Remembering a Law Enforcement Hero SA Rios Was Born in the Bronx
Remembering a Law Enforcement Hero SA Rios was born in the Bronx, a tough part of New York City - so tough that, for a while, his parents took him and his sister, Nelda, to live in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, located on the outskirts of the capital, San Juan. He came back to New York City to finish high school, graduating from William Howard Taft H.S. in February 1972. He immediately enrolled in John Jay College of Criminal Justice in Manhattan and received his B.S. Degree in Criminal Justice in 1976. Upon graduation, he married his high school sweetheart, Elsie Morales, and accepted a position with the District of Columbia’s Department of Corrections. A short time later, he hired on with New York City’s Department of Corrections. His beat was an 8,000-inmate population at the notorious Riker’s Island and the other Borough detention facilities, where he investigated escapes, suicides, and wrongful deaths. By the time he became an agent with ATF on December 4, 1978, Rios had lots of experience with criminals and criminal behavior – he had his street credentials. Rios jumped at the chance to become an ATF investigator – so much so that he willingly accepted a $5000 pay cut. After completing Criminal Investigator School and New Agent Training at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Glynco, Georgia, in May 1979, he dove into his career in ATF’s Hartford Connecticut (CT) Office, where he refined his undercover skills, buying guns and drugs, infiltrating motorcycle gangs, and making significant cases. “He didn’t care if the job went on all night long.

Ariel Rios Building Signage
Delegated Action of the Executive Director PROJECT NCPC FILE NUMBER Ariel Rios Federal Building (ATF 7813 Headquarters) Exterior Identification Signage NCPC MAP FILE NUMBER 99 New York Avenue NE 42.00(38.00)44405 Washington, DC ACTION TAKEN Approve as requested SUBMITTED BY United States General Services Administration REVIEW AUTHORITY Approval per 40 U.S.C. § 8722(b)(1) and (d) The United States General Services Administration (GSA) has submitted preliminary and final site development plans for the installation of three exterior building identification signs at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Headquarters (ATF) Building located at 99 New York Avenue, NE. The signs will be installed as part of a GSA program to improve federal building signage throughout Washington DC. Each sign, which measures nine-feet in height and two-and- a-half feet in width, will display wayfinding and identification information on each side, with a brownish-bronze finish. One sign will replace an existing stone identification sign that is currently located on the north-side of the property at the building’s main pedestrian entrance. A second new sign will be located on the southeast corner of the property (at the N Street/2nd Street intersection) and a third sign will be located on the southwest corner of the property (at the N Street/1st Street intersection). All three signs will be situated on federal property. Pursuant to its regulations implementing the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), GSA submitted a determination that the project qualifies as a categorical exclusion. As this is a federal project in the District of Columbia, NCPC has an independent NEPA responsibility for approval of the project.

Administrator Lisa P. Jackson Environmental Protection Agency USEPA Headquarters Ariel Rios Building 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Mail Code: 1101A Washington, DC 20460 Require Lead-Free Projectiles in Ammunition and Lead-Free Fishing Tackle The undersigned 121 organizations support a nationwide ban on the use of toxic lead in hunting ammunition and fishing tackle, to protect wildlife from unnecessary lead poisoning, and to protect human health. The organizations support the August 2010 petition to the Environmental Protection Agency under the Toxic Substances Control Act by the Center for Biological Diversity, American Bird Conservancy, and other conservation, hunting, and veterinarian groups requesting regulation to eliminate use of lead bullets and shotgun pellets in hunting, and to require non-toxic fishing sinkers and lures. Lead has long been identified as a highly toxic substance with lethal properties and numerous pathological effects on humans and wildlife. The petition references nearly 500 peer-reviewed scientific studies that starkly illustrate the widespread risks from lead in ammunition projectiles and fishing tackle. Lead is dangerous to people and wildlife even at low levels. Lead exposure can cause a range of health effects, from acute poisoning and death to long-term problems such as reduced reproduction, inhibition of growth and damage to neurological development. Each year in the United States, 3,000 tons of lead are shot into the environment by hunting, another 80,000 tons are released at shooting ranges, and 4,000 tons are lost in ponds and streams as fishing lures and sinkers. Scientists estimate that lead from spent hunting ammunition and lost lead fishing gear cause the needless lead poisoning deaths of an estimated 10-20 million birds annually in the United States.

Ariel Rios Brochure Final2.Indd
U.S. General Services Administration Murals at Ariel Rios Federal Building 1935 - 2006 Post Office Department, Washington, DC Delano and Aldrich, Architects The works of art commissioned for the Post Offi ce Department Building serve not only as artistic interpretations of history, but also as catalysts for dialogue about the nature of public art and an artist’s freedom of expression. The artwork neither sanctions any specific event, nor censures any culture or heritage. Rather, these works of art offer an opportunity to juxtapose contemporary views of American history and expansionism with those prevalent in the 1930s, to question perceptions and stereotypes, and to explore the history and heritage of all Americans. Front Cover: Letter From Home by Alexander Brook, 1939 Murals at Ariel Rios Federal Building 1935 - 2006 THE GREAT DEPRESSION OF THE 1930s brought not only a deflation of incomes but also of hope. The “New Deal” programs of President Franklin D. Roosevelt offered federal relief, recovery and reform, and restored the confidence and optimism of the American people. As we approach the 75th anniversary of the “New Deal,” we celebrate this unique period of federal patronage of architecture and the visual arts. THE SECTION OF PAINTING AND SCULPTURE, later the Section of FineArts, was administered by the U.S.Treasury Department from 1934–1943. The goals were “to secure suitable art of the best quality available” and “to bring about a more effective correlation of mural and sculpture decorations with the architecture of the buildings….” The Section awarded commissions through competitions, and paid artists a lump sum for their works of art for newly constructed federal buildings and post offices.
