Greetings Infomaniacs,

Man, I have been sick with some sort of virus for over a
week, and I am just not feeling any better. I’ve been to the
doctor twice, but he said there’s not much I can do besides
drink lots of fluids and just let it run its course. It
obviously has a very long course because it just won’t go
away! Ugh!

Enjoy!
Melissa

                    TODAY’S MYSTERY QUOTE

QUOTE: “A president’s hardest task is not to do what is
right, but to know what is right.”

HINT: (1908-1973), served as the 36th President of the
United States from 1963 to 1969 after his service as the
Vice President of the United States from 1961 to 1963.

     RANDOM TIDBITS – The United States Secret Service

The Secret Service Division was created on July 5, 1865 in
Washington, D.C., to suppress counterfeit currency. Chief
William P. Wood was sworn in by Secretary of the Treasury
Hugh McCulloch.

                             ***

In 1867, Secret Service responsibilities were broadened to
include “detecting persons perpetrating frauds against the
government.” This appropriation resulted in investigations
into the Ku Klux Klan, non-conforming distillers, smugglers,
mail robbers, land frauds, and a number of other infractions
against the federal laws.

                             ***

In 1883, Secret Service was officially acknowledged as a
distinct organization within the Treasury Department.

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

In 1951, Congress enacted legislation that permanently
authorized Secret Service protection of the president, his
immediate family, the president-elect, and the vice
president, if he wishes.

                             ***

In 1968, as a result of Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination,
Congress authorized protection of major presidential and
vice presidential candidates and nominees. Congress also
authorized protection of widows of presidents until death,
or remarriage, and their children until age 16.

                             ***

In 2007, protection began for presidential candidate
Illinois Senator Barack Obama in May, the earliest
initiation of Secret Service protection for any candidate
in history. Presidential candidate New York Senator Hillary
Clinton already received protection before she entered the
race due to her status as former first lady.
