Craig L. Fuller
as
I.
PURPOSE
To participate in a memorial service for 13 federal law
enforcement officers who have recently lost their lives
in the line of duty.
II.
BACKGROUND
This memorial service is being held to eulogize the
supreme sacrifice made by 13 federal law enforcement
officers in recent months and to recognize the dangers
faced daily by all law enforcement officers. You have
spoken by telephone to most of the widows of these
agents, but this public event will let other federal,
state and local law enforcement officials know that
they are appreciated. Those being memorialized are as
follows:
-- Three Secret Service Agents (George Patrick La Barge,
Donald W. Robinson, and Donald Bejeck) died while
providing protection for Queen Elizabeth at Yosemite
National Park on March 5, 1983.
-- U. S. Marshal Kenneth Muir, 53, and Deputy U. S. Marshal
Robert Cheshire, 33, were shot to death while attempting
to apprehend a fugitive on February 13, 1983.
-- Prison guard Gary L. Rowe, 31, was beaten to death at the
San Diego Metropolitan Correctional Center on February 7,
1983.
-- Prison guard Gregory J. Gunter, 30, lost his life during
an inmate disturbance which occurred at the Federal
Correctional Institution, Petersburg, Virginia, on
December 25, 1982.
-- Four FBI agents (Robert W. Connors, Charles L. Ellington,
Terry B. Hereford, Michael J. Lynch) were killed while
on duty in a plane crash on December 16, 1982.
-- Ariel Rios of the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Bureau,
while serving as an undercover agent on detail to the
South Florida Task Force, was shot and killed in Miami on
December 2, 1982.
-- Thomas J. Devine of the Drug Enforcement Administration
was shot in the leg and the base of the neck on
October 12, 1972, by a suspect in an undercover narcotics
investigation. He died from the wounds on September 25.
III.
PARTICIPANTS
The President, the Attorney General, the Secretary of the
Treasury, top federal law enforcement officials, representa-

PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR FEDERAL
LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS
MONDAY, MARCH 14, 1983
Good morning. Two years ago this month I saw up close -- up
very close -- two profiles in courage. Were it not for the brave
efforts of Secret Service Agents Jerry Parr, who shoved me into
the waiting car, and Timothy McCarthy, who caught a bullet meant
for me, I might not stand before you today.
Fortunately, neither of those Federal officers nor
Washington Patrolman Thomas Delahanty, nor my own press
secretary, Jim Brady, lost their lives that day near the Hilton,
SEVERE
although three of these four men suffered several injuries.
While serving their fellow citizens, however, other law
enforcement officers have lost their lives. In recent months
alone, no fewer than 13 Federal agents have been killed while on
the job.
Their deaths remind us again of the difficult and very
hazardous tasks we ask our Federal law enforcement officers to
carry out. Sometimes they must perform their duties in
unfamiliar surroundings. And sometimes they must deal at close
hand with the most destructive and unpredictable elements in our
society. Frequently, their work is as routine as anyone else's.
But they know without a doubt that some day, perhaps even today
they may face danger and perhaps even tragedy.
Just 9 days ago tragedy occurred when an automobile carrying
three Secret Service Agents collided head-on with a local police
car in California. George Patrick La Barge, Donald W. Robinson
Page 2
and Donald Bejeck died while performing their professional
duties. They were driving to Yosemite National Park, where they
were to provide protection for Queen Elizabeth.
It is beyond our understanding just why those men should be
riding at that moment in that car, just as it eludes our
understanding why four FBI agents should be in the plane that
crashed outside of Cincinnati, Ohio, on December 16. Robert W.
Connors, Charles L. Ellington, Terry B. Hereford, and Michael J.
Lynch died in the worst accident in FBI history. They, too, were
faithfully doing their job. They were in search of embezzled
money supposedly buried near Cincinnati.
Accounts of homicides appear SO frequently in our newspapers
and on the nightly news that they may almost seem commonplace.
But no murder is commonplace. When the victim is a law
enforcement officer, there is an added dimension. Here the
assault is perpetrated not only against an innocent individual,
but also against the society he represents and is solemnly sworn
to protect.
U.S. Marshals Kenneth Muir and Robert Cheshire were shot to
death on February 13th outside Medina, North Dakota, where they
were attempting to serve a warrant on a man violating his
probation on a tax evasion conviction. Correctional Officer Gary
Lee Rowe was responding on February 7th to an alert of a possible
escape attempt when inmates in a Federal prison in San Diego
fatally attacked him with an arsenal of homemade metal weapons.
Correctional Officer Gregory Johnnie Gunter lost his life on --
of all days -- Christmas Day when, despite being off duty, he
Page 3
attempted to settle a dispute between two angry mobs of prisoners
in a Federal penal institution in Petersburg, Virginia. Alcohol,
Tobacco and Firearms agent Ariel Rios was shot and killed on
December 2 in Miami while working undercover on a cocaine
investigation. And Thomas J. Devine of the Drug Enforcement
Administration was shot in the leg and the base of the neck on
October 12, 1972, by a suspect in an undercover narcotics
investigation. He died from the wounds on September 25, 1982.
It is wisely said that nothing worth having comes cheaply or
easily. And the price of a free nation is sometimes counted in
the dearest currency -- human life. These 13 men, all of them
the best of professionals, all of them dedicated Americans, gave
their lives in the continuing battle to preserve our domestic
peace, to make America safe from those who prey on the innocent.
Our appreciation for their work, and their lives, is only
imperfectly expressed by our gathering here today.
The family members of each of these men bear a unique
burden. It is my wish that they will find solace in the loyalty
and friendship of the professionals their loved ones worked with,
and in the respect and gratitude of our citizens for the job they
did. Finally, I hope and pray that all Americans will be
inspired by the knowledge that each of these men died as few men
ever do -- a hero.

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
MEETING WITH A BIPARTISAN GROUP OF HOUSE AND SENATE MEMBERS
REGARDING THE ADMINISTRATION'S COMPREHENSIVE CRIME CONTROL
ACT OF 1983
DATE: Monday, March 14, 1983
LOCATION: The Cabinet Room
TIME: 1:30 p.m. (20 minutes)
FROM: Kenneth M. Duberstein ten D.
I. PURPOSE
To express strong Presidential support for the enactment
of the Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1983.
II. BACKGROUND
Enactment of legislation to reform several elements of the
federal criminal statutes has been a priority of this
Administration. Legislation was transmitted to the 97th
Congress to change sentencing and bail laws, the exclusionary
rule, the insanity defense, narcotics enforcement and
several other substantive reforms in criminal law. The
Senate approved a major crime bill, S. 2572, the Violent
Crime and Drug Enforcement Improvements Act, last
September by a vote of 95 to 1. That legislation addressed
several of the areas of concern to the Administration
including bail and sentencing reform and improved
forfeiture provisions. The House of Representatives
failed to approve this measure. It adopted, instead,
H.R. 3963, a miscellaneous assortment of criminal justice
proposals. The Senate acceded to most of these proposals.
This legislation was vetoed for, among other reasons,
its creation of a federal "drug Czar". In vetoing H.R. 3963,
the President reaffirmed his strong personal commitment
to the fight against crime and stated that he looked
forward to working with the 98th Congress to secure
passage of substantive criminal law reform.
A new crime package, the Comprehensive Crime Control
Act of 1983, is ready to be transmitted to the Congress.
Many of the proposals were considered by the previous
Congress but others are new. Each provision is important
in ensuring that crime in America is dealt with effectively.

TALKING POINTS
(Agudath Israel)
-- I hope that your briefings this morning at the State Department
and this afternoon in the White House are informative and
helpful.
-- I appreciate your efforts on tuition tax credits. Tuition tax
credits are a top legislative priority. We will do all we
can to provide you with whatever help you need -- but it will
be primarily up to organizations like yours to bring the
necessary pressure to bear on the Hill. I need the support
of organizations like yours if the legislation is to pass the
House and the Senate.
-- I have heard about the private sector initiatives you have
undertaken in Boro Park (Brooklyn, New York) in the area of
neighborhood preservation. I commend you for those efforts
and hope you will continue to expand on them.
--- I also know of your interest, concern for the State of
Israel and I want to reiterate to you my strong commitment to
Israel.
