Narrator: [Opening Narration] Martin Sloan, age thirty-six. Occupation: vice-president, ad agency, in charge of media. This is not just a Sunday drive for Martin Sloan. He perhaps doesn't know it at the time - but it's an exodus. Somewhere up the road, he's looking for sanity. And somewhere up the road, he'll find something else.

There was also that one doctor who told me that he was in charge of that group as well as the V.A. so that explains why the V.A. will have no sympathy in the action that must be taken to stomp down this bastion of The Mob.

"The Reflex"

"You've gone too far this time"
But I'm dancing on the valentine
I tell you somebody's fooling around
With my chances on the dangerline
I'll cross that bridge when I find it
Another day to make my stand
High time is no time for deciding
If I should find a helping hand

[CHORUS]
So why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it
Buy time don't lose it
The reflex is an only child he's waiting in the park
The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does
Leaves you answered with a question mark

I'm on a ride and I want to get off
But they won't slow down the roundabout
I sold the Renoir and the TV set
Don't want to be around when this gets out

[CHORUS]

Oh the reflex what a game he's hiding all the cards
The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
Evey little thing the reflex does
Leaves you answered with a question mark

William J. Clinton

XLII President of the United States: 1993-2001

Remarks on the Swearing-In of Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Louis Freeh

September 1, 1993

Thank you very much, General Reno, for that fine introduction and for your exemplary work. I want to thank, as the Attorney General did, Floyd Clarke for his distinguished work over a lifetime for the FBI and his work as the Acting Director. Also, I think bound to thank Judge Freeh's family, his wife, his children, his parents, who are here, for their willingness to support him and for the work they did to make him what he is today.

Finally, let me say by way of introduction, I am profoundly honored to be here in the presence today of the person Judge Freeh picked to swear him in, Judge Frank Johnson. To those of us who grew up in the South, Frank Johnson was a symbol of respect for law, the determination to live by it, and the belief that all of us who live in this country, without regard to the color of our skin, are entitled to a fair shot at life's brass ring. And I thank you for being here today, Judge.

I am also honored to be here today among the thousands of brave men and women who make up our FBI, people who continue to be our elite force in the fight against crime. You should know that I have special respect for FBI agents. When I was Governor of my State, a former agent served as my chief of staff, and other former agents served in my administration.

Today we come to celebrate the elevation of a genuine law enforcement legend, Judge Louis Freeh, to take the reins of this great Agency. It is a new day for the FBI. Judge Freeh has agreed to take on a difficult task, but no job is more important. And I want to thank the leaders of the Congress on a bipartisan basis, beginning with Senators Biden and Hatch and Mitchell and Dole, for their historic and rapid move to confirm Judge Freeh virtually as soon as I nominated him.

The FBI's mandate is broad. Its reach is sweeping. Its 24,000 employees track down violators of civil rights, people who defraud the health care system, those who run drugs ultimately into the veins of our children. The FBI scientists and technicians perform feats of investigative wizardry that can find wrong-doers through a fragment of a fingerprint or a shard of a bomb. Its agents show commonly that bravery is uncommon everywhere but the FBI, the Armed Forces, and a few other places in our country.

There are many heroes that do their work in the ordinary course of business: people like Special Agent Daniel Miller of Minneapolis, who subdued an armed bank robber by hand to ensure that no one else got hurt; Special Agent Neil Moran of New York, who was severely injured when he used his car to block a suspect's getaway vehicle rather than risk wounding his colleagues with gunfire; people like the 45 others who received Agency medals over the past 3 years. All of you have served well, and America is justly proud of you.

Today's FBI operates in a new and challenging world, without that part of the Agency's mission that was driven by the cold war but with new and even more immediate threats. Terrorism once seemed far from our shores, an atrocity visited on people in other lands. Now, after the attack on the World Trade Center, we know that we, too, are vulnerable. Violent crime has been frightful but limited. But now armed drug gangs stalk the streets of our cities, equipped like mercenary armies, randomly cutting down innocent bystanders in a primitive struggle for territory.

The FBI has already begun to meet these challenges head on. Through the safe streets program, the Agency has begun working with State and local police forces to combat drug gangs and to reclaim our neighborhoods. But we must do more, and we will. Today, I was given a pin which I am wearing that commemorates the FBI's drug prevention program. In churches, in schools and Scout troops all across this country, agents work with young people to stop drug use before it starts.

The FBI has always worked at the cutting edge of law enforcement technology. Today, the scientists and technicians are exploring new frontiers, pioneering the use of DNA analysis to ferret out the guilty and to protect the innocent. And in the interest of justice and effectiveness, the Agency has begun to open its doors to full equality for minorities and for women. We must do more, and we will.

Now, amid this swirl of change, a new era at the FBI is about to begin. The FBI has passed through some troubled times, but I believe those times are over. The men and women who work day and night to protect the public never let us down. And now, a vigorous new Director is going to lead the FBI into the next century so that the men and women who work for the FBI will be led and not let down.

In a few moments, Judge Freeh will take the oath of office. He is, as has been widely chronicled and now is as widely known by his fellow Americans, a brilliant investigator, a tough prosecutor, a born leader. He has the unique combination of experience, courage, and prudent judgment that I believe the directorship of the FBI demands. A career as the scourge of drugrunners and terrorists, tempered by his service as a Federal judge, in my judgment makes him the ideal Director of the FBI. He does have, as the Attorney General said, both humanity and humility to go with experience and brilliance and toughness and judgment. Even those who serve with him respect him and also notice all these qualities. I must say, I have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support for Judge Freeh, and I have to tell you one example which may surprise even the biggest supporters of the judge. One fellow wrote in and told us that he'd had a lot of experience with the criminal justice system. I'd like to paraphrase the letter we received—the judge received. He said, "Earlier this year you sentenced me to 20 years in prison. But I want you to know that of the five judges who have sentenced me to prison, you have been by far the fairest"—[laughter]—"and I endorse your nomination to be the Director of the FBI." With all the problems we've got in this country, I hope he'll be getting a lot more of those letters in the next few years.

I believe that under the leadership of this dynamic, young Director, the FBI will capture the imagination of the American people once again and will enlist once again the millions of ordinary Americans in the work of keeping our streets safe and fighting our crimes for us in partnership with the FBI and with State and local law enforcement officials. I want the men and women of the FBI to look back on the 1990's as a decade in which the FBI became well-known and well-loved for its successes in cracking down on terrorists and drug lords, just as much as the G-men of the thirties were successful in cracking down on racketeers and mobsters.

And to Judge Freeh I say, keep showing the vision and integrity that brought you here, that earned you the esteem of all your colleagues, your countrymen and -women, and even those you sent to jail. To the men and women of the FBI I say, you are the finest we have. Just keep on doing your best, and we will stand behind you. And to the American people I say, we know that our people value law and order and safety. We are working to pass a crime bill that will put more police officers on the street. We are working to get guns out of the hands of criminals. We are working to expand the toughness of our law enforcement. Our frontline crime fighters, Attorney General Reno, Drug Policy Coordinator Lee Brown, and now the FBI Director, Louis Freeh, are putting decades of grassroots experience to work for you.

You, the American people, have a right to freedom from fear. Your families have a right to security and to safety. We won't rest until you have those rights. We ask only for your support and your cooperation as this fine Director launches what I believe will be a legendary career in the legendary Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Thank you very much.

NOTE: The President spoke at 10:16 a.m. at FBI headquarters.

New FBI Director Assails Officers' Turf Battles : Crime: At swearing-in ceremony, Freeh says law enforcers' lack of cooperation only helps criminals. His comments echo statements by Reno.

September 02, 1993 RONALD J. OSTROW TIMES STAFF WRITER

WASHINGTON — FBI Director Louis J. Freeh, taking the oath of office as the nation's top criminal investigator, said Wednesday that the country can make little progress in turning back the "plague" of crime until law enforcers stop fighting among themselves over turf.

"The turf wars must stop because they aid only the criminals," said Freeh, 43, a former federal judge, prosecutor and FBI agent.

Freeh recalled with regret interdepartmental battles that he witnessed working "in the trenches" as an FBI agent and prosecutor with officers from the New York city and state police, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and various federal agencies, including the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Secret Service.

"On almost every occasion, those battles began and ended several bureaucratic levels above the various street agents who almost always worked together competitively but effectively," he told a capacity audience in the FBI courtyard on a sunny, muggy Washington morning.

Freeh's call to end interagency fights echoed statements by his boss, Atty. Gen. Janet Reno. His remarks came one week before a task force on government efficiency, headed by Vice President Al Gore, is expected to announce its recommendation on a proposal to merge the DEA into the FBI, a move intended to end disputes and duplication in the drug war.

Under former Directors William H. Webster and William S. Sessions, the FBI improved its relations with other law enforcement agencies, which often have complained that the FBI has demanded information from them but has given little in return and has hogged the limelight in headline cases.

Even so, officials at other agencies still often gnash their teeth over what they regard as FBI arrogance and blatant attempts to claim credit for law enforcement successes.

Freeh said stepped-up cooperation "would again multiply resources against crime . . . . We should try to follow the advice which we often give our children: 'Play with your friends, be fair and honest with them and share your toys.' "

In a move seen as part of his effort to curtail interagency rivalries, Freeh recruited John S. Pritchard III, first deputy commissioner of the New York City Police Department, to help better coordinate the FBI's work with local and state law enforcement.

Pritchard, 50, who will be one of the FBI's highest-ranking blacks, worked as an agent and supervisor with Freeh at FBI headquarters and in the New York field office. Freeh also made clear that he is retaining Floyd I. Clarke as the FBI's No. 2 official.

The new director also is bringing into the FBI an unusually large number of experienced aides to work in newly created posts at the bureau, including two prosecutors who assisted on celebrated cases that helped make Freeh "a genuine law enforcement legend," as President Clinton described him at the swearing-in ceremony.

They are Robert B. Bucknam, a former Justice Department official and close friend, who helped Freeh in prosecuting the "pizza connection" drug and mob case in New York, and Howard M. Shapiro, who worked with Freeh in winning convictions of the mail bomber who killed a federal appellate judge in Alabama and a civil rights lawyer in Savannah, Ga.

Bucknam, 42, will serve as Freeh's chief of staff, and Shapiro, now a law professor at Cornell, will be Freeh's special counsel.

Freeh also is bringing in Bucknam's brother, James R. Bucknam, 31, who is also a prosecutor from the U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan. He will serve as a senior adviser and project director.

Lyndon B. Johnson

XXXVI President of the United States: 1963-1969

313 - Statement by the President Upon Signing Bill Extending the Renegotiation Act.

July 1, 1966

I HAVE signed H.R. 13431 which extends the Renegotiation Act for an additional 2-year period.

The Renegotiation Act has served this Nation well for the past 15 years.

We need this vital measure. It is another important tool in our constant quest to get a dollar's worth of value for every defense dollar spent.

Our struggle for freedom's cause in Vietnam makes the extension of this act appropriate.

The Act is just. It does not penalize a defense contractor's efficiency or deny him a fair profit. But it does determine, under carefully defined criteria, whether the profit is excessive. If so, that profit is returned to the Government.

The renegotiation process has saved large amounts for the American taxpayer.

In fiscal year 1965 alone, renegotiation resulted in refunds or price reductions of over $32 million. Since the inception of the Renegotiation Board in 1951, savings of more than $2 billion have been achieved. These totals, I might add, include actions taken directly by the Board as well as voluntary refunds made by contractors because of the existence of renegotiation.

With the very outstanding results of Secretary McNamara's cost reduction program, with the skill and dedication of our Government contracting officers, and through the renegotiation process, we are fulfilling the pledge I made to give this country the strongest defense force at the lowest possible cost.

Note: As enacted, H.R. 13431, approved by the President on June 30, 1966, is Public Law 89-480 (80 Stat. 232).
