No mention of this in the Wikipedia's article on the movie. I wonder if they would consider this a valid source.

yes, the cited: "For these reasons, it is critical that the Secret Service maintain open lines of communication with the entertainment industry. The consequences of our inaction could be detrimental" is a bit shocking.

more from that PDF (in the movie "In the line of fire")

Overall, the project has been a great success. The Secret Service wa able to work closely with the producers to make certain that our portrayal on the big creen was a positive one. There have been several films that depicted the Service or it employees as side i sue to the tory's actual plot. However, as Snow a erts, "It's a story told through the eyes of an agent, his problem , and his experiences." All things considered, it promi e to be a film that just may promote a greater intere t in the Service. "In addition to possibly being nominated for an academy award, I believe this movie will be good for our recruitment effort. It just may do for u what "Top Gun" did for the Navy," ays ASAIC Meyer. According to Snow, "From a recruitment tandpoint, this film will be excellent. This is an exceptional movie that wa re earched well and portrays the Service in a po itive light. If a film had to be made depicting the Service, isn't that the way it's supposed to be done?"
