Paracas —_- susyecr: ANNIVERSARY PLAQUE FOR THE DIRECTOR /) is 63RD SESSION, FBI NATIONAL ACADEMY fi bole ot — = : f Tele. Room Holloman On the second day of the current session of the National Academy = cow, : the class members, during a lecture on the history and jurisdiction of the Bureau, were advised that Mr. Hoover was named Director of the FBI on 5/10/24. A couple of days later a committee selected by the class inquired of this division if it would be in order for the class members to do something to recognize the Director's 35th Anniversary. They were advised there would be no objection whatsoever to this and we were sure Mr. Hoover would appreciate their thought- fulness. As a result a collection was taken up by the class members and they have had prepared a very beautiful plaque. This plaque has an appropriate congratulatory message and the name of each class member engraved upon it. The company working on the plaque has spent 3 weeks making it. It is now ready. The class members want to present this plaque in a fitting manner and several of them have expressed the hope that the whole class can be present when the president, Chief of Police Dan Liu of Honolulu, makes the presentation. It is time to make the class photograph and a recommendation is being ‘made that the photograph be taken at noon tomorrow, Thursday, May 7, in the courtyard. There will be no visiting instructors appearing before the class from 11 to 12. The thought has occurred to us that if the Director is agreeable, it | would be nice to have President Liu present the plaque to the Director as soon tas the Director arrives for the photograph and before the photograph is actually taken. Chief Liv would be in the front row and could merely step forward when the Director arrives, make a very short presentation speech, and then give the plague to the Director. After acknowledgment by the Director, the photograph could then be taken, : 2 UG RECOMMENDATIONS: | , (1) “wat the class photograph of the 63rd Sessiun, FBI National Academy, be made w che courtyard at 12 noon, Thursday, May 7. : /) al New 1- Mr. Reoneberger . 7 OY 1- Teiep none Room \ fm 20 MAY 12 1889 . 28 (4) SEE RECOMMENDATDO
