Prepared Statement of
Director Louis J. Freeh
Federal Bureau of Investigation
Before the Senate Judiciary Committee
June 4, 1997
THE ISSUES YOU AND THE OTHER MEMBERS RAISE ARE CRITICAL AND IMMEDIATE.
MANY GO TO THE CORE OF THE FBI AND OUR ABILITY TO PROTECT THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE. TO ADDRESS THESE VITAL ISSUES --- SERIOUS CRIME, TERRORISM AND
ESPIONAGE --- THE FBI MUST BE AND IS A DYNAMIC INSTITUTION ANTICIPATING
OR REACTING TO NEW TECHNOLOGY. PERHAPS UNLIKE ANY TIME IN OUR HISTORY,
THE NATURE OF CRIME AND TERRORISM IS EVOLVING AT AN UNPRECEDENTED PACE.
TERRORISM, BOTH INTERNATIONAL AND DOMESTIC THREATENS US LIKE NEVER BEFORE.
