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

When you have a health problem, you go to your doctor. If you have a legal problem, you consult a lawyer. Now, there's another expert you should include among your professional advisors.

In about 14 minutes, we want to tell you more about him and how he can help you as he helped many, many others, enjoy the advantages of membership in the equitable life-ishuland society
