process worked where those very time taking all steps possible to Any Gen Reno For example if

unusual coincidences took place preventviolence before it starts there were chemical attack where

the military had the only expertise

Ms Reno are investigators Miss Reno on use of military in concerning the chemical agents

convinced or do we know in fact counterterrorism you and Deputy involved and they knew how to

whether there is John Doe or Attorney General Gorelick have handle it and what to do think it

is that being rethought characterized the administrations woud be imperative for this nations

proposal to revise posse comitatus as safety that they be able to assist in

Arty Gen Reno Again would being rather narrow limited just an addressing that problem

not comment on any other aspect of extension of chemical and biological

it cases But in the counter-terrorism So its strictly to clean up and if

bill it appears that theres language that were the case does that require

Attorney General the National that suggests much broader use of change in the posse-comitatus law

Rifle Associations leaders say that the military in any number of

they have been unfairly linked with investigations Do you see any Arty Gen Reno It might not just

the kind of militia groups that are contradiction there be to clean up it might be to prevent

associated with the Oklahoma City as well to participate with law

bombing Do you think thats true Arty Gen Reno We want to work enforcement to in certain instances

And secondly theyre calling for with Congress to draft legislation participate with law enforcement in

along with some members of that is as narrow as possible while suggesting how to apprehend

Congress hearings of course into at the same time it would permit us somebody so there wouldnt be

the Waco case and Ruby Ridge Is to use in instances where the danger to the surrounding

that timing inappropriate given military had the only expertise with community Its based on common

whats going on right now respect to chemical agent or some sense If the military is the only

biological agent that we could use agency with expertise in this area

Arty Gen Reno So far know of their assistance in very narrow and dont think we want to risk our

no links between the NRA and what limited way And as told the nations safety our citizens safety if

happened in Oklahoma City and leaders of Congress when they met we can craft solid piece of

think it is important that nobody with the president we want to work legislation that gives us access to

jump to conclusions that nobody with them on this legislation to make that knowledge and that expertise

link anybody to something unless sure that its crafted very narrowly while at the same time properly

there is solid evidence to support it that its done consistent with due limiting the militarys role

also think it is important that we processand our traditional concerns

talk together in thoughtful and that it gives us the access to the Does the FBI even have that

dialogue about the issues that assistance that the military can much nuclear biological and

confront this country and look provide chemical equipment such as the

forward to continuing to do that with special suits and the special

those that want to pursue thoughtful Just follow-up the Section equipment used to clean up areas

constructive dialogue 101 on counterterrorism bill doesnt

seem very narrow at all just on Arty Gen Reno When you talk

With respect to the hearings think surface reading of it Does that about equipment there have been

if there are hearings they have got concern you situations where we have been able

to be done in thoughtful objectiveto use military equipment but not the

bipartisan way To inject politics Arty Gen Reno What we want to military personnel by contract or

into this is wrong think all do and what told Senator Dole and other means But it is the expertise

Americans concerned about the others is that we would like to be that we are really saying look if the

future of this country want to do able to sit down with their staff and military has that expertise and if it is

everything they can to avoid the as we work through this issue craft critical surely we can work together

violence to prevent the horror of the most careful legislation possible to craft piece of legislation that

Oklahoma City to end the violence limits the military role while at the

on our streets The best way to do Ms Reno when you say you same tne ensuring the access to the

that think is for us to come wanted to be able to use the military expertise

together working with law with chemical or biological agent

enforcement to insure firm fair attack to do what What would couple of outside witnesses

law enforcement that is consistent they do maam in the last week at the

with due process while at the same Judiciary Hearing at the Senate

suggested that these militias these

organizations Do you have any opposes measures that fail to reflect On May 1995 Attorney General

feelings about any attitudes on the harsh and terrible impact of Janet Reno and Immigration and

whether these militias are legal or crack on communities across Naturalization Service INSnot and whether theres an area for America Opposition was also Commissioner Doris Meissner

Federal oversight in the operation of voiced by the United States announced the Clinton

these organizations Attorneys who met at the United Administrations new and

States Attorneys Conference in San comprehensive initiative The

Atty Gen Reno Again think it is Antonio Texas April 10-14 and by Immigration Enforcement

important that those groups that Jo Ann Harris Assistant Attorney Improvements Act of 1995 to help

want to meet even if they disagree General in charge of the Criminal end illegal immigration It was also

with Government have the right to Division who represents the Justice introduced in the Senate by Senators

that Government take those steps meetings of the SentencingSimon D-IL and Barbara Boxer

that are reasonable and prudent to Commission On April 10 1994 the D-CA The Act will expand the

follow up on leads that indicate that Commission voted 4-3 to make the Administrations efforts to control

violence may occur And dont penalties for crack cocaine offenses our nations borders aggressively

think that that should be associated equal to those for powder cocaine pursue and expedite the removal of

necessarily with militia groups despite evidence that crack does criminal and other illegal aliens

think we have got to be very careful greater harm to vulnerable enhance the ability of the INS to

that we do not characterize group communities The Commissions find and penalize smugglers

and generalize from the action of recommendation would become law eliminate the job magnet through

one person to group as whole November if no action is taken byincreased work site enforcement

think it is important that we pursue Congress to reject it and improve employment

all of these issues looking at what verification systems Several

law enforcements role should be Although the Justice Department has measures in the bill will make it

which is the pursuit of evidence to recognized that an adjustment in the faster and easier for the U.S to

prevent crime current penalty structure might be exclude and deport illegal aliens If

APPENDIX

ADMINISTRATION COUNTERTERRORISM LEGISLATION

FACT SHEET

May 1995

On February 1995 the President transmitted to the Congress the Omnibus

Counterterrorism Act of 1905 On May 1995 the President transmitted to Congress

the Antiterrorism Amendments Act of 1995 Together these bills represent

concerted effort to improve the governments ability to detect both foreign and domestic

terrorism

Major provisions of these bills would

Provide clear Federal criminal jurisdiction for any international terrorist attack

that might occur in the United States

Provide Federal criminal jurisdiction over terrorists who use the United States as

the place from which to plan terrorist attacks overseas

Provide workable mechanism utilizing U.S District Court Judges appointed by

the Chief Justice to deport expeditiously alien terrorists without risking the

disclosure of national security information or techniques

Require the Treasury Department to study the inclusion of taggants microscopic

unique particles in standard explosive device raw materials to permit tracing the

source of those materials after an explosion whether common chemicals used to

manufacture explosives can be rendered inert and whether controls can be

imposed on certain basic chemicals used to manufacture other explosives

Require the Treasury Department to promulgate regulations regarding the

inclusion of taggants in explosives and impose felony criminal penalties on those

who possess or sell explosives which they know do not contain taggants

Implement an international treaty requiring the insertion of chemical agent into

plastic explosives when manufactured to make them detectable

Expand Federal jurisdiction over cases involving bomb threats

Expand existing Racketeering statutes to include terrorist acts as legal predicates

Expand the current authority of the military to investigate and perform other law

enforcement functions in cases involving nuclear materials to cases involving

chemical and biological weapons Only the military has the specialized expertise

and equipment to handle these materials and civilian law enforcement is at

substantial disadvantage as result

Apply the same legal standard in national security cases that is currently used in

routine criminal cases for obtaining permission to track telephone traffic with

pen registers and trap and trace devices Pen registers are devices which

report the telephone number dialed Trap and trace devices report the

telephone number from which call originates Caller ID Neither device

records or permits law enforcement to listen to the actual conversation which is

taking place

Permit access to financial and credit reports in antiterrorism cases as is currently

permitted with bank records in such cases to permit law enforcement to track

the source and use of funds by suspected terrorists

Expand the existing laws which punish those who assault or murder certain

federal employees Under existing law only limited categories of federal

employees are covered Under the Administration proposal all federal employees

and members of their immediate families including members of the uniformed

services are covered

Enable law enforcement agencies to use formal written requests from the FBI to

obtain records critical to terrorism investigations from hotels motels common

carriers storage facilities and vehicle rental facilities These same records are

all available to the FBI in routine criminal cases through the grand jury subpoena

process

Expand the authority of law enforcement agencies to conduct electronic

surveillance within existing constitutional safeguards The expansion would

Permit the FBI to obtain emergency wiretaps for no more than 48 hours

in certain national security cases thus permitting the FBI to obtain the

more complicated court order yet not lose valuable evidence while the

court order is sought Approval for such an order would come from

either the Attorney General or the Deputy Attorney General This is the

same emergency authority which now exists for law enforcement in

routine criminal investigations

Eliminate burdensome and unnecessary requirement of multi-point or

roving wiretaps multi-point or roving wiretap permits federal

agents to wiretap those criminals and terrorists who utilize modern

technology to switch from telephone line to telephone line and has been

successfully used since 1986 However existing law requires proof that

the criminal or terrorist is switching phone lines for the express purpose

of evading surveillance Although this may reasonably be inferred in most

cases it is difficult to prove and not required under the Constitution The

change will not expand the types of situations in which multi-point or

roving wiretap may be used only the number of such cases

Eliminate the statutory but not constitutionally-required provision of law

which requires the suppression of evidence in wiretap cases when even the

most technical mistakes occur The amendment would substitute the

existing constitutional standard which applies to all other warrants namely

that suppression only occur when there is bad faith demonstrated on the

part of law enforcement

Criminalize the possession of stolen explosives material

Require minimum mandatory sentence of imprisonment of 10 years for those

who sell or otherwise transfer firearms or explosives with the knowledge that the

firearms or explosives will be used to commit crime of violence

Provide source of funds for the digital telephony bill passed by Congress last

session ensuring court-authorized law enforcement access to electronic

surveillance of digitized communications

DIXEMAIL ETIQUETTE AND TIPS

from the

United States Attorneys Office

Northern District of Georgia

DO NOT USE ALL CAPS When you type in all caps IT IS DISTRACTING AND MAKESYOUR MESSAGE READ LIKE YOU ARE SHOUTING Unless you want to emphasize your

message or otherwise express some urgency please AVOID ALL CAPS

Use URGENT ASAP etc sparingly Use discretion when sending messages identified as

URGENT1 ASAP etc These messages should be sent only in true emergencies Basically avoid

crying wolf too often

Create personal groups Create personal groups to send Emails e.g divisions sections Many

messages sent to system-wide groups only apply to narrow group of office members System-wide

messages take lot of time to send and bog down the system

Send system-wide messages during off hours Because system-wide messages bog down the

system please send them only before work after work or during lunch unless there is real rush

We have all experienced the futility of trying to use Email when our screen is frozen as system-wide

messages are being delivered

Use Emails to the world sparingly As with system-wide Emails sent in-house Emails sent out

over the Wide Area Network DOJ and all U.S Attorney offices tie up lot of equipment and

resources Use such Emails sparingly and first get approval from the First Assistant U.S Attorney

or the U.S Attorney

Do not abuse the privilege of sending out Emails Emails relating to office functions births and

other matters of office interest may be included in Emails but be mindful that such messages

generally should be sent during nonworking or lunch hours

Cool off before responding If an Email message makes you angry consider cooling off and not

pressing the reply key immediately rash word in writing can come back to haunt you especially

if it is redistributed electronically or printed out

Make replies clear When you receive message needing response consider responding more

completely than yes/no to avoid confusing the original sender who may not recall precisely what

message he or she sent If you prefer to send the less time-consuming yes/no reply consider hitting

the key to forward the message back to the sender as an attachment Then the sender can simply

tab for reminder of the original message he or she sent

Send messages in English The system sends WordPerfect documents in unreadable Sanskrit-like

format unless you save it in 4.2 before sending it If you are unfamiliar with the 4.2 saving process

check with the systems manager All attachments should be sent in English unless you want to send

them in Sanskrit for security purposes

Use your cc and bce options To avoid retyping the same message over and over remember

you can always press Shift F3 to send copy or blind copy to someone If you are receiving

message also remember that you can press the key to find out who else was copied

Never send classified information on Email Ever

Beware of privacy concerns Do not put anything on e-mail that would embarrass you or the office

if it appeared in tomorrows headlines In this age of creative discovery and computer hackers you

can never be assured that your private communications will remain private
