Excerpt from Department of the Treasury Report of the Good O' Boys Roundup Policy Review: April 1996On July 11, 1995, public attention was first drawn to allegations of misconduct by agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (atp) and other officers of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies at an annual retreat outside Ocoee, Tennessee, known as the Good 0' Boys Roundup (roundup).l The following day, a local Washington, DC. Television station2 aired an investigative program, The i-team, featuring a videotape that purported to show events at the 1995 Roundup. The initial allegations focused upon the display of racist signs, slogans, T-shirts, and paraphernalia at what was characterized as a whites only event. Later accusations included charges of rape, bestiality, sexual assault, sexual harassment, the possession and distribution of controlled substances, illegal gambling, public drunkenness, and lewd and disorderly conduct. Further claims were made that the event had been organized by atp agents acting on official time and had been promoted with government resources, and that senior atf managers were aware of the nature of the event but took no action to abate the misconduct or to discipline those involved.Secretary of the Treasury Robert E. Rubin responded promptly to the allegations, announcing that a comprehensive and independent investigation would be conducted by the Treasury Department's Inspector General and the Under Secretary for Enforcement.3 Pursuant to the powers invested in her under the Inspector General Act of the Inspector General announced that her office would assume sole responsibility for fact-gathering in relation to the nature and scope of participation and involvement by Department of the Treasury law enforcement personnel in the Roundups?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
