In the minds of many, he was not only the FBI director, "He was
the FBI. 11 - - Bellmon.
"A dedicated and loyal public servant [who]
devoted all his
energies to making the FBI the world's preeminent law enforcement
agency. Even those who differed with him always had the highest
respect for his honesty, integrity and his desire to do what he thought
best for the country. 11 EMK.
The nation owes him "its gratitude and respect,
While some of
us may have questioned some of his approaches in recent years, no
one could question his loyalty and dedication to his country. 11 Muskie
"His dedication to the nation and the law will be living monuments
to his illustrious career
The nation has lost a great patriot and
outstanding public servant. 11 HHH.
Jackson said Hoover had achieved a unique place in annals of US
law enforcement. He developed most effective and respected law
enforcement apparatus in the world. What he didn't do - let the FBI
become involved in politics or be tainted by corruption - was equally
important, said Scoop who added that in the final analysis, Hoover's
personal qualities -- courage, integrity, self-discipline live on
in the institution he left behind.
Bayh said nobody over the past decades had been a symbol of
greater dedication to public service than Hoover and none a better
example of high standards in that service. Bayh also hopes RN will
pick a pro not a "political hack" a man with credentials to establish
confidence SO the FBI will still have respect. Bayh also charged that
a lot of the criticism of FBI should be leveled at the AG and Pres.
as many decisions aren't made independently by the Director.
He succeeded where he was most criticized in developing "a
police force consistent with democratic principles. 11 Proxmire.
"One of the most respected and honored men of his time
The
outstanding law enforcement official in US history
The Bureau will
forever bear [his] imprint. 11 Albert.
