INDICATE ANY SPECIALIZED INTELLIGENCE OR NATIONAL SECURITY EXPERTISEYOU HAVE ACQUIRED FLAVrNG SERVED IN THE POSITIONS DESCRIBED IN QUESTIONS 8 AND/OR 9. I have worked on a wide variety of national security law and policy issuesthrough most of my nearly 28 years in the Executive Branch, including in senior legal positions at the Departments of Justice, State, and Defense and at the National Security Council. I began my government career as a Special Counsel to the General Counsel at the Pentagon, where I worked on a diverse range of policy and litigation matters conhonting the Office of the Secretary of Defense, including issues associated with armed conflict, defense contracting, military personnel matters, military justice issues,intelligence issues,and many others. After that, I worked for about six yearson the National Security Council staff as a Deputy Legal Adviser, working on many national security law andpolicy issuesof importance to the entire govemment. UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED I was working as an attorney on the NSC staff when the September 11 attacks occurred and as a result I lived through many of the momentousnational security legal and policy developmentsthat occurred in the wake of those attacks,including the evolution of our counterterrorism polici6s and authorities, the creation of the Departmentof Homeland Security, intelligence reforms and the creation of the Office of Director of National Intelligence, and many odrers. I also helped address many legal and policy issues arising from the war in Iraq, gained invaluable experiencewith the interagency processmanagedby the National Security Council staff, and worked closely with and learned a great deal &om senior lawyers across the government in the interagency process, including the intelligence community. I next spent more than two years at the Department of State, first as Assistant Legal Adviser for Management and then as Assistant Legal Adviser for Diplomatic Law and Litigation. In this time, I learneda lot about international law as well as the many important domestic law issuesthat routinely con#ont any agencycounselfrom a management perspective, such as fiscal law, administrative law, personnel law, federal records law, and the like. I also gained critical experience managing and leading a legal office and understanding how lawyers can help support the day-to-day operations of federal agencies. Nexl I joined the National Security Division (NSD) at the Departmentof Justiceas Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General, the secondmost senior attorney in the division that is responsiblefor managing the full range of national security issuesfor the Departmentof Justice. Later I becameDeputy Assistant Attorney General overseeingNSD’s Office of Law and Policy. In almost fifteen years at DOJ, I have deepenedmy knowledge of important national security authorities suchas FISA and Executive Order 12333while also learning first-hand how criminal justice authorities are used to help protect our country from national security threats,whether they be from terrorists, spies,malicious cyber actors, or hostile nation states. For most of my time at DOJ I have managedan office in NSD responsiblefor providing advice and support on national security laws and policies; participating in, as well as supporting and advising senior DOJ leadership on, the National Security Council process;preparing and considering national security-related legislation; handling appealsin national security criminal prosecutions; coordinating with the Civil Division on civil litigation related to national security; serving as the principal liaison with the intelligence community on many policy matters; developing Attorney General-approvedguidelines governing inte]ligence community elements’ activities as they relate to U.S. person information; handling a number of international issuesrelating to national security at the Department, including facilitating cross-borderaccessto data with our allies; addressinga range of privacy and civil liberties issuesrelating to the national security work of the department; and others, I have often worked extensively with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and successive General Counsels of ODNI on a wide range of issues over the years. Since April of this year, I have served on detail as a Senior Adviser in the Office of General Counsel in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and have started to gain a greater understanding of the activities of ODNI and the legal and policy issues ODNI confronts in the course of this detail assignment. 11, HONORS AND AWARDS (PROVIDE INFORMATION ON SCHOLARSHIPS, FELLOWSHIPS, HONORARY DEGREES.

IN PARTICULAR CHARACTERIZE WHAT YOU BELIEVE TO BE THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE GENERAL COUNSELFOR THE OFFICEOF THE DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE RESPECTIVELY, AND THE INTELLIGENCE IN THE OVERSIGHT COMMiTrEES OF THE CONGRESS. PROCESS. Under 50 U.S.C. 309 1 and 3092, the President,the Director of National Intelligence, and the heads of all departmentsand agenciesinvolved in intelligence activities have a statutory obligation to “keep the congressionalintelligence committees fully and currently informed of all intelligence activities,” and the DNI and heads of departments and agencies must also furnish the congressional intelligence committees “any information and material concerning intelligence activities , , . which is within their custody or control, and which is requestedby either of the congressionalintelligence committees in order to carry out its authorized responsibilities,” subject to the proviso to act “consistent with due regard for the protection from unauthorized disclosure of classified information relating to sensitive intelligence sourcesand methods or other exceptionally sensitive matters.” The General Counselprovides legal advice and support to the Director and ODNI stan in fulfilling theseresponsibilities. Under certain circumstances,the Presidentmay restrict access to covert action activities to only the chairmanand vice-chairman of the intelligence committeesand the House and Senateleadership. See50 U.S.C. 3093, The congressionalintelligence committees“provide vigilant legislative oversight over the intelligence activities of the United Statesto assurethat such activities are in conformity with the Constitution and laws of the United States.” This includes reviewing intelligence reports, budgets, and activities; investigating matters on behalf of the committees;preparing legislation; and receiving briefings. Given the secrecyof intelligence activities, legislative oversight in this area is particularly important and it is critical that the intelligence committeesand the elements of the intelligence community have effective means of communication and close and productive working relationships. 49. EXPLAIN YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE RESPONSIBILITIESOF THE GENERAL COUNSEL FOR THE OFFICEOF THE DiRECTOR OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE. UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED Under 50 u.S.C. 3028, the General Counsel“is the chief legal officer of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence” urd “shall perform such Rrnctionsas the Director of National Intelligence may prescribe.” The General Counsel does not otherwise have responsibilities assigned in law. As chief legal omcer3the General Counsel is responsiblefor providing legal advice and support to the Director in carTying out her responsibilities under the National Security Act and other applicable law, including the responsibility to ensure compliance with the Constitution and laws of the United Statesby elementsof the intelligence community. I understandthe GeneralCounselmay also be askedto provide advice and support on policy questionsconfronting the Director or her office that may have a legal dimension or legal implications or where the advice and assistanceof an attorney may otherwise be useful. The General Counsel leads the Office of General Counsel in ODNI and its efforts to provide legal advice and support to ODNI staff on the full range of activities in which they may be engaged. The General Counsel also works with attorneysin other federal agenciesboth within andbeyond the Intelligence Community on legal issuesof Gornrrlon concern.
