Featured in the aired presentation is special agent Mike Malone, uncle of THA member Martin I. Dolan III, MD. We thought that many THA members would be interested in viewing this episode of the "Strange Inheritance" show on the Fox Business Channel, as it provides a historic background of Treasury's law enforcement missions.

The Treasury Historical Association has endorsed and is assisting Dr. Dolan in his efforts to research the history of his uncle's work for the Treasury Department and and that of other agents. These efforts are helping to gain national recognition of the accomplishments of Treasury's founding director of the Criminal Investigations Division (a.k.a. Intelligence Division), Elmer Irey, and a few of his agents, one of whom is Mike Malone.

We are hopeful that the contributions of these Treasury agents (known as "T-Men" back in those days) might be recognized by nomination for the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which THA fully supports, and potentially other types of recognition, such as this forthcoming television episode and various media exposure opportunities. This team of Treasury agents brought to justice such infamous individuals as Al Capone and solved the Charles Lindbergh baby kidnapping case, and completed many other investigative cases that helped bring to justice many criminals who threatened the public safety in those tumultuous days.

The Lindbergh kidnapping story will be interesting. I recall that some of the ransom money was recovered and was in $10.00 Gold notes.
