Rotary Last Week, October 27th

Michael D. O’Donovan, of the International Policy Task Force gave a presentation on international crime since the end of the cold war. The U.S. was badly burned in a number of operations involving foreign police. These experiences led to a revision of sec. 600 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, training & assistance of foreign police. Mr. O’Donovan gave a breakdown on various situations world-wide, such as attempted assassinations, etc. where this assistance came into play.
