Dead Constitution See other Dead Constitution Articles Title: House Sergeant-at-Arms: oversight for one assassination, one attempted assassination, and a page scandal. That's one heckuva resume! October 16, 2006 -- The House Page Board, which oversees the page program, has some interesting members. The first is the House Sergeant at Arms, Wilson Livingood. He got his start as a Special Agent for the Secret Service's Dallas Field Office, where he was posted from 1961 to 1969. Of course, the Secret Service, including the Dallas Field Office, miserably failed in the protection of President John F. Kennedy from assassination on November 22, 1963. Nevertheless, Livingood was promoted and transferred to the Presidential Protective Division of the Secret Service in Washington from 1969 to 1982, and was in Washington when President Ronald Reagan was hit by a bullet from John Hinckley, a friend of the Bush family. From 1982 to 1986, Livingood was Special Agent in Charge of the Secret Service Field Office in Houston, the home of then-Vice President George H. W. Bush, during a time when the elder Bush was purportedly involved in sexual encounters with underage males in the Franklin, Nebraska/Boys' Town child prostitution ring uncovered by Nebraska Republican State Senator John DeCamp. House Sergeant-at-Arms: oversight for one assassination, one attempted assassination, and a page scandal. That's one heckuva resume! Karen Lehman Haas, the House Clerk, also serves on the Page Board. She is a former executive legislative assistant to House Minority Leader Robert Michel, from Dennis Hastert's and House Page Board Chairman John Shimkus' home state of Illinois. From 1995 to 1998, Haas worked as the Director for Government Relations for ABC Television and from 1998 to 1999 as legislative analyst for the Walt Disney Company. ABC News' special investigations reporter Brian Ross was the first to report the story about Mark Foley and the House pages. More interestingly, Haas was at ABC/Disney during the 20/20 special investigation by Ross of Disney's practice of hiring pedophiles at its Florida theme parks. In September 1998, Disney and ABC killed Ross's 20/20's special on pedophiles at Disney World on orders from ABC News President David Westin and Disney's then-CEO Michael Eisner. Ross discovered that Disney routinely refused to conduct criminal background investigations on its employees, refused to cooperate with law enforcement investigations of child molestation incidents on Disney property, and was the only theme park to refuse to work with the Central Florida Child Exploitation Task Force upon its establishment in 1995. House Clerk: not first time she's been in the center of a scandal about child predators. The House Page Board also has a new Page Program Coordinator: Ellen McNamara. The congressional members of the House Page Board, in addition to Shimkus, are Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) and Dale Kildee (D-MI).

Dallas 1963. I wonder if it was Richard Nixon who had him promoted in '69.
