"Contrary to some of the1Efrem
things I've read lately you can
become an agent if you have
worked as an FBI clerk for at
least three years and have any
kind of four-year college de
gree" he said.
"One of the things I like
about it is the number of inter
esting people you meet. While
working out of the New York
office I saw Senator Robert
Kennedy and television actor
Zimbalist Jr. Zimbalist
stars in the "FBI" TV series
and came into the office to
familiarize himself with our op
eration" said Impellizeri.
He realizes many advantages
of his position and military job
with the "Blacksmiths"
"This work has given me val
uable administrative training
which I hope to be able to put
to good use in the coming
years" he said.
