FBI Director Mueller Selects Arthur Money to Chair FBI Science and Technology Advisory Board

FBI Director Robert Mueller today announced the selection of Arthur Money as the first chairman of the FBI's Science and Technology Advisory Board. The Science and Technology Advisory Board was authorized by Congress in February 2003 with a charge to independently advise the Director on matters relating to science, technology, research, engineering, information management, and other matters of special interest to the FBI. The focus of the panel will be on the application of science and technology to address the FBI's priorities of preventing terrorist attacks, countering foreign intelligence operations, combating cyber-based attacks, and strengthening FBI collaboration with other law enforcement and intelligence partners.

"I am pleased Art has agreed to lead our inaugural Science and Technology Advisory Board," said Director Mueller. "Art brings to the table a wealth of experience and a proven track record of accomplishment - both in the private sector and in government service - that will help make the new board a success. I look forward to consulting with Art and the board and believe they will be a valuable asset to me and the entire FBI."
