### White House Press Release

#### VICE PRESIDENT GORE ANNOUNCES NEW EFFORT TO PROVIDE HIGH-TECH TOOLS TO LAW ENFORCEMENT

                                THE WHITE HOUSE

                         Office of the Vice President
    ________________________________________________________________________
    For Immediate Release                                       May 19, 1998

                         VICE PRESIDENT GORE ANNOUNCES
                     NEW EFFORT TO PROVIDE HIGH-TECH TOOLS
                              TO LAW ENFORCEMENT

                DOE Tapped to Lend Science, Tech, R&D Assistance

        Washington, DC -- Vice President Gore today announced that the
    Department of Energy (DOE) will work with the Departments of Justice
    (DOJ) and Treasury to give law enforcement new cutting-edge
    technologies to help combat crime.

        "If we're going to fight the criminals of the future, we need to
    develop the crime fighting tools of the future," Vice President Gore
    said.  "We must put the best possible tools in the hands of our law
    enforcement community so they can identify, apprehend, and prosecute
    criminals -- swiftly and effectively."

        Joined by Energy Secretary Federico Pena, Treasury Secretary Robert
    Rubin, Attorney General Janet Reno and state and local law enforcement
    representatives, the Vice President announced a "Partnership for a
    Safer America" at a demonstration of cutting-edge crime fighting
    technology including:

             Oak Ridge National Laboratory's image analysis and video
             enhancement technologies used to isolate the gun flare
             in a convenience store shooting videotape which resulted
             in a murder conviction.

             Hand-held geographic positioning devices that can record
             video, store voice notes and help agents visually
             reconstruct crime scenes.

        Pena added, "Crime is becoming increasingly high-tech -- from
    Internet predators to sophisticated bomb builders.  But today, we have
    a message to criminals, `Beware, because we are going to come after
    you with technologies you've never seen before.?"

        The Vice President announced that two DOE Memoranda of Understanding
    (MOU) were signed with the FBI and with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
    and Firearms (ATF).  Under them, DOE will establish formal working
    relationships to facilitate the transfer of technology and technical
    expertise to law enforcement.  A Statement of Principles has been
    prepared between DOE, DOJ, and Treasury to coordinate and facilitate
    the technical advancement of crime fighting in this country.

        In support of the Statement of Principles, DOE has selected for
    further collaborative development (with the advice of the FBI and ATF)
    representative technologies from seven DOE national laboratories.  These
    technologies are core DOE competencies that will provide future forensic
    and crime scene investigation tools as well as examples of actual DOE
    laboratory technology or expertise being used by law enforcement.

        In addition to the MOUs with Federal law enforcement, DOE has a
    longstanding relationship supplying technologies to U.S. intelligence
    agencies and the Defense Department.  There are existing MOUs between
    DOE and Treasury's Customs Service and between DOE and DOJ's National
    Institute of Justice.  Additional partnerships are possible in the
    future under the umbrella agreement.

                                        ###
