FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JMD
MONDAY, JANUARY 17, 1983 (202) 633-2009
Attorney General William French Smith today presented awards to
23 Department of Justice employees, an official of the Central
Intelligence Agency and a private citizen for outstanding
contributions to the work of the Department.
Although most of the 25 recipients of what are known
collectively as the Attorney General's Awards were recognized for
outstanding performance as administrators or for exceptional legal
work, two were cited for acts of bravery.
The awards were presented at the 32nd annual awards ceremony in
the Great Hall, the Department's auditorium. More than 100 other
Department employees were to receive awards for their achievements
at ceremonies held separately in the divisions in which they work.
"The number of awards is not sufficient to match the exemplary
performance seen every day in this Department," Attorney General
Smith said. "Although improvements can always be made by each of
us, the level of performance exhibited by Department employees is
very high indeed. For that, I thank each one of you--as do all of
the American people."
The Department's highest honor, the Attorney General's
Exceptional Service Award, was presented to William L. Colwell,
executive assistant director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

the new involvement of the Bureau with the Drug Enforcement
Administration--which builds upon DEA's outstanding achievements,
but for the first time has brought the expertise and experience of
the FBI fully into the fight against drug trafficking.
"He has brought both economy and technology to the FBI. And
while he has been instrumental in improving the technical machinery
of the Bureau, he has been equally tenacious in improving the
quality of life of its people. He cares about the agents and their
families and understands the difficulties and hardships of the
job--because he has been there."
John W. Black of St. Paul, Minnesota, a private citizen,
received the Attorney General's Meritorious Public Service Award for
having played a key role in an FBI investigation of corrupt public
officials. Black is an area president of ARA Transportation, Inc.
"It is worth repeating," Attorney General Smith said, "that
effective law enforcement is not possible without an involved
citizenry--and that the citizens of this country contribute daily to
the fight against crime--often at great personal risk."
The Attorney General, commenting on the award winners cited for
bravery, noted that substantial numbers of Department employees were
engaged in work exposing them to great risk.
"This Department is responsible for the domestic defense of our
society--and it suffers casualties in the war against crime," Smith
said. "By placing their lives at risk, many of our colleagues

protect the lives of their fellow citizens--and they deserve added
recognition for that very special kind of public service."
One of the employees cited for bravery was Special Agent Kelley
D. McCullough of the San Antonio, Texas, field office of the Drug
Enforcement Administration. While on a drug investigation in
Colombia last February, McCullough and a fellow agent were abducted
and shot by several men posing as police officers. Wounded three
times and left for dead, McCullough walked three miles to obtain
help for his partner.
McCullough was one of the recipients of the Distinguished
Service Award, as was the other employee commended for bravery,
Special Agent Joseph D. Pistone of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation.
For six years, Pistone acted in an undercover capacity to
penetrate the Bonanno "family," one of the major New York units of
the crime syndicate.
His work led not only to indictment of members of the Bonanno
family, but of members of other New York families and one in
Milwaukee.
While the Attorney General's Awards normally go to Department
of Justice employees, Ernest Mayerfeld of the Central Intelligeiv,e
Agency received the John Marshall Award for Interagency Cooperation
in Support of Litigation. The citation noted Mayerfeld's "support
for both. defensive and affirmative litigation in the area of
national security."
