wanted to cut notches in the wood of my BB gun for confirmed kills.

So that's when I got patient. I would wait for the little bastards to crawl all the way out of the hole and onto the floor and they would get hit by a copper ball bearing projectile from my air rifle. One time, I hit one but didn't kill and it ran towards me and into the bags of trash behind me and I had kick things out of the way so I could stomp it to death as it scurried around the room trying to find an escape.

After a while I starting leaving pieces of cheese next to the hole to bait them out so I could shoot them with my BB gun. I had quite a few notches cut into the wood of the shoulder stock.

Project Nike

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Project Nike, was a U.S. Army project, proposed in May 1945 by Bell Laboratories, to develop a line-of-sight anti-aircraft missile system. The project delivered the United States' first operational anti-aircraft missile system, the Nike Ajax, in 1953. A great number of the technologies and rocket systems used for developing the Nike Ajax were re-used for a number of functions, many of which were given the "Nike" name (after Nike, the goddess of victory from Greek mythology). The missile's first-stage solid rocket booster became the basis for many types of rocket including the Nike Hercules missile and NASA's Nike Smoke rocket, used for upper-atmosphere research.

I need to think back more to my hobby as a kid with model rockets from Estes. There are probably some notable clues to that. I remember the first time I launched a multi-stage rocket. I was in a hurry to launch it after constructing it and did not give the glue enough time to dry. I launched it from the practice field at that elementary school in De Queen. Scott Packnett was out there with me that day. The second stage didn't separate. Scott asked me if he should catch it as it floated down towards him on the parachute and I told him to go ahead and grab it. Can't remember how much damage occurred from the main stage burning into the second stage.

SHIPBOARD RADARS AND FIRE-CONTROL SYSTEMS

Page 393


Target Designation Systems (TDS) and Weapons Designation Equipment (WDE)

These are, in effect, analog buffers between the search radar picture in CIC and the ship's FCS. They replaced designation by sound-powered phone (the talker in CIC relaying coordinates to the director, which searched around them to acquire the target). Electrical designation eliminated both the dead time and the errors involved in such a procedure. These systems also, in effect, maintained a memory of important targets from which the FCS could select the next to engage. These systems were superseded by electronic CDS.

TDS Mk 5 probably survives aboard FRAM destroyers in the Korean, Mexican, and Turkish navies. It employs a horizontal PPI repeater (actually a television) with four joysticks (supervisor and three designators). Each joystick moves a designation hook (semicircle) on the screen. Repeat-back hooks show the directors' positions. A designator manually tracks a target until the appropriate director picks it up. Maximum displayed range is 30 nm (60 kyd). Although this analog system does not impose any target velocity limit, clearly very fast targets cannot be manually tracked for designation.

WDEs were the equivalents for missile ships. The surviving type is Mk 1 (WDS Mk 4), designed for Tartar ships, and probably on board the Greek Adams class (the Spanish Baleares class probably lost its Mk 1 systems when the Tritan CDS was installed). All other surviving missile ships of U.S. design have computer CDS, hence, do not need an analog WDE.

This is a more sophisticated system, with six rate-aided tracking channels: a single designator can juggle multiple targets. The system employs a pair of Mk 37-0 target selection and tracking consoles connected with the missile system computer. Each displays raw search radar video. The operator inputs a target into a tracking channel by means of a pantograph, in effect measuring its speed and course on subsequent radar scans. Once the target has been entered, the missile computer repeats back its projected position as synthetic video, which the operator compares to the continuing search radar presentation. Each operator is responsible for three targets, but each console can display all six. Targets are selected for engagement on an additional director-assignment console (Mk 47), whose PPI shows all six targets (with a velocity vector for one of them) as well as ship track and missile-system blind zones. A second monitor shows target speed, height, time interval for missile-director assignment (assignments resulting in earliest and latest intercepts), and remaining busy time for fire-control channels currently assigned. When a target is assigned, the system computer slews the two directors and causes them to search to acquire it. A fourth console, for weapons assigment (Mk 48), controls the launcher. Its operator makes the final evaluation of the blind zones and of the range, altitude, and seeker-angle limitations of the missiles. The Mk 48 operator actually fires.

Gerald Ford

XXXVIII President of the United States: 1974 - 1977

458 - Statement on Signing the Consumer Product Safety Commission Improvements Act of 1976.

May 12, 1976

THE CONSUMER Product Safety Commission was established in 1974 to protect consumers from unreasonable risk of injury from the use of hazardous products. Today, I have signed S. 644, a bill which will enable the Commission to more effectively carry out this important mandate.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission Improvements Act of 1976 expands the Commission's authority by permitting the issuance of preliminary injunctions to prohibit distribution of products which present a substantial hazard and by establishing new procedures and timetables within which consumer safety standards must be promulgated.

Further, the act authorizes Federal preemption of State product safety laws in certain enumerated circumstances. This will not only guarantee that consumers have adequate protection but will free industry from the costly burden of attempting to comply with a bewildering patchwork of State and local safety standards.

If consumer product regulation is to have real meaning, adequate tools must be provided the Commission responsible for protecting the American consumer. The act I have signed provides such tools.

Note: As enacted, S. 644, approved May 11, 1976, is Public Law 94-284 (90 Stat. 503).

AH-64 APACHE ATTACK HELICOPTER


Historical Snapshot

The AH-64 Apache was designed to be an extremely tough survivor under combat. The prototype Apache made its first flight in 1975 as the YAH-64, and in 1976, Hughes received a full-scale development contract. In 1982, the Army approved the program, now known as AH-64A Apache, for production. Deliveries began from the McDonnell Douglas plant at Mesa, Ariz., in 1984 — the year Hughes Helicopters became part of McDonnell Douglas.

A target acquisition and designation sight/pilot night-vision sensor and other advanced technologies added to its effectiveness in the ground support role. To reduce costs and simplify logistics, the Apache used the same T700 engines as the Army’s Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk utility helicopter and its naval cousin, the SH-60 Seahawk.

Highly maneuverable and heavily armed, the combat-proven Apache helicopter is the backbone of the U.S. Army’s all-weather, ground-support capability. The AH-64D Apache Longbow, which first flew as a prototype on May 14, 1992, provided a quantum leap in capability over the AH-64A. The Apache Longbow’s fire-control radar and advanced avionics suite gave combat pilots the ability to rapidly detect, classify, prioritize, and engage stationary or moving enemy targets at standoff ranges in nearly all weather conditions.

Chaplain Corps History: The Four Chaplains

January 28, 2014

By John Brinsfield

WASHINGTON (Jan. 28, 2014) -- It was Feb. 3, 1943, and the U.S. Army Transport Dorchester was one of three ships in a convoy, moving across the Atlantic from Newfoundland to an American base in Greenland. A converted luxury liner, the Dorchester was crowded to capacity, carrying 902 servicemen, merchant seamen and civilian workers.

It was only 150 miles from its destination when shortly after midnight, an officer aboard the German submarine U2 spotted it. After identifying and targeting the ship, he gave orders to fire. The hit was decisive, striking the ship, far below the water line. The initial blast killed scores of men and seriously wounded many more.

Others, stunned by the explosion were groping in the darkness. Panic and chaos quickly set in! Men were screaming, others crying or franticly trying to get lifeboats off the ship.

Through the pandemonium, four men spread out among the Soldiers, calming the frightened, tending the wounded and guiding the disoriented toward safety. They were four Army chaplains, Lt. George Fox, a Methodist; Lt. Alexander Goode, a Jewish Rabbi; Lt. John Washington, a Roman Catholic Priest; and Lt. Clark Poling, a Dutch Reformed minister.

Quickly and quietly the four chaplains worked to bring calm to the men. As soldiers began to find their way to the deck of the ship, many were still in their underwear, where they were confronted by the cold winds blowing down from the arctic.

Petty Officer John J. Mahoney, reeling from the cold, headed back towards his cabin. "Where are you going'" a voice of calm in the sea of distressed asked' "To get my gloves," Mahoney replied. "Here, take these," said Rabbi Goode as he handed a pair of gloves to the young officer. "I can't take those gloves," Mahoney replied. "Never mind," the Rabbi responded. "I have two pairs." It was only long after that Mahoney realized that the chaplain never intended to leave the ship.

Once topside, the chaplains opened a storage locker and began distributing life jackets. It was then that Engineer Grady Clark witnessed an astonishing sight. When there were no more lifejackets in the storage room, the chaplains simultaneously removed theirs and gave them to four frightened young men. When giving their life jackets, Rabbi Goode did not call out for a Jew; Father Washington did not call out for a Catholic; nor did Fox or Poling call out for a Protestant. They simply gave their life jackets to the next man in line. One survivor would later call it "It was the finest thing I have seen or hope to see this side of heaven."

As the ship went down, survivors in nearby rafts could see the four chaplains -- arms linked and braced against the slanting deck. Their voices could also be heard offering prayers and singing hymns.

Of the 902 men aboard the U.S.A.T. Dorchester, only 230 survived. Before boarding the Dorchester back in January, Chaplain Poling had asked his father to pray for him, "Not for my safe return, that wouldn't be fair. Just pray that I shall do my duty...never be a coward...and have the strength, courage and understanding of men. Just pray that I shall be adequate."

Although the Distinguished Service Cross and Purple Heart were later awarded posthumously Congress wished to confer the Medal of Honor but was blocked by the stringent requirements which required heroism performed under fire. So a posthumous Special Medal for Heroism, The Four Chaplains' Medal, was authorized by Congress and awarded by the President on January 18, 1961.

It was never given before and will never be given again.

It urges full support of religious institutions to the end that we may add strength and meaning to the religious virtues--charity, mercy, brother love, and faith in Almighty God. These spiritual concepts are the inspiration of the American way. It was once said, "America is great because America is good--and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great."

By strengthening religious institutions, the Committee on Religion in American Life is helping to keep America good. Thus it helps each of us to keep America great.

I earnestly hope that during November, and throughout this and every year, each American citizen will actively support the religious institution of his own choice.

Note: The President's statement was broadcast nationally over radio and television.

Harry S. Truman

XXXIII President of the United States: 1945-1953

191 - Letter in Response to a Telegram on the Problems of Scientists in Government Service.

September 17, 1948


Dear Dr. :

I wish to thank you and the seven other scientists for your telegram of September 6, 1948, in which you gave me your views on a matter which has been of increasing concern to me--the maintenance of working conditions under which scientists will be encouraged to engage in Government service.

Your views on this subject seem to me so important and timely that I commented on them at some length in my September 13 address before the opening session of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington. I am sending you herewith a copy of that address since it incorporates my views about the situation which disturbs you.

The Nation must protect itself against espionage, infiltration of foreign agents, and untrustworthiness of governmental personnel, particularly in its atomic energy plants and laboratories. I am determined that we shall protect ourselves effectively, but I am equally determined that we shall maintain our safeguards within the framework of our democratic principles. With this I know you agree.

I have fought to keep the subject of atomic energy out of partisan politics, to preserve it as a trust for the American people. I shall continue to do so to the full extent of my powers as head of the Executive Branch of our Government despite the opposing efforts of persons, however highly placed, who understand neither the significance of atomic energy nor the meaning of genuine national security in a democratic nation. As always, public opinion will decide the merits of this controversy. It is your responsibility as well as mine to see that public opinion is informed as to the real issues and the merits or demerits of the opposing views. I enlist your help in order that this objective may be achieved.

Very sincerely yours,

HARRY S. TRUMAN

Ronald Reagan

XL President of the United States: 1981 - 1989

Remarks at a Ronald W. Reagan Scholarship Fundraising Dinner for Eureka College

September 23, 1986

The President. Thank you, President George Hearn, the president of Eureka, and thank you, everyone here tonight and all of you who are doing so much. We're here for something that Nancy and I hold close to our hearts—Eureka's Reagan scholarships. And please forgive me if I reminisce for a few moments, because you could just be bathed in warm nostalgia. [Laughter]

Whenever I think of Eureka, I am filled with nostalgia for that campus 'neath the elms. It had a slogan for many years of being a small school with a worldwide influence. And something about that school doesn't seem to leave you at all. Everything good that has happened to me in the years since had its beginning there, as well as for so many others. It was a wonderful time in my life that wasn't all taken up on the football field, although I did let football and other extracurricular activities eat into my study time. And as a result, my grade average was closer to the C level required for eligibility— [laughter] —than it was to straight A's. I think someone told me, to my surprise, that I wound up with a B-minus. So, when I got that honorary degree that Eureka gave me some years ago— [laughter] —I told the audience that it only amplified a sense of shame that I had felt for many years, because I always had had the sneaking suspicion that that first degree they gave me was honorary. [Laughter]

I learned a lot at Eureka, and not just about economics, which was my major. I think the principal thing I learned about economics as a major was that if you could place all the economists end to end, they'd never reach a conclusion. [Laughter] That's a lesson that serves me well in my current occupation as an embarrasser of economists.

As I said, I learned a lot at Eureka. I learned, for example, about humility. Now, that happens when you've been one of at least a number of football heroes in high school, and suddenly you find yourself sitting on the bench as second or third string. And as with my economic lessons, I've had opportunities to learn a little more about humility every once in awhile since. I remember after I'd made about 50 feature motion pictures and was doing a series on television that lasted 8 years, I was walking down Fifth Avenue in New York one day, and about 30 feet ahead of me a man coming my way stopped, and he pointed, and he yelled, "I know you! I see you all the time on that screen and on that television!" And everybody on the street stopped, and they formed kind of two lines, and he stalked me down the center. [Laughter] And I'm at one end, and here he comes, and he's fumbling in his pocket all the time and talking about me and how much he knows—what I've done and everything else. And he gets to me and pulls out a pen and a piece of paper for an autograph and says, "Ray Milland." [Laughter] So, I signed, Ray Milland. There was no sense in disappointing him. [Laughter]

But one thing I'll always cherish about Eureka besides lessons in football and humility is that the college took a chance on me. Now, my family couldn't pay for the schooling. We didn't live on the wrong side of the tracks, but we lived close enough that we could hear the whistles. [Laughter] But what I couldn't earn in summers—and I did work every summer and saved every dollar that I earned in order to help—why, the college made up with a scholarship, jobs, and, yes, letting me defer part of my tuition until after graduation. And I wasn't alone in that. They did that for a number of other students. And this was in the depths of the Great Depression. And incidentally, one of those jobs—washing dishes—was one of the better jobs I've ever had. [Laughter] I performed it in a girls dormitory. [Laughter]

But seriously, in that time of such great strain—and when you can imagine what happened to the endowment of a small college like that in that great crash and the Great Depression, and you went to class every day and knew that the professors who were teaching you, and without any grumble or complaint, had not been paid for weeks and weeks and weeks—and that the townspeople and the merchants and the grocers and so forth carried them on the books—just with the knowledge that somehow things would turn out all right. Those were Depression years, and I'm so happy about the scholarship program that you've done me the honor of giving in my name. It gives the students the opportunity to work for their schooling, and it also gives them something else I was lucky enough to have—a mentor. That's a part of the program—someone who will take an interest in them and their future.

Now, in my case it was a fellow from Kansas City named Sid Aultschuler. Sid was a businessman there. And my summer job for 7 years—part in high school and then through college—was at a beach, a river beach on the beautiful Rock River in a natural forest park called Lowell Park, named for James Russell Lowell, whose family had given it to the city. And there was a lodge there, and people would come out from the cities, like Kansas City and Chicago and so forth, with their families. And it was one of those things—I don't know whether it still goes on today—in which they had come there with their parents as children, and now they came as parents with their children. And I'd teach their kids to swim.

And finally, I was there for that last summer after I'd graduated, because I had to get enough money to try to go out and find a job—1932, the lowest year of the Great Depression. And many of those men during the summers had said to me that when I got out of college, come see them. And I had sort of relied on that. But by 1932 many of those weren't coming back to the lodge anymore. They had their own problems, and they weren't saying that anymore. But Sid Aultschuler was there, and I taught his two small daughters to swim that same summer. And then Sid, out of all them, said to me: "If you can tell me what you really want to do and what you want to get into," he said, "I think I have some connections that, if it touches on any of those, that I can help, even in these hard times." But he said, "You're going to have to tell me what you want to do." Well, there I was with my degree in economics, a graduate with a bachelor of arts degree, and it hadn't occurred to me really what I wanted to do or anything except get a job of some kind or other. It was those kind of times. But he had laid it on me.

And I finally went home, and I laid awake half the night. And finally, it dawned on me that some of my extracurricular activities, in addition to football, had rubbed off—playing Captain Stanhope in "Journey's End" in the drama class play of the year, going out with the glee club, and doing comedy routines—I didn't sing, I talked. [Laughter] But in a little town in Illinois back in the thirties, you didn't go out and say, "I want to be an actor." Well, anyway, I went to him, and I said, "I think I can tell you what it is. I would like to be in the world of entertainment." And then, knowing that radio might be the shortcut to anything else, I said, "I'd like to get into radio. I think I could be a sports announcer."

Well, I'd named something in which he had no connections at all. [Laughter] But Sid gave me the greatest advice in the world, and all you young people who are listening, pay attention to your mentors. He said, "Maybe it's just as well that I don't have any connections, because," he said, "if I got you a job someplace, the man giving you the job wouldn't be interested in you. He'd be giving you the job because of me." He said, "Everyplace there are people that know that this isn't going to last forever, this Depression. They are going to know that their future depends on getting young people into their business." So, he said, "What you should do is just start going to radio stations. You needn't tell them whether you want to be a sports announcer. Just tell them that you believe in the future of that business, and you'll take any job in order to get inside of radio, and then take your chances from there."

Well, I did that. It meant hitchhiking, and I figured that if I started at the top, at the big stations in Chicago and the networks, that wherever I got a job might be further up the line than if I started at the bottom. Well, I don't know how many stations I went to. But he told me that someplace along the line I would meet a man of this kind. And he said, "Remember, a salesman may have to make 200 calls before he makes a sale." And I wound up down in the Quad Cities, Iowa and Illinois. A wonderful old Scotchman who'd played a role in my life told me that they had just hired an announcer the day before I got there. Where was I? Why didn't I know about this? I didn't tell him I didn't listen to his station. [Laughter]

But on the way out, I said to myself, "How does a guy get to be a sports announcer if he can't get a job in a radio station?" And I went down to the elevator, which fortunately wasn't there, and I heard a clumping. Pete McArther was crippled up with arthritis, on two canes, and he was coming down the hall, and he was calling in a very profane way for that big SOB to stop and wait. So, I waited for him, and he came up, and he said, "What's that you said about sports?" And I said, "Well, I think I'd like to do that and that I could do that." He said, "Could you tell me about a football game and make me see it if I'm sitting at home listening to my radio?" And I said, "I think so."

He took me in the studio, stood me in front of a microphone, and he said: "When the red light goes on, you'll be alone here. I'll be in another room listening. You start broadcasting an imaginary football game." [Laughter] Well, I remembered a game that we had won in the last 20 seconds with a 65-yard touchdown. The key to the play, an off-tackle smash, was for the right guard running interference to take out the first man in the secondary in order to let our man break loose. In the game I missed my block— [laughter] —but our man made the touchdown. I replayed that fourth quarter for him, and in the replay, I nailed that fellow with a—[inaudible]. [Laughter]

Now, I was right about one thing. Deep in my heart it was always acting I really wanted, and I thought that radio would be a quick jump for that, and it turned out to be. There are some in Washington who wish I'd jumped in the river instead. [Laughter] That wouldn't have helped them, because I was the lifeguard—that's what my job was. [Laughter]

Well, Sid Aultschuler isn't here, but two mentors for those scholars are—Al Haig and Selwa Roosevelt. And I just want to say thanks to them, and let me also say thanks to someone who isn't a part of the mentor program, but who I know has taken a special interest in one of our scholars—Strom Thurmond. This young man who's here is an intern in Strom's office. And I thank all of you, and the kind of generosity that you're showing this evening is the kind that built not just Eureka College but America itself.

And could I just take a minute, because maybe some of you who are being so kind don't know very much about that little school out there on the prairie. Well, in the first place, it is the oldest coeducational college west of the Alleghenies. And it was started by some people who arrived there in that part of Illinois in a wagon train from the East. And a man named Ben Major, whose family still lives there in the college town, his descendants, decided that this is where they would stay. He was the leader. He sank an ax in a stump, and he said, "Here's where we will build our school." And they built their school before they built their homes. And it became Walnut Grove Academy. And then, when it graduated above that, it became Eureka College. But this little school, so rich with tradition and that has contributed so much, and people like myself who went there—you were never too poor, but what, if they could, they could make it possible for you to get that education.

There used to be a giant elm, which finally has given up, outside of one of the buildings called Burgess. It was called recruiting elm, outside of Burgess Hall, because Captain Burgess in the Civil War stood down beneath that tree and called up to the classrooms of the one building at that time of the college for the young men to come down and enlist in the Union Army. Now, it isn't true that I was one of the young men there. [Laughter]

But as I say, tradition that is so rich, and as you've been told, the wonderful thing about a small liberal arts college of that kind is not only that you get a good education, but you can't hide. You can't just go to class and back to your quarters again as you could in some of the great universities. I've been a regent of the 9-campus University of California, by way of being Governor. I was a member of the board of the 23-college, State college system of California. As a sports announcer I saw the inside of a great many of the great universities.

If I had it to do over again, I would go to Eureka College. It means that much, and I think it meant that much to me. You can't hide. Everybody is needed, whether it's for glee club or student officers or athletics or whatever it may be. They grab you, and they bring you in, and you find out talents and abilities that you never knew you had.

So, I just want you to know how deeply grateful I am and that what you have done and what you are doing for this institution is for something that is very worthwhile. And maybe there aren't as many of them left in the country as there should be, but I pray to God there will always be a Eureka College, there in the heart of Illinois.

Thank you all very much. God bless you all.

Mr. Pfautch. I have two very brief presentations. Mr. President, I did not go to Eureka College, and I have long lost a sense of priorities. May I present the spouse of our honorary cochairman and the Chief of Staff, the Honorable Donald Regan—who, by the way, is a distinguished Harvard alumnus.

And now a special presentation by the president of the student body of Eureka College, who is also a Reagan scholar, and he is Mr. Rodney Gould. Will you welcome him?

Mr. Gould. Mrs. Reagan, Mr. President, just one thing before I get started. I've been asked to remind everyone to please stand after this presentation and join the Eureka College madrigal singers in our alma mater, "'Neath the Elms."

There is also another thing that I'd like to say. Three years ago we met the President in the White House, in 1983. And at that time we were all clustered around the President and Mrs. Reagan. And I said to Mrs. Reagan then, I said, "Thanks for what you have done in the fight against drugs, because there could be a lot of people here right now, a lot of people in college on scholarships if it wasn't for drugs." This lady hasn't jumped on the bandwagon; she's been a bandwagon. I just want to thank Mrs. Reagan.

As you could tell, the President loves Eureka College. We love him there. He has been a supporter, not since he has been in office but ever since he graduated. He came back and was the honorary chairman of pumpkin parades. [Laughter] When we needed a new library in 1969, we called President Reagan. When we needed a new physical education center, we asked Mr. Reagan. He has been there for us as a recruiter, contributor, confidante, board of trustee member for two terms. And as a student, it is correct, he was student body president, also. He was a swim team member. He won national honor for a play, "Aria Da Capo."

The President. "Aria Da Capo."

Mr. Gould. He won a national honor for his role presentation there. He was also on the football team. He was a big part of Eureka College then. He still is. But when he graduated, he never received a class ring. So, on behalf of the students of Eureka College, the alumni of Eureka College, and also the Ronald W. Reagan scholars, Mr. President, I'd like to present you with this 1932 class ring.

The President asked me to remind you that his school colors are maroon and gold, and thank you.

Now, if we all rise and join in singing of "'Neath the Elms Upon the Campus."

The President. would you like to say something? An after dinner speaker gets an encore? [Laughter]

No, you have just heard it, the alma mater there. And, again, I can only just say, I'm so grateful to all of you. See, I couldn't afford one in 1932. [Laughter] But another tradition that I don't know whether it exists today—and then I will quit—is: Nancy has my letter sweater.

Thank you all, again. God bless you all.

Note: The President spoke at 8:18 p.m. at the Willard Intercontinental Hotel.

Dwight D. Eisenhower

XXXIV President of the United States: 1953-1961

57 - Statement by the President on Releasing the Science Advisory Committee's "Introduction to Outer Space."

March 26, 1958

IN CONNECTION WITH a study of space science and technology made at my request, the President's Science Advisory Committee, of which Dr. James R. Killian is Chairman, has prepared a brief "Introduction to Outer Space" for the non-technical reader. This is not science fiction. This is a sober, realistic presentation prepared by leading scientists.

I have found this statement so informative and interesting that I wish to share it with all the people of America and indeed with all the people of the earth. I hope that it can be widely disseminated by all news media for it clarifies many aspects of space and space technology in a way which can be helpful to all people as the United States proceeds with its peaceful program in space science and exploration. Every person has the opportunity to share through understanding in the adventures which lie ahead.

This statement of the Science Advisory Committee makes clear the opportunities which a developing space technology can provide to extend man's knowledge of the earth, the solar system, and the universe. These opportunities reinforce my conviction that we and other nations have a great responsibility to promote the peaceful use of space and to utilize the new knowledge obtainable from space science and technology for the benefit of all mankind.

Damnit, I know I wrote several times about that woman in Coeur d'Alene Idaho. On 27 June 2004 when I crossed the finish line of that 2.4 mile swim course and 112 mile bicycle course and 26.2 mile running course she was one of two women who were apparently volunteers who were assigned to escort the course finishers away from the finish line and towards the exit area for the course finishers. On the website for the Ironman Coeur d'Alene 2004 triathlon I later watched the video that company, a racketeering organization famously associated with the State of Hawaii, and I could clearly see the video of where she put her hand on my chest. After they escorted me out of the finish line area and directed me to a tent where she told me I could find pizza, which I did but that wasn't as appetizing as it sounded, she made the comment about how she knew I did not want to be there and I responded about how I did want to be there. I was standing there about 11:20 PM in my Nike Pegasus running shoes, after walking much of the marathon course, and the day was 27 June 2004.

Ronald Reagan

XL President of the United States: 1981 - 1989

Proclamation 5574 - Designation of the Rose as the National Floral Emblem of the United States of America

November 20, 1986

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation

Americans have always loved the flowers with which God decorates our land. More often than any other flower, we hold the rose dear as the symbol of life and love and devotion, of beauty and eternity. For the love of man and woman, for the love of mankind and God, for the love of country, Americans who would speak the language of the heart do so with a rose.

We see proofs of this everywhere. The study of fossils reveals that the rose has existed in America for age upon age. We have always cultivated roses in our gardens. Our first President, George Washington, bred roses, and a variety he named after his mother is still grown today. The White House itself boasts a beautiful Rose Garden. We grow roses in all our fifty States. We find roses throughout our art, music, and literature. We decorate our celebrations and parades with roses. Most of all, we present roses to those we love, and we lavish them on our altars, our civil shrines, and the final resting places of our honored

The American people have long held a special place in their hearts for roses. Let us continue to cherish them, to honor the love and devotion they represent, and to bestow them on all we we love just as God has bestowed them on us.

The Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 159, has designated the rose as the National Floral Emblem of the United States and authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation declaring this fact.

Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the rose as the National Floral Emblem of the United States of America.

In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twentieth day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eleventh.
