Rev., No. 2 (Spring 1987)(copy attached). 18 PART B - QUALIFICATIONS 14.QUALIFICATIONS (DESCRIBE WHY YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE QUALIFIED TO SERVE IN THE POSITIONFOR WHICH YOU HAVE BEEN NOMINATED): I believe I am qualified to serveas the Assistant Attorney Generalfor National Securitybasedon my record of public service and leadership of people and organizations dedicated to protecting national security. In several leadership positions in the national security field, both as career official and political appointee, I have demonstrated my ability to lead people in demanding legal and operational settings, gained valuable experience working within the Department of Justice and across the Intelligence Community, and contributed to the achievement of important national security initiatives to protect the nation. From 2011 to 2014, 1 servedasthe Director of the National CounterterrorismCenter. Following the recommendations of the 9/1 1 Commission, NCTC was established as the primary organization in the U.S. government for the analysis and integration of counterterrorism intelligence. The agency is also responsible for sharing terrorism threat information across the counterterrorism enterprise, maintaining an authoritative databaseof known and suspectedterrorists, and integrating the national counterterrorismeffort through planning and strategydevelopment. As the Director of NCTC, I led a diverse workforce comprised of intelligence officers from acrossthe government, including analysts detailed from the CIA, FBI, and DoD, dedicatedto thesemissions. I representedthe Office of the Director of National Intelligence in numerousNational Security Council meetings,briefing Principals and Deputies on threat information and counterterrorism operations. I supported the Director of National Intelligence in carrying his mission of integrating the Intelligence Community. I also interacted routinely with counterparts in other countries focused on shared counterterrorism objectives. In addition, I appearedoften before the congressional committees, and briefed this Committee regularly both in hearingsand informal roundtable settingsto ensurethat we fulfilled our oversightresponsibilities. As General Counselfor the National Security Agency from 2010 to 2011, 1servedas the chief legal officer for NSA and managed a large legal office dedicated to providing legal support and advocacy on behalf of NSA’s missions, including its counterterrorism efforts. I also served as a member of NSA’s senior leadership team and as the principal legal advisor to the NSA Director. As General Counsel,1 fulfilled a critical role in guiding and supportingNSA’s operationsand in ensuringthat the agency’sactivities adhereto all applicable legal rules and policies. It is the responsibility of the General Counsel’s Office to identify, analyze and resolve the complex and novel legal and policy issuesthat theseactivities often present. During my tenure, for example, 1 led efforts on behalf of NSA to addresssignificant issuesinvolving the collection and analysisof intelligence, authority for its counterterrorism activities, and the agency’s emerging cyber security efforts. In this role, I sought to ensurethat NSA hasthe authority necessaryto carry out its missions in a manner consistentwith the agency’s bedrock commitment to the Constitution and the laws and policies that govern its actions From 2009 to 2010, 1 servedas the head of the GuantanamoReview Task Forceand led the review of detainees at Guantanamo in accordance with the President’s executive order. In this capacity, I was responsible for establishing and supervising an interagency task force of national security 19 professionals from acrossthe federal government and for managing the process for compiling and analyzing the relevant intelligence information on eachdetainee. The interagency nature of the review was designedto promote collaboration and exchangeof information and to ensurethat all relevantperspectives–including military, intelligence, homelandsecurity, diplomatic, and law enforcement–contributed fully to the detaineereview process. Over 100 staff membersservedon the task force over the course of the one-year review, including senior military officers; intelligence analysts from CIA, NCTC, DIA, FBI, and DHS; FBI agents; military prosecutors and investigators; and federal prosecutors and national security lawyers. The task force assembled and sifted through large volumes of intelligence information and examined this information to assessthe threat posed by the detaineein light of the national security interestsof the United States. Thesetask force assessmentswere presentedto senior officials representing the federal agenciesresponsible for the review and were considered by these officials in reaching decisions for each detainee consistent with the executive order and U.S. national security. From 2006 to 2009, as a senior career official in the Department of Justice’s National Security Division–a newly formed division in the Department–I managedintelligence and surveillance operations and the oversight of these activities. During the 2009 Presidential transition, I served as the acting Assistant Attorney General for National Security, overseeing the work of the entire division. As the Deputy Assistant Attorney Generalwith responsibility for intelligenceactivities, 1 managed over 125 attorneys and support staff members dedicated to the Department’s intelligence upvlaLIVll D allu kJVv1DlhIIL HIll LD• v Ul 1111 DDIUll VV aD tV VIIDUl v Lllal llILb/lllj•3\#llV\#\zVllllllUlll Ly ainv11\d 1vtRI= including CIA, FBI, and NSA–had the tools necessaryto conduct sensitive surveillance and other intelligence operations. To accomplish this mission, we worked cooperatively with agents and analysts to develop and analyze facts necessaryto ensurethat intelligence activities could go forward consistent with legal requirements. In addition, I was responsible for managing the Department of Justice’s implementation of landmark changesin the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and worked in close collaboration with the Intelligence Community to interpret new statutory provisions, addresspolicy and technical challenges, and adopt new oversight mechanisms to ensurethe effective and lawful use of the government’s new surveillance authority. I also implemented a comprehensive reorganization of the Department's intelligence components to align eachorganizational element with its core responsibilities to enhance management and accountability, and designed and implemented the first Department component dedicated to intelligence oversight. As SpecialCounselto the FBI Director from 2004 to 2005, 1handleda wide array of policy and operational matters in support of the FBI’s national security and counterterrorism mission. I gained key insights about the role, capabilities and structure of the FBI, as well as other intelligence agencies that comprise the government’s combined counterterrorism community. In particular, I contributed to the reform of the FBI and–in responseto a 2005 Presidentialdirective–the establishmentof the FBI’s National Security Branch, which combines the missions and resourcesof the Bureau’s counterterrorism, counterintelligence, weapons of mass destruction, and intelligence elements. I served as a federal prosecutor for over a decade, including in a supervisory position overseeing the investigation and prosecution of international terrorists. As a federal prosecutor, I learned first-hand the value of working as team with professionals in operational roles and of building coalitions with federal, state and local partners. In addition, this experience fostered an appreciation of the importance of rigorous and unbiased analysis of complex, sometimes fragmentary information. I also 20 learned to present this information in a clear, concise and steadfast manner. Finally, I gained a deep understandingof the laws and policies that define and limit the government’sactions in a domestic law enforcement setting and that protect the civil liberties and privacy of American citizens. In eachof thesepositions, I havetried to enableand supportthe people I havehad the privilege of leading by providing the resources,guidance,and direction necessaryto develop professionally and to be successful. I have endeavored to lead by example–to approach each challenge with integrity, fairness, and resolve–and to demonstrate the character, dedication, and judgment essential to achievingresults. Since leaving government,I have remainedan active participant in the issuesthe National Security Division faces,teaching coursesat Harvard Law School and the University of Virginia on national security law and policy and speaking and writing regularly on these issues. As a co-founder and leaderof a cybersecuritycompany and the leaderof security at a global company basedin the United States,I have gained a deep understanding and appreciation of the security challenges the private sector faces and the importance of fostering trust between the government and private sector in order to build collaborativerelationships. In short, over the course of my government career, I have served in several leadership positions dedicated to defending the nation. This service, along with my more recent roles in the private sector, hashelpedto provide me with the knowledge,judgment, and experienceto succeedas the Assistant Attorney Generalfor National Security. I hope that the Committee will judge that my record of service,as well as my academicbackground, qualify me to be confirmed for this critical position. 21 PART C - POLITICAL AND FOREIGN AFFILIATIONS 15.POLITICAL ACTIVITIES (LIST ANY biEbiBERSHns OR OFFICESHELD DqOR FnqANCL4L CONTRIBUTIONS OR SER\’ICES RENDERED TO.

IN PARTICULAR, CHARACTERIZE WHAT YOU BELIEVE TO BE THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE NATIONAL COUNTERTERRORISM CENTER AND THE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEES OF THE CONGRESSRESPECTIVELY IN THE OVERSIGHT PROCESS. Congressionaloversight is essentialto the effective conduct of intelligence activities. The obligation of the Assistant Attorney Generalfor National Security is to assistthe Committee in carrying out its legitimate oversight duties and to foster a cooperative relationship with the intelligence community and oversight committees. The Intelligence Community’s responsibility to provide information to Congressis embodied in Title 5 of the National Security Act of 1947, which requiresthe Intelligence Community to keepthe congressional intelligence committees “fully and currently informed” of significant intelligence activities, significant anticipatedintelligence activities, and significant intelligence failures. In my view and based on my experience, congressional oversight is fundamental to the Intelligence Community’s ability to operatewithin the structureof our government. First, congressionaloversight is essentialto improving the quality of intelligence and the effective, efficient operationof the Intelligence Community. Members of Congressbring a vital perspectiveto the difficult issuesthe Intelligence Community faces. In addition, oversight is critical in building the trust of both Congress and the American peoplethat the Intelligence Community exercisesits authority in a mannerthat is appropriately transparent and protects the civil liberties and privacy rights of U.S. citizens. In this way, I firmly believe the oversight processprovides an essential check on the Intelligence Community, and I believe in and value the congressionaloversight process. If I am confirmed as the Assistant Attorney Generalfor National Security, I am committed to continuing the practice of open communication and transparencywith the congressional oversight committees. 49. EXPLAIN YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE NATIONAL SECURITY DIVISION. 31 Congresscreatedthe National Security Division to carry out the mission of Departmentof Justiceto protect the United Statesfrom threatsto our national security by pursuingjustice under the law. To strengthen the effectiveness of the federal government’s national security efforts, the Division ensures coordination and unity of purpose between prosecutors and law enforcement agenciesand the intelligencecommunity. The responsibility of the Assistant Attorney General (AAG) for National Security is to lead the Division in discharging its duties and functions, as prescribed in statute and regulation. See 28 C.F.R.§ 0.72. To that end, the AAG overseesthe work of the Division, coordinatesclosely with the Department’s law enforcement and interagency partners on national security matters, and acts as the Department’s liaison with the intelligence community. Among other duties, the AAG overseesthe Counterterrorism Section and the Counterintelligence and Export Control Section, which supervise national security investigations and prosecutions, including through consultation and approvals required by the Justice Manual. The AAG also overseesand approves applications for orders under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA) and representsthe United Statesbefore the Foreign Intelligence SurveillanceCourt and the Foreign Intelligence SurveillanceCourt of Review. The AAG advises the Attorney General on matters related to the national security activities of the United Statesand ensuresthat all the Department’snational security activities are effectively coordinated. The AAG representsthe Attorney General on the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) and the Committee for the Assessment of Foreign Participation in the United StatesTelecommunications Services Sector (known as “Team Telecom”). The AAG provides advice and legal assistanceto government agencieson matters of national security law and represents the Department on interagency committees dealing with national security matters. The AAG also participates in international engagementswith counterparts in foreign countries and international organizations to coordinate on operational and policy matters in furtherance of Department priorities relating to national security.
