SUBJECT:
BOSTON POLICE ENDORSEMENT FACT CHANGES / UPDATE
CARD 1: NEW HAMSPSHIRE TROOPERS WILL BE PRESENT, BUT ARE NOT
ENDORSING POTUS -- CARD 6 POTUS SAYS "I'M HONORED TO
ACCEPT THE ENDORSEMENT OF ALL OF YOU GOOD MEN AND WOMEN
OF THE ORGANIZATIONS HERE TODAY."
NEED TO RE-THINK HOW TO HANDLE THAT. NEED TO
ACKNOWLEDGE THEM -- BUT CAN'T IMPLY THAT THEY ARE
ENDORSING US. BIG BOOMERANG.
CARD 4: WE HAVE NO CONFIRMATION THAT THE 16 OTHER HANNA
RECIPIENTS WILL BE THERE TONIGHT -- HE STILL NEEDS TO
CONGRATULATE THEM -- BUT SHOULD DELETE "HERE TONIGHT".
BOSTON POLICE ENDORSEMENT \ DORCHESTER, MASS.
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1992 \ 5:30 P.M.
THANK YOU, DON MURRAY, FOR THAT KIND INTRODUCTION,
AND HELLO, EVERYONE. IT'S GREAT TO BE IN BOSTON WITH
ALL THESE GOOD PEOPLE.
THE BOSTON POLICE PATROLMAN'S ASSOCIATION, WHO WERE
WITH ME IN '88; GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN... THE
MASSACHUSETTS CHAPTER OF THE ITALIAN-AMERICAN POLICE
ASSOCIATION... AND OF COURSE, THE TROOPERS FROM
MASSACHUSETTS AND NEW HAMPSHIRE.
- 2 -
GOVERNOR WELD. LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR PAUL
CELLUCCI... STATE TREASURER JOESPH MALONE ACTING
CITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT, ALBERT "DAPPER" O'NEIL. PUBLIC
SAFETY SECRETARY ToM RAPONE. IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU
ALL.
To THOSE OFFICERS FROM BOSTON... I APPRECIATE YOUR
COURAGE TO BE HERE IN THE FACE OF SOME PETTY POLITICS
GOING ON.
- 3
AND I ESPECIALLY WANT TO SAY THAT MY HAT COMES OFF,
AND MY HEART GOES OUT...
FOR CYNTHIA HURLEY AND OFFICER
FRANCIS FOLEY.
CYNTHIA, GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN. I REMEMBER THAT
DAY IN D.C. LAST MAY, WITH YOU AND YOUR KIDS LISA,
LEANNE, DONALD AND DAVID.
- 4 -
As YOU ALL KNOW so WELL, OFFICER FOLEY PAID A GREAT
PRICE, AND OFFICER JEREMIAH HURLEY LAST OCTOBER MADE
THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE... IN DEDICATION TO THE HIGH AND
ENDURING CAUSE OF COMMUNITY.
So I SALUTE YOU ALL, AND THE SIXTEEN OTHER HANNA
AWARD RECIPIENTS
HERE TONIGHT.
I KNOW JERRY WILL BE
REMEMBERED AND CARRIED FOREVER IN ALL THE HEARTS THAT
KNEW AND LOVED HIM.
We don't have confirmation
that any other other recipient
will be there
- 5 -
AND SEEING CYNTHIA HERE TODAY AFFIRMS IN MY
HEART
THE BOND A COMMUNITY HAS WITH ITS
PEACEKEEPERS. WE NEED TO ALL REMEMBER. THAT BEHIND
EACH OF THESE BADGES IS A FAMILY THAT HURTS AND
CRIES AS WELL.
- 6 -
IT'S BECAUSE I BELIEVE so STRONGLY IN THE VALUES
OFFICER HURLEY LIVED AND BRAVELY DIED FOR
THAT I'M
HONORED TO ACCEPT THE ENDORSEMENT OF ALL YOU GOOD MEN
AND WOMEN OF THE ORGANIZATIONS HERE TODAY
FOR
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.//
You KNOW, FOUR YEARS AGO, ALMOST TO THE DAY -- I
WAS HERE IN BOSTON, ON A FRIDAY... MEETING WITH LAW-
ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS. SOME OF YOU, IN FACT.
- 7 -
I WAS RUNNING AGAINST A LIBERAL DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR
-- WHOSE HOME-TOWN POLICE FORCE WAS ENDORSING ME
BECAUSE HE WAS SOFT ON CRIME. AND I WAS BEHIND IN THE
POLLS.
WELL... I'M BACK.// I CAME FROM BEHIND BACK
THEN... AND WITH YOUR HELP, I'M GOING TO DO IT AGAIN. //
AND THERE'S ONE OTHER COINCIDENCE.
- 8 -
THIS YEAR, I'M ENDORSED BY THE FRATERNAL ORDER OF
POLICE IN -- YOU GUESSED IT -- LITTLE Rock, ARKANSAS.//
LET'S LOOK AT THE ARKANSAS RECORD. ARKANSAS RANKS
NEAR ROCK-BOTTOM IN EVERY IMPORTANT PER-CAPITA CRIME
EXPENDITURE. FOR PRISONS: 46TH. FOR JUDICIAL AND
LEGAL SYSTEMS: 50TH. AND WHEN IT COMES TO SPENDING
FOR POLICE OFFICERS, ARKANSAS RANKS 49TH.
- 9 -
COMPARE THAT TO MY ADMINISTRATION'S RECORD. SINCE
1989, I'VE PROPOSED A 59% INCREASE IN FEDERAL SPENDING
TO FIGHT CRIME.
HERE'S ANOTHER FACT. LAST YEAR, UNDER BILL
CLINTON, THE AVERAGE ARKANSAS CRIMINAL SERVED JUST ONE-
FIFTH OF HIS SENTENCE. THEN IT'S BACK ON THE STREETS.
APPARENTLY, IN ARKANSAS, YOU DO THE CRIME -- BUT NOT
THE TIME.
- 10 -
IN CONTRAST, FEDERAL INMATES UNDER MY JURISDICTION
SERVE AN AVERAGE OF 85% OF THEIR FULL SENTENCES. So
CRIME'S JUST ONE MORE ISSUE THE GOVERNOR OF ARKANSAS
CAN'T TALK ABOUT WITHOUT CONFRONTING HIS ROTTEN RECORD
BACK HOME.
AMERICA DESERVES BETTER. KEEPING NEIGHBORHOODS
SAFE AND SECURE IS ONE OF THE GREAT FUNDAMENTAL DUTIES
OF GOVERNMENT.
- 11 -
AND IT TAKES A TOUGH APPROACH, ONE THAT PUTS
VICTIMS OF CRIME FIRST -- NOT THE CRIMINALS. CRIMINALS
SHOULD GET HARD TIME -- NOT VICTIMS, NOT INNOCENT KIDS,
NOT THE ELDERLY WHO CAN LIVE IN SUCH FEAR, LOCKED
BEHIND BARS AT HOME.
AND THAT'S WHAT I STAND FOR AS A PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATE.
- 12 -
I WANT TO TELL YOU ONE REASON YOU FOLKS ARE ON MY
MIND. FOR FOUR YEARS I'VE KEPT BADGE #14072 IN MY DESK
IN THE OVAL OFFICE. A RETIRED NEW YORK COP, LIEUTENANT
MATT BYRNE, GAVE IT TO ME. IT'S THE BADGE HIS SON
EDDIE WORE THE DAY HE WAS GUNNED DOWN BY A GANG OF
CRACKHEADS.
MATT ASKED ME TO KEEP THAT BADGE AS A REMINDER OF
ALL YOU BRAVE OFFICERS WHO PUT YOUR LIVES ON THE LINE
EVERY SINGLE DAY.
I HAVE KEPT IT. AND I ALWAYS WILL.
As PRESIDENT, YOU HAVE MY THANKS... BUT MUCH MORE
THAN THAT -- YOU HAVE MY SUPPORT. You CAN COUNT ON
THAT. //
- 14 -
WITH YOUR STRONG SUPPORT -- I KNOW THAT AMERICA CAN
TURN BACK THE THREAT OF DRUGS AND CRIME -- AND MAKE OUR
COMMUNITIES SAFE AND SECURE AGAIN.
THANK YOU FOR THIS VOTE OF CONFIDENCE -- AND MAY
GOD BLESS THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO WEAR THE BADGE... AND
THE BLUE.

So I salute you all, and the sixteen other Hanna Award

carried forever in all the hearts that knew and loved him.
And seeing Cynthia here today affirms in my heart
the
bond a community has with its peacekeepers. We need to all
remember
that behind each of these brave women and men in
blue
is a family that hurts and cries and bleeds as well.
It's because I believe so strongly in the values Officer
Hurley lived and died for that I'm honored and delighted to
accept the endorsement of all these good men and women of the
organizations here today.
After all, keeping America's neighborhoods safe and secure
is one of the great fundamental duties of government.
And it takes a tough approach, one that puts victims of
crime first -- not the criminals. Criminals should get hard time
-- not victims, not innocent kids, not the elderly who can live
in such fear.
Police know better than anyone
that we're all vulnerable:
Men, women, children. White, black, brown. Young, and old.
Rich and poor. To a bullet or a blade -- we all look just the
same.
And so Americans deserve a government that goes after the
problem -- that prevents and punishes crime, and helps victims. //
That's why I want to see America make a move at the Federal
level
to step forward and support state and local police
2
around the country -- in real, concrete ways. We need to help
you fight. 11
And as soon as we work out a few matters with the Congress,
I believe we'll have a strong new crime bill passed soon, a bill
I will sign, and a bill which will help you fight -- in strong
new ways.
As President, you have my thanks but much more than that
-- you have my support. You can count on that. //
And with your strong support -- I know that America can turn
back the threat of drugs and crime -- and make our communities
safe and secure again. Thank you for this vote of confidence --

Weld used the occasion to issue a call for passage of a
bipartisan consensus of bills to crack down on violent crime,
create new categories of crime and provide prosecutors the tools to
lock up criminals.
"Ceremonies such as this allow us the opportunity to reflect

WFW TALKING POINTS
HANNA AWARDS
OCT. 1, 1992
"Today we honor a Boston Police officer who made the ultimate sacrifice, and his
partner, who bears witness to the danger each police officer faces on a daily basis.
"They and the 16 others honored with Trooper George L. Hanna medals for valor and
citations represent the best tradition of police work.
We also recall the sacrifice of Trooper George L. Hanna in whose name these awards
are given.
As I look out on the ranks of police from across the Commonwealth today, I can't help
but reflect on the challenges they face attempting to keep the peace.
Perhaps never has there been such a belief on the part of the average citizen that their
public safety is under attack
Whether from a jittery armed juvenile out to settle a playground beef over selling drugs
through a drive-by shooting
Or an enraged husband or boyfriend out to avenge his anger on his wife or girlfriend
Or a hardened loser, let free by our crippled criminal justice system, and out to knock
over a convenience store
We pause today to honor the Jonely responsibility of that police officer, who must in a
split second decide whether deadly force is necessary knowing that his career is on the line
for even making the right decision
And knowing that our courts sometimes are powerless to instill a respect for the prison
sentence that must loom as the price of crime
That is why a cop killer must pay the ultimate price - the death penalty which is society's
only answer to those for whom murder is but a price of doing business.
Our bill to impose capital punishment would mandate that punishment for anyone who
kills anyone with an explosive device.
But we must also look beyond that ultimate penalty to give the prosecutor the tools to put
violent felons, drug dealers and dangerous defendants behind bars through stiffer bail standards,
laws outlawing drive-by shootings, and aggravated assault.
This fall, an unprecedented bipartisan group of those who know the criminal justice
system best have joined to endorse 13 bills that will make a difference today if only the
OCT-01-1992 16:50
FROM
TO
P.12
Legislature will consider them in a timely fashion.
If we can make progress on those measures alone, the sacrifices of those we honor here
today those who rescue citizens from burning vehicles, who face down armed thugs, who risk
life and limb to de-activate bombs
Will not be in vain Thank you very much

Honor recipients. A brief summary of the event that

Commendations.

BROCKTON POLICE DETECTIVE ARTHUR McCLAREN
On May 15th, 1990, at approximately 10:50 p.m., Detective Arthur W.
McClaren participated in a successful raid on a well-known crack house. The
Brockton Police Department had obtained a "no knock" search warrant for the
location.
Detective McClaren served to create a diversion by smashing the living room
window while the remainder of the entry team forced open the front door of the
apartment. Detective McClaren entered the apartment through a side window
and was immediately shot at by the alleged assailant.
The alleged assailant shot four times through the window, one of which
wounded Detective McClaren in the neck. McClaren returned fire, wounded the
suspect, the suspect returned fire and injured McClaren in the shoulder. Shortly
thereafter, Detective McClaren collapsed as a result of his injuries.
Two suspects were taken into custody and charged with assault with intent
to murder a police officer, assault with a dangerous weapon, possession of cocaine
and the unlawful distribution of cocaine.
In recognition of the courage displayed by this detective in this life
threatening incident, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts awards to Detective
Arthur W. McClaren the George L. Hanna Medal of Valor.

BOSTON POLICE OFFICER LEO J. RONAN
On the evening of June 5th, 1991 Officers Leo Ronan and William Doogan,
of the plainclothes, anti-crime unit, responded to a radio call of a vicious attack
by two males on an elderly man at 83 Sheridan Street, Jamaica Plain.
When they arrived Officer Ronan spotted a male fitting the neighbor's
description of one of the suspects heading toward a public housing development.
Officer Ronan approached the suspect, identified himself and ordered him
to halt. The suspect fled toward the rear entrance of 279 Centre Street where
Officer Ronan grabbed him by the shirt. The suspect turned around and lunged
at the officer with a knife, then ran into the building.
Officer Ronan entered the hallway and ordered the suspect to drop his
weapon. The armed suspect continued toward Officer Ronan and with fear for
his life, Officer Ronan discharged one round from his service weapon, which
proved fatal to the suspect.
In recognition of the extreme bravery and courage when faced with an
armed assailant the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is proud to award to Officer
Leo Ronan the George L. Hanna Medal of Valor.

MEDFIELD POLICE DETECTIVE ROBERT E. NAUGHTON
On May 8th, 1991 just after noon, Detective Naughton assigned surveillance
of armored car deliveries being made in the center of town, observed the Wells
Fargo truck pulling up in front of the Baybank on Main Street in Medfield.
Just as the guard stepped from the back of the truck with several bags of
money, two masked men jumped out of a stolen car and one jammed a 12 gauge
shot gun into the neck of the guard, while the other grabbed the guard's gun and
the money.
Detective Naughton began to approach the gunman, his revolver in his hand,
clearing civilians from range. Once the civilians were out of the way he shouted,
"POLICE DROP YOUR GUNS!"
The robbers then turned their guns on Detective Naughton who shot one
round which grazed one of the gunmen. Both men headed for the getaway car
and he fired again smashing out the window of the car, with nowhere to go both
men dropped to the ground, throwing the guns out in front of them.
The guard retrieved his gun and held both suspects as Naughton secured
them.
In recognition of the single - handed actions of detective Naughton in
disarming and arresting two dangerous felons, saving the guard's life and also
recovering the stolen money, The Commonwealth of Massachusetts awards to
Detective Robert Naughton the George L. Hanna Medal of Valor.

BOSTON POLICE OFFICERS FRANCIS X. FOLEY
AND JEREMIAH J. HURLEY, JR.
On Monday, October 28th 1991, Thomas Shay came into the Area E Police
Station to report a suspicious device lying in his driveway under his car at 39
Eastbourne Street, Roslindale.
The Explosive Unit was notified to respond to this location to investigate,
along with officers from Area E.
Police Officers Jeremiah J. Hurley, Jr. and Francis X. Foley, both assigned
to the Bomb Squad Unit, responded to the call and were met by Mr. Shay who
directed them to the object under the car.
As Officers Hurley and Foley were examining the device it suddenly
exploded causing them serious injury.
The two officers were immediately transported to the Brigham and Womens
Hospital where they were both admitted suffering from extensive injuries.
Police Officer Foley survived the accident, however Officer Hurley
succumbed to his injuries later in the day.
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is extremely proud of the courage and
bravery displayed by these Boston Police Officers, which resulted in the ultimate
sacrifice for Officer Hurley.
These two men clearly demonstrate the outstanding police conduct
exemplified by the George L. Hanna Medal of Honor.
It is with great pride and deep sadness, that the 1991 MEDAL OF HONOR
is awarded to Officer Francis X. Foley and to Mrs. Cynthia Hurley in honor of
her late husband. Joining Mrs. Hurley is her son Boston Police Officer David
Powell.

Dear Secretary Rapone:
I am writing to request your consideration in the
awarding of the distinguished Hannah Award to Detective
Arthur W. McClaren, a Brockton Police Officer, who has
served the city of Brockton in an exemplary manner and who
was shot through the neck on May 15, 1990, while leading a
raid on a Brockton "crack house". He returned fire and
wounded a native of the Dominican Republic who was later
convicted and is now serving a 20-year prison sentence.
Detective McClaren has volunteered for years of
undercover duty and has repeatedly risked his life and
health, yet remains one of the city's most active and
committed crime fighters. He has worked tirelessly fighting
the virulent infestation of drugs and drug-related violence
that has devasted the city of Brockton.
I am requesting that you take prompt action on my
request since Detective McClaren's father is dying of cancer
and has expressed a desire to see his son receive the Hannah
Award, which I believe he truly deserves.
sincerely,
Michael Chealan

POTUS MET w/ HURVEY IN MIO-MAY ON THE MAIL '92 PHOTO-OPP
After all, keeping America's neighborhoods safe and secure
is one of the great fundamental duties of government.
And it takes a tough, no-nonsense approach, one that puts
victims of crime first -- not the criminals. Criminals should
get hard time -- not the victims, the innocent kids, the older
Americans who live in fear.
In this election, candidates are talking tough on crime --
but just one candidate is taking action.
Look at the record. Arkansas ranks near rock bottom in
every important per-capita law-enforcement expenditure. For
prisons: 46th. For judicial and legal systems: 50th. And when
it comes to spending for police officers, Arkansas ranks 49th.
Since 1989, my Administration has proposed a 59-percent
increase in federal spending to fight crime.
Here's another snapshot of the situation in Arkansas. Last
year, under Governor Clinton, the average Arkansas criminal
served just one-fifth of his sentence before he was back on the
street. He did the crime -- but not the time.
So I think you'll see the contrast when I tell you that
Federal inmates -- inmates who fall under my jurisdiction --
serve an average of 85% of their full sentence. Crime is one
more issue where the Governor of Arkansas can't talk his way past
his record. 11
And of course you know better than anybody, if you want to
know who's really tough on crime, you look to the people on the
front lines. Take the Fraternal Order of Police in Little Rock,

As President, you have my thanks / but much more than that -
- you have my support. You're on the side of the law -- and
that's the side for me.//
And with your strong support -- I know that we can turn back
