For a time, after an intercept was found in the wastepaper basket of FDR's military aide, the Army and Navy cryptanalytic agencies unilaterally cut off White House access. In current US practice, there may be a special security office with the physical security of a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) used for Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) and Special Access Programs (SAP) information inside an organization.

Meanwhile, a former rival of Bowe's was also looking to get himself back into title contention. Shortly after Bowe defeated Holyfield in their first fight to claim the then-undisputed world heavyweight championship, the WBC declared that he must make a defense of the belt against their top contender, Lennox Lewis. Bowe had a previous beef with Lewis over his loss to the British heavyweight in the finals at the 1988 Summer Olympics and thus did not feel he should get a shot; in a press conference, Bowe refused to fight Lewis and for emphasis, he took the WBC belt and dropped it in a wastepaper basket. Shortly after Tyson won the WBC title from Frank Bruno, Lewis began clamoring for a chance to regain the belt he lost to Oliver McCall in 1994.
