The value of statistics of this character is, of course, well understood and appreciated by all law enforcement officials. Mr. Hoover has always been available for personal advice and cooperative counsel and . assistance to the members of the Association at all times and has given unreservedly of his time and efforts to all modem plans and projects tending to combat crime and convict criminals. THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: That it is the sense of the members of this Associa- tior that thir Resstutior he spread of the minuies and that copies thereof be transmitted to the Tresident and Atturnes Genera’ of the United States.” It is desired to emphasize the non-political character of the International Association of Chiefs of Police and the desire of the Executive Committee of this association to avoid any possible indication of interference at this, or any other time, in political affairs, local, state or national. It has been manifest, however, that he conduct of the United States Burcau of Investigation, under the direction of John Edgar Woover, has been of a non-political character and it is not beheved that an endorsement therefore of the work of the United States Bureau of Investigation under his direction could be in any manner characterized as political in any sense. It is the sense of the Executive Committee of the International Association of Chiefs of Police that any change in the administration of the United States Bureau of Investigation would be prejudical to the cause of practical, modern, efficient law enfurcement as represented by the International Association of Chiefs of Police, and it is the earnest hope of all the members of this Executive Committee that no such change may be contemplated in this highly important position. THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: That it is the sense of the members of this Committee that this Resolution be spread upon the minutes and that copies be transmitted to the President-Elect, the Attorney General of the United States, when designated by the President-Elect, and to all of the Members of Congress of the United States.
