Oklahoma City Bombing Governor Keating had little time to relax upon taking office. Within three months of taking office, on April 19, the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City was destroyed in the Oklahoma City bombing, in which the lives of 168 Oklahomans were lost and over 800 people were injured. The blast destroyed or damaged more than 300 buildings in the surrounding area, leaving several hundred people homeless and shutting down offices in downtown Oklahoma City. Governor Keating immediately mobilized relief and rescue teams to handle the crisis, assuring prompt assistance. Over 12,000 people participated in relief and rescue operations in the days following the blast. The national and worldwide humanitarian response was immediate and overwhelming. Governor Keating declared a state of emergency, which allowed FEMA to activated 11 of its Urban Search and Rescue Task Forces to assist in rescue and recovery operations. The national focus climaxed on April 23, when President Bill Clinton, along with Governor Keating and the Reverend Billy Graham, spoke in Oklahoma City. In the weeks following the bombing, rescue efforts ceased and the building was imploded. Through both his own works and the works of his wife Cathy Keating, Governor Keating gained both national and international attention for his efforts to help the victims and their families. Governor Keating also created a $6 million fund to assist victims and provide for scholarships for children who have lost a parent in the attack. Events * April 19, 1995: Three months after he was sworn in as Oklahoma governor, a fertilizer bomb exploded in front of a federal building in the capital killing 168 people. Further information: Oklahoma City bombing * June, 2002: Keating, a practicing Roman Catholic, was named Chairman of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops' National Review Board examining sex abuse by Catholic Priests. * June 16, 2003: After months of working with the Catholic Church, Keating stepped down as head of the Catholic review board. The resignation came days after Los Angeles Cardinal Roger Mahony criticized Keating for comparing some church leaders to the Mafia. In his resignation letter, Keating said, "My remarks, which some Bishops found offensive, were deadly accurate. I make no apology... To resist Grand Jury subpoenas, to suppress the names of offending clerics, to deny, to obfuscate, to explain away; that is the model of a criminal organization, not my church."

Keep in mind that the WACO Operation records were stored in the Oklahoma Murrah Building. That Oklahoma Governor Frank Keating was appointed in 1985 head of the ATF via Treasury Enforcement and oversaw US Interpol activities, and was a special agent with FBI for left wing terrorist opertions on west coast in 1969. Gov Keating's brother Martin wrote a bizarre book about the bombing of a Federal Building with antihero named TOM McVay copyrighted almost 2 years BEFORE the OKC Blast. It is now available as "The Last Jihad" ISBN 0964704811 BUT has changed from the original manuscript. An M. Keating also published a book in 1988 called "The City that Refused to Die" wherein a group of Oklahomans were blowing up buildings. That Frank Keating became a member of the Knights of Malta in 1988. Coincidence ? Not sure.
