dition, this administration is preparing a series of essential legisla-
tive measures intended to modernize the State's criminal code and
promote police effectiveness. These will be introduced during the
1969 Legislative Session.

Even as I intend to continue our State efforts to combat crime, I
now have the opportunity to propose and campaign for additional
Federal measures. We have proved the fiscal resources a determined
State government can mobilize for local law enforcement agencies. I
believe a determined Federal government can act with equal vigor
by distributing aid imaginatively through broad categorical grants
to the states; by sponsoring necessary new programs particularly in
the areas of research, advanced training, and prison reform that the
states, at present, simply cannot afford to undertake. Finally, I be-
lieve that the Federal government must take the initiative in the
crackdown on organized crime, attacking this most extensive and
fundamental menace with the same intensity once used to crumble
the great industrial trusts and monopolies at the beginning of this
century.

However, the first and final responsibility rests with you, the chiefs
of local law enforcement agencies. Your assignment seems the vir-
tual Mission Impossible: to increase professionalism; improve morale;
encourage public support; reduce the crime rate and move from
crime control to crime prevention — yet this can and must be done
and I am confident that Maryland's Chiefs of Police have the integrity,
ability and tenacity to change Mission: Impossible into Mission: Ac-
complished.

better mousetrap and then let the world know you're taking orders
on a short supply.

While attending law school, I worked as a personnel director for
a Baltimore food market and the qualities I sought most in our sales-
