(}UAT.TFICATIONS(DESCRIBE WHy YOU BELEEVEYOU AREQUALrFIED TO SERVEAS THE R{SPECTORGENERALOF THE CEVIRAL NrELLiGENCE AGENCY). In addition to the specific, specialized intelligenae and national secmity expertise I discussedin responseto Question 10, the experience I have acquired throughout my almost 35-yen cwm h public service makw me uniquely qualified to serve as the Inspector General of the Central Intelligeace Agwv. I wasprivilegedto work Rx almosttwenty yearsat the U.S. Attomey’s oaice (USAO) for the District of Cohmbia, first as an Assistant U.S. Attorney (AUS A), and later as a senior manager. As an AUS4 1handled numerousDistrict of Columbia Superior Court felony jury trials, and numnous jury trials and investigadoasin federal district court. I personally carducted and directly supervised hrmdreds of grand jury invesdgations (including aimes of violence, federal criminal oReases,economic uimes, and several sensitive police misconduct investigations). In addition, while serving as a Senior AUSA in the Appellate Division, I briefed and arguednumerous appellate casesbefore the District of Columbia Court of Appeals md the Uni©d Sntes Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. While at the USAO, I also served in various supervisory capacities, including as the Executive AUSA for Management. In this Bunt oRice managementrole, my nsponsR>ihtiesincluded managing the alminis&ative, personnel md budget staffs in an otHce consisting of more than 700 employees;serving as the USAO’s managementonacial on labor relations issues involving Merit Systems Protection Board actions, and once of Professional Responsibility and Office of the Inspector Genaal matters; and handling attorney issues hvolvhg pay, hiring, disciplinary actions, and professional development. Significantly, I also advised the v@ious U.S. Attorneys (the Presidentially or Court-©pointed head of the USAO) for whom I worked on myriad issues relating to complex case pmparadon ard stIategy, public relations and community issues, ethics, aaorney discipline, professional conduct matters, and law enforcement initiatives. In addition, I spent nenly eight years as the Director of the Department of Justice Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR). In that role, I reported directly to the Aaorney General md Deputy Attorney Gareralp and was responsR>le for ensuring that Department of Justice attomeys performed their duties inaccorrMce with the high professional standardsexpected of the nation’s principal law enforcement agency. 1oversaw the work of the attorneys investigating allegations of misconduct involving Department attorneys that related to the exercise of their authority to investigate, Htigate, or provide legal adviae, as well as allegations of misconduct by law enforcementpersonnel when related to allegationsof attorney misconduct within the jtajsdiction of QPR I guided investigations in nwnerous high-profile matters to msure prompt and q)propriate idarti6cadon md resolution of complex factual ard legal issues; managed an extensive case review process requkhrg hrndepd1 substantive knowle ee of criminal and civil cases; and ensured that every report issued by OPR was professionally rendered, meticulously reviewed for accuracy, and that all salient facts were uncovered, investigated, and analwl. These hquides and investigations into allegatMs of misconduct were received eOIn the courts, defense attorneys, state bn authorities, Congress, md DOJ comparent heads, aId hvolved myriad allegedviolations of federal laws, rules and regulations, as well as EX)Jpolicies and standards.Basedon these investigations, I provided advioe to the Attorney General and Deputy Auornay General regudhrg Department of Justice policy md procedures,md recommended baking or policy changn designed to adaess professionalmspmsR>ilityconcerns. In addition to working as a senior managerhr the nation’s largest U.S. Attorney’s Office, aId asthe Director of OP& I also managedother extwmely large, complor of6ces with significant, sensitive, md oRm Mr-nachhg missions. For example, I servedfor four y%rs as the Principal Deputy Dinctor, md at times the Acting Dhector, of the Departrnent of Justice Executive once for United States Attorneys (EOUSA), which provides management guidanceand supportto the 91 United Sutes Attorneys’ OBic® (USAOs),93 presidentiallyappointed Unikd States Attorneys, and over 10,000 employees, including over 5,000 Assisbnt United States Attorneys. In that role, I provided advice on critical policy issues, program considerations, md initiatives impacting the USAOs nationwide. I personally muraged the top supervisors for several EOUSA staffs and offices, including: the Office of the General Counsel; Office of Legal Education; Counsel to the DinctoB Equal Employment Oppomrnity Office; Evaluation and Review staff; md the FOIA staff. In many of the positions I have held during my mreer, I havehad the opportunity towolk closely with Congress. For example, while at the Office of Professional Responsibility, I responded to Congressional inquhies md provided Congressionalbrieangs relating to professionalresponsibility and ethical issues conceming Department of Justice attorneys. In addition, I had the opportunity to work as a sta#attomey with the Senate Judiciary Committee while detailed from the U.S. Attorney’s Office to Senator Patrick Leahy’s office. In that role, I was given the opportunity to work closely with Republican and Democratic Committee staRmembers as we negotiated, drafted, and mseanhed legislation dealing with a wide range of criminal justice issues under consideration by the Committee. I also had the honor of assisting in researching and pnpnhg briefing and hearing matnials fu the Committee mgnding the SuI>runeCourt nominations of John Roberts and Samuel AUto. And finally, while at the once of the hupwtor Generalof the intelligence Commrmity, I worked closely with CongressionalstaRen, both Republican andDemocrat, on the U.S. House PermanentSelectCommittee on Int£lligmce and the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, on numerous issues relating to the Intelligence Community, including whistleblower matters. All of theseopportunities to work with Congresson so many diRunIt issueshave proved tremendouslearning experiences. I believe that my deep and broad investigation, litigation, prosocution, budget, management,leadership,and other experience has made me a better lawyer and public servmt, and make me well-qualified to serve as the Inspector Generalof the Central Intelligence Agency, if I am so fortunate as to be confirmed.

DESCRIBE nq YOUR OWN WORDS THE CONCEPT OF CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT OF U.S. nqTELLiGENCE ACTIVITIES. IN PARTICULAR CHARACTERIZE WHAT YOU BHLIEVE TO BE THE OBLIGATIONSOF THE nHSPECTOR GENERALOFTIUBCEVrRAL INIELLIGENCE AGENCY AND THE nfrELLIGENCE cowwrrEES OFTHE CONGRESS, RESPECTIVELY,N THE ovERsiGHr PROCESS. As mentioned in some detail above, timing my almost 35-year career as a public servant with the federal government, I have had may opportunities to work with Congress – while on detail from the Department of Justice to Senator Patrick Leahy’s office, in my job as the Principal Deputy Director of the Executive once for U.S. Attorneys,and when I was the Dhector of the Office of ProfessionalResponsR)ility.Each of these opportunities enhancedmy respect for, and increasedmy rmderstanding of, Congress’ important oversight role throughout the federal government However, it was dung my recenttenwe as the Principal Deputy InspectorGareral of the Intelligence Community that I cme to truly understandand appreciatethe crucial need for Congressionaloversight in the Intelligence Community. Becausethe work of the Intelligence Community, genaally, and the Central Intelligence Agency, specifically, must,by necessity,operatelatBely outside of the public’s view, Congressional oversight becomes increasingly important The American people must have confidence that while e6ectivety carrying out its vital mission, the Central Intelligence Agency is being held accotmtable and is adhering to the very highest standards we all expect of it The Congressional intelligence committees play a critical role in instilling this confidence by firlfilling their oversight obligation to ensure that the opeBaions,programs, ad activities of the Central Intelligence Agency are carried out ethically, honestly, and h accordancewith law, establishedpolicies, and in a mmner that reflects our nation’s values. By assuringthe American people that, while engaged in activities essential to our national secwity and defense, the Central Intelligence Agency is being held accountable, Congress through its oversight activides, ach in the public’s interest. By holding classi6ed briefings, wnXinidng relevant paperwork and documents, qrestioning Central Intelligence Agency leadersand others, Congress is able to fulfill its vital oversight role on behalf of the Amuimn people. The Inspector General of the Central Intelligence Agency also plays an important role with regard to this oversight nsponsHHlity. Because of my recent tenure in the Office of Inspector General of the Inknigence Community, I am very Mmihar with the obligations and msponsR>ibtiesof the Inspector General of the Central Intelligence Agency, as set forth in 50 U.S.C. § 3517. Speci6cally – and among numerousother nsponsRHlities enumeratedby this statute – the Inspector General has a duty to keep the DineRx of the Central Intelligence Agency 'lully and cunntly informed about problems and deficiencies” and 'The necessity for md the progress of corrective actions” relating to the administration of the Central Intelligence Agency’s programs and operations. The Inspector Gweral must also ensure that the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence “are kept shilady informed of signifIcant problems and deficiencies as well as the necessity for and the progress of corrective actions....” in addidon, the sbtute deHneatesspecific hrstancesthat obligates the Inspector General of the Central Intelligence Agency to notify, and submit reports to, the Congressional intelligence committees so that Congress can fillfill its oversight obligation. In addition to the duties and nsponsbiBties speci6cally set forth in 50 U.S.C. § 3517, 1 believe that it is imperative that the Inspector General of the Central Intelligence Agency establish and maintain a productive, cxwperative,and professional relationship with the mployees within the Office of the Inspector General and with the many other people md entities who have crucial oversight roles, as well. These include the Direct£r of the Central Intelligence Agency, the Director of National Intelligence, and the Congressional intelligence committees. Ttr®e parties share with the Inspector General numerous mutual goals, many overlapping responsR)ilitiw, aId the desire to make the Central Intelligence Agmcy as effective as possRile,so that its employew can continue to conduct their incredR>lyimportant work in the most ethical eaicient, and safestway possible. The employeesof the Central Intelligence Agency deservethis, as does the American public. An effective Inspector General must maintain strong working relationships with these crucially important partnersboth inside and outside of the Central Intelligence Agency, and ensurethat each is treatedwith nspecb listened to, and engagedand consultedwith, h a dhect, honest, and professional manner. AccompHshing the shared goal of achieving and maintaining the most efficient, productive, and eaective intelligence operations, andthereby protecting our national security, canonly be realized ifthe responsibility is shared. If I am con6rrned as the Inspector General of the Central Intelligence Agency, I will work with the Congressional intelligence comInitteesinarupectful and productive mann% andwill strive to ensurethat they receive salient information in a timely fashionso that they can effectivelyconducttheir significantand indispensable oversight nsponsbilities. I will also work with all other patners to ensurethat communication and information sharing is constructiveandproductive. 49. EXPLAIN YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE RESPONSIBILITIESOF THE INSPECTORGnVERAL OF THE CENTRAL INIELLIGENCE AGENCY. The Inspector Generalof the Cmtral Intelligence Agency has nunerous statutodly enrmeratedresponsibilities, asset forth at 50 U.S.C. + 3517. Theseresponsibilities include, among others,creating an objective aId effective Inspector General’s Office, being appropriately accountable to Congress, and initiating and conducting independent inspections, invwtigations, and audi® relating to the programs and operations of the Central Intelligence Agency. At all times, due care must be taken to protect intelligence sourcesand methods in the preparation of all reports issued, and to comply with generally accepted government auditing standards. The Inspector GaIeral must provide den direction for how the inspections, investigations,and audits relating to the programs and operations of the Central Intelligence Agency will be pImned, conducted, supervised, md coordinated, to ensure they are conducted efficiently and in accordancewith applicable law and regulations. In addition, the Inspectrr Generalmust provide leadershipand guidance to ensurethat all policies promote economy, efficiency, and effectivenessh the administration of the Central Intelligence Agency’s programsmd operations, md to ensure that Baud md abuse are detected and prevented in such programs and opuatioas. The Inspector Gmaal must keep the Dhector of the Central Intelligence Agency 6dly and cwrently informed about problems anddeficimcies relating to the administration of Central Intelligence Agencyprogratm ml operations, and the necessity for and progress of corrective actions; and ensure that the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and the Hulse PermanentSelect Committee on intelligence are kept similarly informed of significant problems and de6ciencies, as well as the necessity for and the progress of corrective actions. The Inspector General must report to the Attorney General any information, allegation, or complaint received that relates to violations of federal crhinal law involving a program or operation of the Central intelligence Agency, and provide a copy of all suchreports to the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. The Inspector General must report immediately to the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency whenever she becomes aware of particularly serious or flagrant problems, abuses,or deficiencies relating to the administration of programs or operations, andfollow all statutory rules for hmdHng urgent concerns,including when andhow to report suchmattersto the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency and to Congress.In addition, the Inspector Generalmust submit to the Dhector of the Central intelligenceAgency timely and sufficiently detailed semiannualmixins. With tBnd to all nputing nsponsR>ilities, the Inspector General must comply with the specific nwhements setforth at 50 U.S.C. § 3517. As with all federal Inspectors General, the Inspector General of the Central Intelligence Agency must work toward detecting, pnvmting, and helping to elhinate waste, emd, corruption, mismanagement,and abusw of authority nlating to the programs md activities they oversw. When audits, investigations, inspections, or reviewsnvealpossRHewrongdoingofmytype,Inspwtors Generalam oftenthe first to rweivethisinfmmation, and dIV must immediately communicatethose issua to appropriateleadershipand tngin to make recommendations to address those problems. I believe that the once of Inspector General’s findings and recommendations should be clear, well-founded, and c©efirlly analywd, md should be actionable and eaective. My approaChto oversight will include developing md fostering strong relationships with the Director of the Central Intelligence Agenqr and odIn members of the leaduship team, the Central Intelligmoe Agency’s workfmce, the Director of National Intelligence, and Congressto msun that i managemy nsponsibiliti® hr a mmner that is as own, inclusive, direct, and &anspnent aspossR>Ie. I m8pwt and admire the people of the Central Intelligence Agency, and their integrity, professionalism, and selflesscommitmentto their crucial mission. I will work with them to highlight the Central intelligence Agency’s myriad strengthswhile also identi&irB ueas that could tnnefit from malification or improvement. I believe that the Director of the Central Intelligence Agmcy, its other anployoes md contractors,the Director of National InteWgmce, Congrws, and 1 all sharethe desk to enhance,whawn and whenevu possRile,the Central Intelligence Agency’s operationsby eliminating all waste, Baud, corruptio& mismanagement,and abusesof authority. If confirmed, I will work in a pragmatic, cooperative, and constructive manner with all of thesecrucial partnersso that we can addresstogether any signiacant problems or deficienciesthat cometo light. One of the mury significant nsFnnsR)ilities of the Inspector General of the Central Intelligence Agency is to msun that the Central Intelligence Agency has a strong md effective whistleblower pr%raIn. Particularly hI an agency such as the Central Intelligence Agnrcy, which necnsadly operates largely in sma, it is imperative that those on the grolmd, who are quite possa)ly the first people to observe wasteftrl or wm unlawRrl activities, be provided a snun, protected, and effective meansof disclosing their concernsorobnr%tions without fear of reprisal or intinidation. It is essential that whistleblowus be respected as important partners h the oversigR process. If confirmed as the Inspeaor Genual of the Cartral Intelligmce Agency, I will take the steps needed to determinewhethn the Central Intelligence Agency’s whistleblower prwaln is su£6ciently strong and robust to not onbrinform pewIe how to law6aly discloseinformation,but to mcounge whistleblowersto come forward with such information I will also take the requisite steps to ensure that poEci% are in place to protect whistleblowers Boar npdsal, or threat ofnprisal, if they do come forward in an authodzedmanner md disclose in good faith allegatiow of wrongdoing. Whistleblowers are not the enemia, and hiding burying, or nRning to see a problem does nd solve that problem; the delay h addressingthe problem simply allows it to fest% replicate,or growdeeperroots. Working cooperatively with the other hrspectors General throughout the Intelligence Commmtty is also an important ruponsbility for the Inspector General of the Central Intelligence Agency. For example, active participation in the InspectorsGeneralForum, which is comprised of the twelve InspectorsGeaaal with ovasight nsponsR>ility for elements of the Intelligence Commrmity, facilitates discussion of shared concerns and challenges,analysis of lessons learned and ea%tive solutions hplemented, and an exploradon of opportunities to wolk togethu to ameliorate or atldras some of the thorniest issues being &oed hr the IntelligenceCommunity; such oplnrtunities might include pmposhg to the Congressionalin@Uigmce committeesnew legislation or legislative modifications to existing legislation. BecauseI was fortunate to have myed recently as the Principal Deputy InwecH)r General of the Intelligence Community, I am very familiar with and understand the oomplodty, signi6anoe, and multi-faceted arality of the nsponsR>iliaes and demmds I would assume should I be con6nned as the Inspector General of the Central Intelligence Agmcy. One of the most important nsponsR>ilities is to ensure that the once of the Tn$$)ector General itself is run ef6ciently, that its employees are performing to their highest ability, that they feel included and respected, and that they are ector General will in turn deal with those findhrgs in an open and honest way, and make ncommmdations concerning those findhgs that are pragmatic, reasonable,and designed not to tear down but to build up and improve the Central Intelligence Agency’s eRectivmessmdeaiciency. They must feel confident that no findings will be inappropriately ignored or hidden, but will be analyzed and addressed in a professional and pragmatic manner. The InwwtorGenaal must rwpwt the muhipbrwRing mquiranents she has to 6l1611,and report findings to the appropriate parties, whether the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, the Director of National Intelligence, and/or the Congressionaloversight committees. Thoseparties should be viewed as pubners in the effort to detect, prevent, and eliminate Rand, waste, abuse of authority, wrongdoing, or illegal activity; the Inspeaor General must include them My and dirwtly so that solutions to problems can be found, systemic changesrecommmded wrd implementedwhen warrmt
