THE KILLERS

It started with a low light,
Next thing I knew they ripped me from my bed
And then they took my blood type
It left a strange impression in my head.

The American Presidency Project
Jimmy Carter
39th President of the United States: 1977 ‐ 1981
Remarks to Central Intelligence Agency Employees
August 16, 1978
Admiral Turner and distinguished leaders, members of the Central Intelligence Agency:
It is a pleasure for me to be back out here to meet with you and to express again my feelings about our Nation and about what you do to protect it and to make it even greater than it already is. A year and a half I was here for my first visit, the time of the swearing-in ceremony of the Director, Admiral Stan Turner.
I've told many groups that one of the most pleasant surprises that I have had as President of our country has been the quality of work done by the Central Intelligence Agency, and I want to thank you for that. You've made my job easier. The decisions that I must make on a daily basis require objective and accurate, unbiased analyses of very complicated issues. It's difficult for someone in my position to distinguish between the appearance of things and the actual facts, the reality of them. And you do a superb job in trying to bring to me and others who make opinions and then make decisions about what our Nation should do in the pursuit of our own goals and purposes, in the enhancement of our own ideals and principles.
In the last number of years, the purpose of the CIA has been changing. Your assignment is different now from what it was. There was a time not too long ago when your almost unique responsibility was to assess the activities and the potential activities of the Soviet Union. That, obviously, is still one of the important assignments that you have. But now your duties extend to the analysis of almost every region of the world, almost every country on Earth, our close allies and friends. We need to understand their special problems, their special opportunities, how we can work better with them, the attitude of their people; to study food production, agriculture, forestry, economics, mining, labor, a very, very complicated, very diverse analysis problem for you all.
I know the heroism demonstrated by many of you. Nathan Hale, who is recognized here and who died, I believe, 202 years ago, said, "My only regret is that I have only one life to give for my country." Behind me in this auditorium are commemorated 35 agents of the CIA who have given their lives for the service of our country, not adequately recognized for heroism, some not even recognized by name, 17 of them. Their names are not even known or revealed, because they lost their lives for our country in clandestine operations. But all of you represent the attitude and the commitment, the willingness to sacrifice, the patriotism of those who gave the supreme sacrifice.
I think the relations between the CIA and the American public have been substantially improved in recent months. The relationship between the CIA and the Congress has been substantially improved in recent months. Some who have been here for many, many years have had an inclination to be concerned about the increased openness, the willingness of Stan Turner and myself to let the American people know who you are, what you do, some aspects of your work which don't violate security of our country, and there's a growing appreciation for what this agency does, what you individually do for our Nation.
But there is a conflict with which you need to help me, and that is the balancing between legitimate openness which enhances your work and protects the interest of our country on one hand, and the careful preservation of security, the nonrevelation of secrets which you hold which can be very damaging to our Nation if revealed. It takes intelligence, it takes sound judgment, it takes common sense to draw that distinction. But those are characteristics which you exhibit very well every day.
I'd like to say in closing that I appreciate what you are, what you do, the high professionalism, training, education, experience that you bring to your job and which you demonstrate every day with your good work, the honesty and integrity that you present to me and to your other superiors, to the Congress, to the public for critical examination.
You almost are in the position of being like Caesar's wife; you have to be even more pure and more clean and more decent and more honest than almost any persons who serve in government, because the slightest mistake on your part is highly publicized and greatly magnified, whereas your great achievements and successes quite often are not publicized and are not recognized, and they certainly are never exaggerated.
I'm glad that we have this partnership. There is now a stability in the CIA which has been brought by Admiral Turner and joined by Frank Carlucci1 that I hope will permeate your lives for many months, many years to come.
There have been too many shocks, too many rapid changes in the past, but the policies that have now been established by Executive order, by sound decisions, by cooperation, and in the future by law, will give you a much surer sense of what the future will bring, will liberate you individually, in effect, to make your own beneficial impact in our country be even greater. I know how serious uncertainty is in a person's life.
We've assigned to the CIA, because we trust you, additional responsibilities for tasking the entire intelligence network, for preparing the budget under close supervision, for better coordination among the different agencies that have a contribution to make to security. And I am very pleased and very confident that this new assignment of authority and responsibility will be borne by you equally as well as you have demonstrated your ability to carry out functions of supreme importance to our country in the past.
So, as President of our Nation, as a partner with you in creating a better nation in the future, I express my thanks to you for a superb job and my confidence that you and I, Director Turner, and others can do even better in the future.
Thank you very much.
1 Deputy Director, Central Intelligence Agency.
Note: The President spoke at 2:08 p.m. outside the main entrance of the Headquarters Building in Langley, Va. Following his remarks, he attended two briefings given by CIA personnel.

DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER
34th President of the United States: 1953 ‐ 1961
Statement by the President Upon Signing the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958.
July 29, 1958
The combination of space exploration responsibilities with the NACA's traditional aeronautical research functions is a natural evolution.

Spokane's Spokesman-Review
On July 16, 1958, Congress passed legislation to transform NACA into the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. On Oct. 1 of that year, NASA came into existence, absorbing its 8,000 employees, three major research facilities and its annual budget of more than $100 million.
The new agency leaped into a myriad of tasks. Orbiting satellites meant enormous advances possible in communications and weather forecasting. Job One, however, was to put an American into orbit. NASA incorporated elements of the Naval Research Laboratory, Cal Tech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and von Braun's Army Ballistic Missile Agency.
When Alan Shepard became the first U.S. astronaut in space in May 1961, it was one of von Braun's Redstone rockets that put him there.
But NASA wouldn't have long to celebrate. Less than three weeks later, President John F. Kennedy set the clock running on NASA's next big task: The U.S., he said, “should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to Earth.”

the former president arrives here Wednesday to autograph copies of his book, his first scheduled stop will be the discount retail warehouse Costco in Issaquah.
{by me: Kerry Burgess: } [When I just read something Bill Clinton read {said} about not wanting to "pile on" to Cheney's shooting incident, I remembered this. The day I went back to Microsoft to ask for my job back, he was at this Costco, which I could see from the window at my cube. I thought that was quite the coincidence
