Mr. Eccarius in the chair.

The minutes of the former meeting having been read, were confirmed on the motion of Mr. Weston, seconded by Whitlock.

The Secretary [Cremer] read letters from several members apologising for their non-attendance.

Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire.  A long discussion took place regarding absent members of the Council who reside too far away to allow them to attend its meetings.

A resolution proposed by Mr. Whitlock, seconded by Mr. Dick, to elect them corresponding members of the Committee was ultimately withdrawn with the understanding that as the present Committee was merely provisional in its character that all who had been elected on it should remain, but that no new member should be elected who resided at such a distance as to preclude him from attending the meetings.

Mr. Cremer then proposed, M. Le Lubez seconded:

That 1,000 [copies of the] Address and Rules be printed. Carried unanimously.

Mr. Dick proposed that the design for the cards be referred to the Sub-Committee and that 1,000 be printed.

A long discussion then took place with regard to the terms on which organised bodies should be received into the Association, and ultimately on the motion of Dr. Marx, seconded by Mr. Blackmore, the question was adjourned to the next meeting.

Mr. Cremer then brought forward a plan to provide a home for the Association which was agreed to be referred to the Sub-Committee.

The Secretary then stated that as he had only accepted office till the Rules had been framed and adopted, and such having been done, he now tendered his resignation.

The meeting having refused to accept the resignation, Mr. Blackmore proposed, Mr. Whitlock seconded:

That Mr. Cremer be requested still to continue office till after the assembling of the congress. Carried unanimously.

Mr. Cremer would have preferred that the meeting had elected another but he would accept it on the condition, viz., that it was to be an honorary position.[17]

Mr. Weston proposed, Mr. Longmaid seconded, a vote of thanks to the Bee-Hive for the insertion of the Address, Rules, etc.[18] Carried unanimously. Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire

Mr. Dick proposed, Mr. Whitlock seconded, that M. Le Lubez be elected assistant secretary. Carried unanimously.

The meeting then adjourned to November 22nd.

The elevation
of the FBI’s
intelligence function
to the program
level allowed
us to centralize
management
and create and
implement a
detailed blueprint
for the Intelligence
Program.  The FBI
will uniformly
implement, across
all programs,
its obligation to
produce intelligence
and share it with
our customers.  The
FBI views its mandate to produce intelligence as one part of a three-pronged set of
responsibilities.  In addition to producing intelligence, the FBI will also ensure that
the constitutional rights of all citizens are protected and that it uses its intelligence
resources responsibly.  The intelligence work of the FBI is threat-based, but
constitutionally bound.
Priority Actions
Develop and communicate to internal and external stakeholders doctrine and
policy for:  (1) the production and use of intelligence among the practitioners
of intelligence, the managers of FBI intelligence resources, Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire

and the users of
intelligence within the FBI; (2) the scope of the FBI’s authority to conduct
intelligence activities; (3) the framework to implement that authority; and
(4) the role of the intelligence function within the FBI. Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire

Advances 4.adv.004004 Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire

Civil Rights Forecast:  Most hate crimes statistics have remained relatively
constant, but there have been specific areas of increased activity.  From 1996 to
1998, there was a spike in arson against religious properties.  Since 9/11, there has
been an unprecedented number of hate crimes directed against Muslim, Sikh, and
Arab-American individuals and institutions.  In the event of another terrorist attack
on U.S. soil or against U.S. interests abroad, we anticipate similar spikes of activity
directed against persons who share actual or perceived ethnicity, religion, or national
origin with the terrorists.  In addition, the number of crimes under “Color of Law”
statutes is expected to increase in direct proportion to the increase in the number of
law enforcement and correctional officers over the next decade.
Transnational/National Crime Forecast:  Drug trafficking poses a continuing
threat, responsible for an estimated 50,000 drug-related deaths and $110 billion in
social costs per year.  In producer countries, Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire the trade

funnels both money and power
to criminal elements and illegally armed groups, and provides a breeding ground
for corruption, violence, environmental degradation, and political and economic
instability.  Gang-related violence will continue as long as the demand for illicit
drugs remains or increases, and drives gangs to battle for retail drug distribution
markets, especially in large user-based metropolitan areas.  Human trafficking
organizations have increased dramatically in recent years, and will likely continue
to do so over the next five years.  Worldwide human smuggling is estimated to be
a $7 billion industry, bringing hundreds of thousands of  illegal immigrants to the
United States each year.  Increasingly, terrorists and their supporters will use alien
smuggling networks to circumvent increased border security measures implemented
since 9/11.  International criminal groups will grow and form new partnerships and
alliances due largely to globalization.  It is likely that criminal groups will expand
their intelligence capabilities to thwart law enforcement investigations.
White Collar Crime Forecast:  Major white collar crime will impact the U.S.
economy over the next five years.  Corporate fraud has undermined the public’s
confidence in American business institutions, and the aggressive investigation and
prosecution of major corporate fraud will be a key factor in restoring long-term
confidence in our business leaders.  Money laundering poses a growing threat
to national security.  Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire Advances in technology and the globalization of financial
institutions will allow terrorist and criminal organizations to more easily influence
economic, social, and political institutions.  Money launderers and those engaging in
financial institution fraud will increasingly use sophisticated computer technology,
offshore banking, and complex financial mechanisms to facilitate their criminal
activity and hide illicit proceeds.  An increase in government procurement from
industry over the next five years will create opportunities for major fraud.  Health
care fraud is expected to increase dramatically over the next decade as the aging of
the U.S. population drives increases in private health care and Medicare spending.

Mission
The Questioned Documents Unit (QDU) provides forensic support to the FBI and federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies by conducting forensic examinations on evidence collected during an investigation. This is accomplished through written reports that contain results of examinations and technical information relating to the evidence and by providing expert testimony concerning information and opinions contained in the reports, when required. The QDU also provides training to federal, state, and local forensic examiners on specialized technical topics in the forensic document discipline and assists law enforcement by providing information and presentations concerning the capabilities of the QDU and forensic document discipline in general. The QDU monitors, develops, and provides information to legal, investigative, and forensic personnel on legal issues and assists other forensic document examiners in formulating written examination guidelines to standardize procedures.

The Work

Document Examinations
Examine and compare data appearing on paper, including handwriting, hand printing, typewriting, printing, erasures, alterations, indented writing, and obliterations.

Shoe Print Database

  • Maintain the database which consists of a collection of sole and heel designs and enables users to determine the manufacturer of shoes from prints or impressions left at crime scenes. QDU personnel also examine shoeprint and tire tread impressions.
  • Examine and match torn or perforated edges of items, such as paper and stamps;
  • Examine and analyze typewriter ribbons, photocopiers, facsimiles, graphic arts, and plastic bags; Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire
  • Maintain the Anonymous Letter File, the Bank Robbery Note File, the National Fraudulent Check File, and the Watermark File. These computerized files contain images of ransom notes, extortion letters, and other anonymous communications that assist examiners in the association of questioned documents from different cases with a common source. These databases have been extremely effective against crime committed across state lines.
  • Testify in legal proceedings.
