He is an active participant in
civic and community affairs and
has won numerous awards for his
public speaking ability, including
the State Speak Up Contest in
A thens. He was selected as one of
the top five salesmen in Atlanta by
the American Salesmasters Club,
and just recently was selected as
one of the five outstanding young
men in Georgia for 1967. He is
one of the most eloquent and in
spiring speakers ever heard.
"The planners visualize an ul
timate information network en
compassing the entire United
States which will make available
to each law enforcement agency,
in a matter of seconds, the facili
ties of an information file national
scope. NO longer will the mobil
ity of today’s criminal element
afford a sanctuary, even tempo
rary, as information will be rea
dily available to any participant
in the system concerning any
criminal act regardless of geo
graphic boundaries.
"The prospect of such a sys
tem excites the imagination of the
law enforcement community as it
would enable local officers,
through coast-to-coast and bor
der-to-border cooperation, to
close ranks against the criminal
element.”
