INDICATE ANY SPECIALIZED INTELLIGENCE OR NATIONAL SECURITY EXPERTISE YOU HAVE ACQUIRED HAVING SERVED IN THE POSITIONS DESCRIBED IN QUESTIONS 8 AND/OR 9. Education, military experience and extensive service within the Inspector General Community have afforded me substantial exposure to the intelligence community and broader national security arena. I earned a master's degree in National Security Affairs from the Naval Postgraduate School, and a bachelor's degree in Administration of Justice from The American University. I received my commission in the U.S. Air Force as a distinguished graduate of the Air Force R.O.T.C. military leadership program at Howard University. During my 35+ years in military and public service, I received professional training in counterintelligence collections, analysis and operational tradecraft; counterterrorism tradecraft; and the full range of law enforcement procedures and methodologies. As a military officer and as a civilian senior executive I led and directed intelligence, security or investigative activities involving sensitive national security matters associated with the DoD, CIA, DIA, NSA, and NRG missions. As Deputy Inspector General for Investigations and Inspections at the Department of Energy, I directed Office of Inspector General activities associated with the nation's nuclear weapons complex and system of national laboratories. Since assuming responsibilities as CIA Deputy Inspector General in 2012, and also through my experience serving as Acting Inspector General for the past two and one half years, I have gained significant knowledge about CIA programs and operations. I direct independent audits, inspections, and investigations related to the CIA mission, making recommendations for positive change. I also direct investigative activities to detect, deter and investigate fraud, waste, and abuse. With these skills and knowledge, and in carrying out my responsibilities as Acting Inspector General, I interact effectively with CIA leadership, SSCI, HPSCI, SAC-D, HAC-D, the Inspectors General from the Intelligence Community, IG members and staff of the Council of Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE), the Department of Justice, and the President's Intelligence Oversight Board, regarding intelligence and national security related matters. 11. HONORS AND AWARDS (PROVIDE INFORMATION ON SCHOLARSHIPS, FELLOWSHIPS, HONORARY DEGREES, MILITARY DECORATIONS, CIVILIAN SERVICE CITATIONS, OR ANY OTHER SPECIAL RECOGNITION FOR OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE OR ACHIEVEMENT): I received a 2010 Presidential Rank Award (meritorious) for my work in building fraud investigative and financial intelligence programs, as Deputy Special Inspector General for Investigations, Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (SIGTARP), during the U.S. banking and financial insurance crisis of 2008 - 2010. The programs under my leadership assisted the Department of Justice successfully prosecute individuals and entities for perpetrating billions of dollars in fraud. My successes also led to the new Inspector General of the Federal Housing Finance Agency asking me to assist him in building similar Office of Inspector General programs associated with Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and the 12 Federal Home Loan Banks, as they entered into Federal conservatorship. As a military officer I received Achievement, Commendation and Meritorious Service medals for acts and service during my active and reserve careers. I received several other unit citations and firearms marksmanship awards. I was a Distinguished Graduate from the Air Force R.O.T.C. program at Howard University, Washington, DC, where I received my U.S. Air Force commission in 1981. 12.

IN PARTICULAR, CHARACTERIZE WHAT YOU BELIEVE TO BE THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE INSPECTOR GENERAL OF THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY AND THE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEES OF THE CONGRESS RESPECTIVELY IN THE OVERSIGHT PROCESS. Both the National Security Act of 1947 and the CIA Act of 1949, as amended, specifically Section 17 that created the CIA OIG in 1989, require that the intelligence oversight committees be kept fully informed. I believe congressional oversight is essential to ensuring that national security objectives are furthered, and that laws are followed. The independent work of the CIA OIG helps inform the committees in this regard. The issuance of CIA OIG Semiannual Reports, summarizing audit, inspection and investigative activities, along with the sharing of completed audit and inspection reports, supports an open avenue of communications between the OIG and the committees. I have supported these established mechanisms while serving as the Acting Inspector General at CIA. I believe unfettered communications between the OIG and the committees is one of the hallmarks of OIG independence, and is essential to ensuring an exchange of ideas and key concerns. 49. EXPLAIN YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE INSPECTOR GENERAL OF THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY. The Inspector General of the Central Intelligence Agency is independent and objective, and maintains effective communications with the Director, CIA and his senior team, and importantly, the congressional oversight committees. The Inspector General is responsible for promoting economy, efficiency, and effectiveness in CIA programs and operations, by conducting independent and objective audits, inspections, and investigations. The Inspector General detects and deters fraud, waste and abuse within CIA. Audit and inspections work focuses on priority and high-risk mission areas in order to achieve the broadest positive impact. Annual planning for audit and inspections work is coordinated with key stakeholders to help ensure that limited resources are directed most effectively. Investigative activities involving allegations of crimes and civil negligence, although conducted independently, are accomplished in collaboration with the Department of Justice, and when appropriate, in coordination with the CIA Office of General Counsel. Whistleblowers and others raising concerns are provided anonymous or confidential methods to share concerns without fear of reprisal, and are protected by the Office of Inspector General from reprisal. These activities are reported in Semiannual Reports to the CIA Director and the oversight committees. The Inspector General is an active member of the Intelligence Community Inspector General Forum (IC IG Forum) and the Council of Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE), maintaining a productive relationship with their membership in order to share best practices and identify opportunities for collaboration where overlapping agency mission ' ~ interests are identified. In order to accomplish the OIG mission, the Inspector General builds and maintains a professional and diverse workforce, and provides opportunities for staff development and professional growth.
