FBI security review team to meet next month
By Kellie Lunney
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
A group of former government leaders tapped to review FBI security
policies will meet for the first time next month, according to a
notice published in the Federal Register Tuesday.
Earlier this month, Attorney General John Ashcroft authorized the
creation of a commission to study security policies for sensitive and
classified information at the FBI. The commission, which will be
chaired by William H. Webster, former director of the FBI and CIA,
includes seven former government leaders and one designated federal
officer.
The commission will review the quality of the FBI’s current security policies and
programs and recommend how the agency can improve its handling of classified
information.
Members of the commission include: William S. Cohen, Secretary of Defense in the
Clinton administration; former Speaker of the House Thomas S. Foley, D-Wash.; and
Carla Hills, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development in
the Ford administration.
The commission will receive administrative support from the Justice Department and
funding from the FBI. According to the Justice Department, the commission will need
about $1.2 million to cover its costs.
The commission must complete its work by March 31, but the Justice Department can
extend its term, according to the group’s charter.
All of the commission’s meetings will be closed to the public to protect sensitive
information and the safety of intelligence personnel, according to a July 16 memo from
the Justice Department.
“The potential release of this information could seriously jeopardize the integrity of
our internal security programs and of ongoing intelligence and counterintelligence
investigations,” wrote Janis Sposate, acting assist
ant attorney general for administration at Justice, in the memo.
In July, Justice and FBI officials revealed that more than 400
weapons and 180 laptop computers--including some holding sensitive
and classified information--were missing from the agency. The FBI has
faced harsh criticism over the last few months, most notably for its
failure to turn over all documents to lawyers for Oklahoma City
bomber Timothy McVeigh, a controversy that resulted in a temporary
postponement of McVeigh’s execution.
The consulting firm Arthur Andersen LLP is currently conducting a
review of the FBI’s management practices, including recordkeeping,
technology and human resources issues.

simply because it has been handed down for many generations. Do not

not believe in anything simply because it is written in Holy Scriptures. Do not
believe in anything merely on the authority of Teachers, elders or wise men.
Believe only after careful observation and analysis, when you find that it
agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all.
Then accept it and live up to it."
