This is Your FBI: The Unwelcome Guest

The Equitable Life Assurance Society presents this, this is your FBI. This is your FBI. An official broadcast from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation presented as a public service by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States and the Equitable Society's representative in your community.

How we think about the future determines in large measure the way we act today. Before opening tonight's file, let me tell you how your equitable society views the years to come. Does the year 1996 seem a long way off to you?

To us of the equitable life-assurance society of the United States, 1996 often seems just around the corner. You see, the future is our business. Every week we sign life-insurance contracts, which may not be paid off until the 21st century.

This means that we of the Equitable Society have to be constantly alert to the requirements of the future. We have to be progressive and forward-looking. Because the Equitable Society has to take a long-range viewpoint, it invests its funds in ways that promote the long-range prosperity of the country.

So that by serving its members, the Equitable Life Assurance Society will serve America. Tonight's file, the unwelcome guest. The Valley of the Hudson River which runs north from New York City is very attractive country.

Driving along the river highway you can see the homes of people who lead normal, useful lives. We refer to these people for one of the better phrase as middle class. They live neither in mansions nor in slums.

Their lives are well regulated. They work six days a week. They go out on Saturday night. They rest on Sunday. On rare occasions, their lives are disturbed by crime. On very rare occasions, as this case from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation shows, they are victims of a dramatic crime.
