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."
