PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS:
NSA ARRIVAL CEREMONY
FORT MEADE, MARYLAND
MAY 1, 1991
TIME: TBD
Thank you all for this warm welcome. [Introductory
acknowledgements.] Admiral Studeman. Director Webster. To all
the dedicated professionals of the NSA: it is my great pleasure
to share with you this special day. //
I understand that this visit is a bit of a departure from
the routine here at NSA. This is not the kind of place where you
can pull off a surprise party. [[As I was saying just this
morning in the Oval Office to General Scowcroft
/ Well,
I guess you already know what I said
//]]
In the past couple of months, I've had the privilege of
meeting with many brave men and women who served in DESERT STORM
-- who dedicated themselves to the cause of peace in the Persian
Gulf. Today, I am here to express my deepest appreciation to you
-- the thousands of men and women, civilian and military, of the
United States Signals Intelligence system.
From the time we took action to the moment the fighting
stopped, the world witnessed a display of courage and competence
that made every American proud. / But what America and the
world saw in DESERT STORM was just the tip of the iceberg. Our
success in the Gulf could quite literally never have happened --
2
without the dedication on display right here, through all the
days and nights of DESERT STORM.
As our troops go home to friends and family, they go home
heroes. They've earned every parade -- every pat on the back.
They know -- and I know -- they owe a debt to you. That's why
I'm here today -- to salute you: the unsung heroes of DESERT
STORM. ///
My association with NSA goes back many years -- and over the
years, I have come to appreciate the full value of SIGINT. As
President and Commander in Chief, I assure you: Signals
Intelligence is a prime factor in the decision-making process by
which we chart the course of this nation's foreign affairs.
Desert Storm was a team effort on many fronts: military,
diplomatic, economic. NSA and the Service Cryptologic Agencies
gave us the critical intelligence we had to have to operate
effectively on every front.
The information all of you provided enabled me and my key
advisors to have a sound understanding of Saddam Hussein's
capabilities -- and solid information on the situation on the
ground.
It is the nature of your work to shun the spotlight. Where
others step forward to fanfare and public acclaim -- your reward
is quiet pride. // I am here today on behalf of the American
people -- the many millions who cannot know the contributions you
make to their safety, security and freedom every day -- to convey
the thanks of a grateful nation. //
3
Once again, my sincere thanks to each of you for a job well
done -- and may God bless the United States of America.

James Madison: on free press and importance of info to good govt
"Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: and a people who mean
to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which
knowledge gives. "
Chuschill re-established signals int. - esp.

Churchill: re: Signals int. "I have studied this information
over a long period and more attentatively than probably any other ("Room

every one of these flimsies, and I attach more importance to them Admiralty
