     The Secret Service, a branch of the Treasure, is responsible for enforce-
ment of laws realting to US currency and negotiable instruments (e.g.  bonds
and postage stamps) in addition to providing security for the Executive
Branch.  They have offices in most cities with a population of over 30
thousand or so.
     Most communications is "in the clear,"  although digital voice encryption
has shown up in the larger cities and will continue to spread.  Agents use
their last name in initiating contact; for example "flahrety, Flahrety, St.
Louis Base."  Or, when a dignitary is in town, "Flahrety, Flahrety, Command
Post."  Few code words are used.  "Rawhide" is the President, "Rainbow" is the
First Lady, "Snowstorm" is the Vice President.  These will change from time to
time, but are easy to figure out.  Following is an alphabetical list of the
frequencies in use around the nation.  for daily use, stick with Charlie (165.
375).  When the President comes to town, plug in all you have room for.

     The following are unnamed SECSERV channels and may be useless.

163.81          165.685
164.75          165.9
165.675         166.615
168.45          168.4
        168.575

     Try some of them next time Ronnie pays a visit.  Remember, the motorcades
are the responsibilities of local departments and the Highway Patrol/State
Police.  If Secret Service comes up with stuff like "Passing point 4", listen
to the locals and they'll spell it out in plain words.
