### Video Transcript

**Text on screen:**William Webster

Lieutenant, World War II & Korea

Judge, United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit

FBI Director 1978 -1987

**William Webster:** It's unquestionably clear to me that the role of the FBI is being seen throughout the United States as a one of high degree of professionalism, dedication, and of delivering ... where delivering is necessary. You can take any area in which we've been assigned work to do and be proud of our accomplishments. And looking at the camera, I can imagine the thousands of new friends and associates that I've gotten to know in my visits across the United States and at Headquarters.

Together, let's keep up the good work. Thank you very much. 

**Text on screen:**Thank you, Director Webster, for your life of public service.

Happy 100th birthday.
