    No biggie, Bernice ... but Croncite should be CRONKITE ...

    Cheers,

    Peter Fokes,

    It should also be noted that while Cronkite helped organize NAM protesters, Hoover helped dis-organize them [READ: bugged, wire-tapped, dis-credited, messed with, assaulted, killed, and otherwise harassed].

    THANKS GREG...

    Secret Service guards its museum closely

    The agency's artifacts and its enemies' counterfeiting tools are on display, but you can't just walk in to see them. It's closed to the public.

    By Ralph Vartabedian, Los Angeles Times

    May 16, 2010

    Reporting from Washington

    The six-story tan brick building on H Street houses one of the most secret museums in Washington.

    It is not listed in visitor guides, and if any camera-toting tourists in shorts and sneakers should show up, they wouldn't get past the front door or the reception desk behind the bullet-proof glass.

    This is the headquarters of the Secret Service, the federal law enforcement agency charged with protecting the life of the president and battling financial fraud.

    On the first floor, not far from the front lobby, is the agency's small museum. It is, unsurprisingly, closed to the public.

    The museum, which is no bigger than a few hundred square feet, is open only to the agency's 6,000 employees and official visitors. An occasional academic is admitted, said Special Agent Malcolm DuBois Wiley Sr., a spokesman for the agency.

    Its collection of artifacts, including items from assassination attempts, is unlike anything at the Smithsonian or the National Archives.

    The window from the limousine that carried President Reagan on the day he was shot by John Hinckley Jr. is on display, bearing a bullet hole.

    "Here's the standard-issue Tommy gun that was used until 1960," noted the museum's archivist, pointing to the submachine gun on the wall.

    The archivist strolled through the displays, occasionally noting interesting items. The museum, at the moment, was empty.

    The archivist is a middle-aged man who wears trim suits with white shirts and speaks in hushed tones. Under Secret Service policy, his identity is secret.

    He watches over a remarkable collection of tools and artifacts used by the Secret Service and its foes. Along one wall, the museum honors the 35 men and women who have died in the line of duty since the agency was founded in 1865. At the building entrance, employees are reminded of the service's motto: "Worthy of trust and confidence."

    In addition to guarding the life of the president and his family, as well as other officials and visiting dignitaries, the Secret Service has the responsibility of fighting various types of financial fraud and counterfeiting of U.S. currency.

    "This is the printing press used by Count Victor Lustig," the archivist said.

    Lustig was a confidence man who worked with engraver William Watts to flood New York with phony $100 bills during the Great Depression.

    The "king of counterfeiters" William Brockway and other masters of the craft also have displays in the museum.

    Phony $100 bills from different eras line the museum walls. They are posted next to legitimate bills, along with magnifying glasses for a closer comparison.

    Missing from the phony money are the fine engraving lines and embossing that are on legitimate bills. Sometimes the color scheme is wrong or the Benjamin Franklin doesn't look quite as sharp as he does on legitimate bills.

    On an upper floor, there are several wall displays with millions of dollars worth of currency that no longer circulates, including the $500, $1,000 and $10,000 notes. There is also a rare $100,000 gold certificate, which was used in transactions between the Treasury and the Federal Reserve during the Depression.

    The displays are located behind locked doors in an area that houses the agency's forensic scientists and currency experts, who trace the origins of counterfeit bills. They may be some of the world's best counterfeiters as well.

    "We counterfeit new currency before it comes out," an official said. "We want to assess how difficult it is to counterfeit with common printing and art supplies."

    Like nearly everyone in the building, the official's identity could not be divulged.

    The Death of Dorothy Hunt – Probing the Assassination of JFK, Part ...1

    By nausame

    A useful way of approaching the assassination of John F. Kennedy is to examine two men named Hunt, Howard, a career CIA man and oil billionaire HL Establishing who exactly killed Kennedy is nearly impossible.

  11. GAO REPORT ON THE 1965 NUMEC AFFAIR DECLASSIFIED

    In 1965, over 200 pounds of weapons-grade highly enriched uranium went missing from the Nuclear Materials and Equipment Corporation (NUMEC) plant in Apollo, Pennsylvania. Circumstantial evidence and popular lore suggested that the material had been clandestinely diverted to Israel for use in its nuclear weapons program, either with or without the acquiescence of the U.S. Government.

    A secret 1978 review of the episode (pdf) that was performed for Congress by the General Accounting Office (as it was then known) has recently been declassified and released. But instead of resolving the mystery of the missing uranium, it only highlights it.

    The Department of Energy and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission cooperated fully with the GAO, but the CIA and the FBI did not. "GAO was continually denied necessary reports and documentation on the alleged incident by the Central Intelligence Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.... The lack of access to CIA and FBI documents made it impossible for GAO to corroborate or check all information it obtained," the GAO report said.

    "Based on its review of available documents held by DOE and discussions with those involved in and knowledgeable about the NUMEC incident, GAO cannot say whether or not there was a diversion of material from the NUMEC facility.... Agents from the FBI involved in the current investigation told GAO that while there exists circumstantial information which could lead an individual to conclude that a diversion occurred, there is no substantive proof of a diversion."

    "All investigations of the alleged incident ended with no definitive answer and GAO found no evidence that the 200 pounds of nuclear material has been located," the GAO said.

    The GAO report was obtained by the Institute for Research: Middle East Policy, a group critical of pro-Israel advocacy in the U.S. See "Nuclear Diversion in the U.S.? 13 Years of Contradiction and Confusion," U.S. General Accounting Office report EMD-79-8, December 18, 1978.

    NUCLEAR NONPROLIFERATION, SAFEGUARDS, AND ENRICHMENT

    "South Africa repeatedly has stated its commitment to nuclear nonproliferation since it ended its nuclear weapons program and signed the Nonproliferation Treaty in July 1991," observes a brief new report from the DNI Open Source Center, which also notes that "South Africa has a history of backing Iran's 'peaceful' nuclear development." See "South Africa's Nuclear Nonproliferation Posture Remains Consistent" (pdf), Open Source Center Report, 9 April 2010.

    "The implementation of international safeguards at the Rokkasho Reprocessing Plant (RRP) in Japan has been the largest challenge the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has faced to date," according to a recent report on the development of nuclear safeguards. See "Lessons Learned in International Safeguards -- Implementation of Safeguards at the Rokkasho Reprocessing Plant" (pdf), Oak Ridge National Laboratory, December 2009.

    An overview of uranium enrichment programs around the world was prepared last year for the Department of Energy, based exclusively on open source information. See "Profile of World Uranium Enrichment Programs - 2009" (pdf), Oak Ridge National Laboratory, April 2009.

    CORRECTION RE: OTA FUNDING REQUEST

    In a story yesterday about efforts to revive the congressional Office of Technology Assessment (OTA), I wrote that "For the second year in a row, Rep. Rush Holt has requested that $35 million be allocated to restore OTA." That was not correct.

    Rep. Holt actually requested $2.5 million for an initial appropriation in Fiscal Year 2011 to get OTA restarted. "The expectation is that this number would grow to about $35 million as the office ramped up," a spokesman for Rep. Holt said.

    A similar request last year for $10 million for OTA was not approved.
