Directions: prepare for submission the following exercise. Using either slate and stylus, Perkins brailler, or one of the electronic braille software packages, transcribe into braille the following preliminary pages (highly edited, by the way!). Electronic braille generated using a six-key Perkins emulator is the preferred format.
For your submission, assume that your agency does use running heads as a matter of policy.
Submit your braille either via email (if you are using one of the computer-based brailling tools) or via snail-mail (US Postal Service). Electronic braille (Mac/PCBrailler, Duxbury, Edgar, Megadots, Pokadots) should be sent via email to rbroadnax@shodor.org.
Since one of the goals of this work is to ensure that you have the correct formatting, you should try to send your file as an email attachment. If you need help learning how to do this, please let me know. It would also be helpful if you could tell me what software you are using to do your work, so that I open your file correctly with the appropriate software the first time and not risk corrupting it by opening it with the wrong software.
You can also use the text box at the bottom of this page to submit your work. Simply cut and paste the braille into the box, then click on the "Submit braille" button. CAUTION: use of this text box MAY NOT preserve your formatting.
DO NOT SEND VIA "FREE MATTER FOR THE BLIND."
A word of CAUTION: the material below has been proofed carefully. If there are mistakes in grammar, use of punctuation, etc., those mistakes were in the text. It's your job to decide what to do about them!
No hardcopy braille is accepted. All submissions must be done electronically, using any of the braille preparation software packages (Duxbury, Megadots, Edgar, Pokadot, etc.)
Note: Lines across the full width of the page represent new pages. Shorter lines represent lines that appear in print. When brailling, insert page breaks if your software allows you to so. If not, please provide some indication via email or in the document itself where you would use a new page.
Note: the center of the book has 16 pages of photographs, each extensively captioned. A survey of the book suggests that there are no special symbols used, or any infrequently used symbols.

Author's Note and Acknowledgements
I am grateful to the FBI agents mentioned below, from those on the street to those in the executive suite. Their help and candor made this book. So many of them went out of their way that I am reminded of the lyrics to Roy Orbison's song "You Got It":
Anything you want
You got it
Anything you need
You got it

Introduction
Before new FBI agents met J. Edgar Hoover, Jr., Simon Tullai, who was in charge of new-agent training, gave them a lecture on how to present themselves.
After the meeting, Hoover would question whether certain agents had what it took to be FBI agents.
