Re: [Foucault-L] Introduction-Sam Taylor

Talking about Hardt & Negri's appropriation of Foucault... (Which isn't, in my mind, an appropriation of Foucault as such, but rather of Deleuze's Foucault -- the differences are significant.) H&N begin the chapter on Foucault in Empire ("Biopolitical Production") with an unsourced passage:

"The ‘police’ appears as an administration heading the state, together with the judiciary, the army, and the exchequer. True. Yet in fact, it embraces everything else. Turqet says so: ‘It branches out into all of the people’s conditions, everything they do or undertake. Its field comprises the judiciary, finance, and the army.’ The policeincludes everything." (p.22)

I assume they have taken it from tape recordings of a College de France lecture, possibly from "Security, Territory, Population", but I'm not entirely sure. The pace of the quote feels like a lecture, but I'm not sure it is one I've read. Anyone know where it is from with any certainty? (If memory serves, they cite "Birth of Biopolitics" tapes in The Labor of Dionysus.)
