I will check the quotations from the book before you launch. I'm thinking we should send it out Wednesday. To all: On a flight home from overseas last week, I did two seemingly unrelated things: (1) I finished a book a number of you have recommended to me -- u The Road to Character11 by David Brooks; and (2) I retrieved from my folio the envelope in which I carry the Declaration of Independence pieces I will hand out Saturday for the annual family reading. Piece #1 is reproduced below. (As you can see, my kids have given it an "authentic look by 11 Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA FBI 18-cv-1800-36 Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA pouring coffee on it and burning the edges.) You may recall that boyfriends typically get a boring part, which is as it should be. But, given that one of them is becoming my son-in-law this summer and I like the guy, I may upgrade him to something more stirring. These two things actually connect. In his excellent book, Brooks writes about many things, including a modern tendency to lose connection to common traditions and history. He writes of something he thinks is increasingly rare: [P]eople [who] seem to have been born into this world with a sense of indebtedness for the blessing of being alive.

I will check the quotations from the book before you launch. I'm thinking we should send it out Wednesday. To all: On a flight home from overseas last week, I did two seemingly unrelated things: (1) I finished a book a number of you have recommended to me -- The Road to Character by David Brooks; and 11 ll (2) I retrieved from my folio the envelope in which I carry the Declaration of Independence pieces I will hand out Saturday for the annual family reading. Piece #1 is reproduced below. (As Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA FBI 18-0l-1800-39 Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA 11 you can see, my kids have given it an "authentic look by pouring coffee on it and burning the edges.) You may recall that boyfriends typically get a boring part, which is as it should be. But, given that one of them is becoming my son-in-law this summer and I like the guy, I may upgrade him to something more stirring. These two things actually connect. In his excellent book, Brooks writes about many things, including a modern tendency to lose connection to common traditions and history. He writes of something he thinks is increasingly rare: [P]eople [who] seem to have been born into this world with a sense of indebtedness for the blessing of being alive. They are aware of the transmission of generations, what has been left to them by those who came before, their indebtedness to their ancestors, their obligations to a set of moral responsibilities that stretch across time.'' 11 To illustrate the kind of person he means, he quotes from an American soldier's letter home to his wife and children on the eve of the first great battle of the Civil War.

On Sunday, July 5, 2015,1 !wrote: I sent this to Ben Wittes for lawtare after reading a blog post replying to his article about our conversation. I think it frames the issue the way I like. Let me know if I should pull it back for any reason. b6 -1 I am worried we are talking past each other with respect to "Going Dark," so let me try to frame it in a way that I hope is fair-minded and provides a basis for healthy discussion: These are things I believe to be true: 1. The logic of encryption will bring us, in the not-to-distant future, to a place where devices and data in motion are protected by universal strong encryption. That is, our conversations and our "papers and effects" will be locked in such a way that permits access only by participants to a conversation or the owner of the device holding the data. 2. There are many benefits to this. Universal strong encryption will protect all of us -- our innovation, our private thoughts, and so many other things of value -- from thieves of all kinds. We will all have lock-boxes in our lives that only we can open and in which we can store all that is valuable to us. There are lots of good things about this. 3. There are many costs to this. Public safety in the United States has relied for a couple centuries on the ability of the government, with predication, to obtain permission from a court to access the "papers and effects" and communications of Americans. The Fourth Amendment reflects a tradeoff inherent in ordered liberty: To protect the public, the government sometimes needs to be able to see an individual's stuff, but only under appropriate circumstances and with appropriate oversight. 4. These two things are in tension in many contexts . When the government's ability -- with appropriate predication and court oversight -- to see an individual's stuff goes away, it will affect public safety. That tension is vividly illustrated by the current ISIL threat, which involves ISIL operators in Syria recruiting and tasking dozens of troubled Americans to kill people, a process that increasingly takes part through mobile messaging apps that are end-to-end encrypted, communications that may not be intercepted, despite judicial orders under the Fourth Amendment. But the tension could as well be illustrated in criminal investigations all over the country. There is simply no doubt that bad people can communicate with impunity in a world of universal strong encryption. 5. Democracies resolve such tensions through robust debate. I really am not a maniac (or at least my family says so). But my job is to try to keep people safe. In universal strong encryption, I see something that is with us already and growing every day that will inexorably affect my ability to do that job. It may be that, as a People, we decide the benefits here outweigh the costs and that there is no sensible, technically feasible way to optimize privacy and safety in this particular context, or that public safety folks will be able to do their job well enough in the world of universal strong encryption. Those are decisions Americans should make, but I think part of my job is make sure the debate is informed by a reasonable understanding of the costs.

(DO) (FBI); James B. Corney Subject: 9/11 message DRAFT To all: I was reflecting on this 14th anniversary of 9/11 and wondering whether folks find it odd that we still mark the date each year. For people who were adults 14 years go, and especially for those who were working for the government, the event is seared into our memories and our identities. We all know where we were that morning, how we felt, and what we did next. It changed who many of us were. But it goes beyond the adults of 2001. A whole lot of kids decided that day what they would do with their lives, and we are lucky so many have chosen to do it with us. I don't know whether a future Director will send an email marking the 34th anniversary of 9/11, but given how large that day looms in the life of this institution and so many who work here, it makes good sense to pause and mark this day. It was on this day 14 years ago that the FBI made a promise to the American people that we would do all we could to stop it from happening again. And we have kept that promise, which has required extraordinary effort, and change. We have worked very, very hard. We have also changed in many ways. And yet we have stayed the same in the ways that matter most: our fidelity to doing things the right way; our bravery in the Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA FBI 18-cv-1800-68 Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA face of evil; and our integrity -- the determination to always be honest and independent. I hope you will take a moment today to reflect on those who were killed and wounded 14 years ago, to thank those who have been in the fight since that day, and to be grateful that we are part of the FBI.

The title of the conference is "Expectation of Privacy: Encryption, Surveillance, and Big Data." The invitation with additional details is attached again here. As the head of the Center for the Study of American Democracy here at Kenyon, I am putting the conference together and would be happy to follow up with you further about the details.

I am attaching an invitation for Jim to attend and provide the dinner keynote remarks for the UN convening that we spoke about on the phone. We also have an invitation coming to you to attend on June 30th (which will come next week sometime) that will be sent to this email address. I have included some background (which is all known to the FBI) on why this convening is happening. If there is anything at all I can do to lobby both of you to attend, please let me know! I have asked the FBI to provide me with Jim's scheduler's contact information so that I can make sure the invitation also goes through proper channels. Obviously if Jim can only attend the dinner, we understand. The nobel peace prize nominee Nadia Murad Basee Taha (who was enslaved in an ISIS rape camp) will be speaking in the morning. The Alvin Ailey Dance Company will also be performing "Cry," their signature piece which tells the story of a woman who has to endure American slavery after Nadia's talk. So hope you both can make it. Best, b6 -2 Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA FBI 18-cv-1800-331 Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA Background Over 3,000 Yazidi women and girls are thought to be currently enslaved by !SIL, which is organizing slave contract registries and markets, advocating for the revival of slavery through social policy and media outlets, and even issuing 'how-to' manuals. The United Nations Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict, Ms. Zainab Bangura, recently warned that ISi L has institutionalized slavery and sexual violence to increase recruitment by promising male fighters access to women and girls, to populate a new "caliphate" through forced pregnancy, to terrorize communities into compliance, displace populations from strategic areas and generate revenue through trafficking, slave trade and ransoms. ISIL's systematization of sexual slavery reportedly even extends to the promotion of the use of birth control drugs to prevent pregnancy interfering with enslaved women and girls' sexual availability to their captors. Likewise, the 'emir' of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, has publicly stated that Boko Haram intends to enslave civilian populations that it attacks, and to sell women and girls-perhaps several thousand women and girls have been kidnapped to date. The US State Department 2014 report on Tra ck- ing of Persons suggests that some of these women have been "subjected to domestic servitude, forced labour, and sex slavery through forced marriages to its militants". about this convening Fortunately, there is a growing global movement to combat human trafficking in conflict. In an historic first, in December 2015, US Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Samantha Power presided over the first ever thematic UN Security Council debate on Trafficking in Persons in Conflict. The Security Council adopted a Presidential Statement that "condemns in the strongest terms reported instances of trafficking in persons in areas affected by armed conflict", and notes that human trafficking may form part of terrorist groups' use of sexual and gender-based violence as part of their strategic objectives. The Security Council is likely to discuss this issue again in December 2016, when it will consider a report of the UN Secretary-General on these issues. Ahead of that discussion, the United Nations University-a UN thinktank created by the General Assembly-is convening a discussion at Grace Farms on 30 June and 1 July 2016, to think about how the Security Council can encourage law enforcement actors-and the global nancial sector-to shape and strengthen new tools to disrupt tra eking in con ict. This workshop will bring together a select group of approximately 100 senior diplomatic, law enforcement, academic, nancial sector and UN experts and o cials, for one and half days of in-depth discussion.

I understand the need for quality control on these platforms but I think Bureau may have over-corrected.

Still making my way through the article but I'm really enjoying it. I just wish that I had read it before my time at the Bureau! Per our conversation, here are some thoughts re cyber reforms. I divided the suggestions into two categories: tactical and strategic. By tactical, I mean reforms that are more bureaucratic in nature. This category is probably easier to fix (though some will be notably difficult). Strategic is more cultural, and will likely require more long-term thinking. I would be happy to go more in depth on each of these suggestions, if you'd like.

Date: .... b6 -1 To: "James B. Corney" Subject: Speech final Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA FBI 18-cv-1800-427 Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA 1 IACP Plenary San Diego, California October 2016 One of the best things about my job is the opportunity to get to know the leadership of American law enforcement. Over the last three years, I have had the good fortune to know and talk with many of you. And although I haven't walked in your shoes, I thought it might be useful to share a perspective from where I am, as part of an organization that is in all of your communities, depends upon you, and constantly learns from you. I have learned from you that this is a uniquely difficult time in American law enforcement. I realize that "unique" is an over-used word, but I think it applies here. And enough of you have told me that this is the hardest time in your career that I suspect you agree. Your people are caught in difficult and dangerous riptides. Your patrol officers, your deputies, your detectives, your agents face challenges that those who came before them could hardly imagine. Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA FBI 18-cv-1800-428 Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA 2 There is water rushing in and water rushing out, and your people are standing where these unpredictable currents meet. They are being pulled in different directions. They are being pulled by the communities they serve, by their colleagues, by expectations, by their leaders, by the media. There is a very real chance of drowning in the currents. There is a need for leadership in the middle of those riptides. There is a need for people to stand tall, plant their feet, speak the truth, and calm the waters. So what kind of leaders are we looking for among the riptides? First of all, they are leaders who know their people. They know they became cops and sheriffs to do good. To help others. To serve their communities and to serve all the people who live there - whatever race, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation they may be. Your folks signed up to serve all of the people, all of the time. Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA FBI 18-cv-1800-429 Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA 3 Second, the leaders we need know what good policing looks like. They know it because they have lived it. Up-close, respectful, disciplined, firm, fair, lawful, and transparent law enforcement is what has always worked best, even in neighborhoods with the most significant crime problems. The leaders we need understand that a combination of kindness and toughness, of humility and confidence, of decency and determination, delivers the best results. Third, the leaders we need know their neighborhoods with the greatest need for police and they know the people who live there. In particular, they know the history and journey of black America. They know the hopes, the dreams, the disappointments and the pain. They know that African-Americans, like all Americans, want good policing because they know it is the path to safety and prosperity. Fourth, the leaders we need understand that our challenges are multiplied by a narrative that is forming about American policing. It is a narrative that has formed, in the absence of good information and in the absence of actual data and it is this: biased police are killing black men at Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA FBI 18-cv-1800-430 Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA 4 epidemic rates. It is a narrative driven by video images of real misconduct, possible misconduct, and perceived misconduct. It is a narrative given force by the power of empathy. It is also a narrative pushed forward by the surprise and shock of civilians at seeing how fast and complicated police activity can be. The leaders we need know that many people of good will in this country - decent, caring people - believe with all their hearts that American law enforcement is using deadly force against black people at epidemic levels. The leaders we need know Americans believe that because those are the videos they see, over and over and over again. To these Americans, each video becomes further proof of nation-wide police brutality. People of good will are protesting - including here in San Diego - because they believe there is an epidemic of police violence against black people. Of course, however good their hearts, Americans actually have no idea whether the number of black people or brown people or white people being shot by police is up, down, or sideways over the last ten years. They have no idea whether black people or brown people are Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA FBI 18-cv-1800-431 Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA 5 more likely to be shot during encounters than white people are. There is actually some recent Harvard research focused on ten major departments, analyzing over 1000 shootings showing lethal force is more likely to be used against white people, while non-lethal force is more likely to be used against black people. But we really don't know well enough on a national basis. There were 10.5 million arrests in this country last year, and many times that number of encounters between officers and civilians. Out of those tens of millions of encounters, how many people were shot? What did they look like? What were the circumstances? Is deadly force use trending up or down? Where is it worst and where is it best? Nobody knows. They have no idea of these things because we have no idea of these things. We simply don't know. As a country, we simply haven't bothered to collect the data, to gather the information. And in the absence of information, we have anecdotes, we have videos, we have good people believing something terrible is going on. In a nation of over 750,000 sworn law enforcement officers and tens Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA FBI 18-cv-1800-432 Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA 6 of millions of police encounters each year, a handful of videos serve as proof of an epidemic. And that sense by good people that the police are doing terrible things has real costs. The leaders we need know that this narrative makes it hard to gain our footing. It makes it hard for us to help people. Because in the absence of information, the narrative dominates and it changes everything. The leaders we need know we simply must change that and show ourselves and America what is true and accurate. Whatever that may be. We must have a national database about our use of deadly force. With accurate information, we can all get better. The leaders we need also know that the narrative divides us, that it can keep good officers in their cars and good people in their homes, separated by a chasm of fear and distrust. The leaders we need know that our officers are human beings, with families, obligations, hopes and dreams. They know our officers do not want to get famous or get dead. Our officers see the videos. They desperately do not want to be in one. They think about it all the time. Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA FBI 18-cv-1800-433 Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA 7 They also saw Dallas and Baton Rouge and Palm Springs and they follow every end-of-watch notification. They think about that all the time. They desperately don't want to leave their family behind, and their families desperately don't want to be left behind. The leaders we need worry that self-initiated police activity is on the decline in our most violent cities. Of course officers respond to calls; of course they make arrests, comfort victims, and interview witnesses. They still "do their jobs." They still risk their lives. Because they are good people. But they are also people and a good leader knows that. The leaders we need ask questions: Do my officers get out of their car at midnight to ask a group of kids what their business is on a street corner? Do they stop the car with tinted windows that just ran a stop sign in a high-crime neighborhood? Do they get out to pat down the known offender who has been standing for an hour on a known drug corner? Or, as you have told me, do they first ask themselves, "Could this get me famous or dead?" And the answer changes Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA FBI 18-cv-1800-434 Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA 8 policing and changes neighborhoods. The leaders we need see that. But they also see that's only one side of the divide. On the other side of the divide, the chasm of distrust, they know stand good people who saw something, or suspect something, or know something. When homicides are up but clearance rates are down, the leaders we need think about the divide, the chasm. If people don't trust the police, they aren't going to offer the tips, they aren't going to whisper to the cop that they saw the up-close shooting, that they know who just left 20 shell casings on the sidewalk in broad daylight, that they know where the gun ended up. Instead, they are going to stay inside on their own side of the divide, the chasm. More murders, more unsolved. And so into the chasm, into the gap of distrust, fall more dead young black men. Places like Chicago show us what the chasm looks like and how much pain it causes. The leaders we need ache over this, agonize over this, and refuse to stop speaking about it. Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA FBI 18-cv-1800-435 Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA 9 And so they keep talking, until they are hoarse. They talk to their citizens. They talk to the media. They talk to their local elected leaders. And, most of all, they talk to their officers. They love them and support them and hold them accountable. They fight for the equipment and training they need. They make clear what is expected of them, and make clear that they will have their back if they police well, even if it ends in tragedy, as it sometimes does. And to their communities, they make clear that good policing is up-close and firm-butrespectful; that policing is really, really hard and sometimes bad things happen, but those things will be met with transparency and thoughtful judgment; that community leaders should support their officers because they are, after all, their officers, saving lives and creating spaces where good things can grow. And in all that talking, the leaders we need show both sides they want and need the same policing. That is how the chasm will begin to close. That is how communities will find both healing and peace. Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA FBI 18-cv-1800-436 Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA 10 Those are the kind of leaders we need. The good news? Those are the kind of leaders so many of our communities have. I have come to know many of you personally as I have met with you and your troops, so I know we have these kinds of leaders. Thank you for planting your feet in the riptide, caring for your officers and for your community, and for helping calm the waters. *** But as you work to close the chasm, we face another threat from the narrative that policing is biased and violent and unfair. It threatens the future of policing so we have to talk about it as well. Who would chose to do this work? Who would choose to do something decried as inherently racist? Who would choose to risk getting famous or dead? Why on earth would a talented young person choose that life when they could choose a "respectable" profession? These questions should haunt us, because this country will be deeply sorry if that young talent kids who want to help others - chooses some Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA FBI 18-cv-1800-437 Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA 11 other way to serve. We need great teachers, and nurses, and social workers. But we also need great people of character and talent out there where the stakes are highest - where single moms are trying to find a life for their families, where a good kid needs a second chance, where old people want to sit on the porch, where there really are predators trying to kill people. If quality young people stop signing up, we may not notice it for a few years, but the day will come when we will be deeply sorry that we failed to explain to great young people why they should choose law enforcement, that we failed to show them the true heart of law enforcement. There are bad cops. There are departments with troubled cultures. Unfortunately, people are flawed. In any large group, there will be bad ones. All professions want to find and root out the bad ones. There are bad bankers, bad lawyers, and bad software engineers. There are companies and firms with troubled cultures. But for law enforcement, the spotlight is brighter and the standards are higher. That is the way it should be, given the power and authority we are entrusted with. We accept those standards and Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA FBI 18-cv-1800-438 Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA 12 must work hard to measure ourselves against them. And of course the pressure on cops is unique. There is no doubt that some cops come to see young men of color on their beat as perps because they see so many who have gone wrong. That's dumb and unjust and we have to constantly resist it, to train it out and root it out. Cops are also only called to scenes of hurt and pain; that can be warping and we have to be conscious of that danger. We have to show the cops who only work the overnight that there are good people in that neighborhood going to school and work, pushing strollers, and sitting on park benches in the daylight, including good young men trying to make a life. But I really can't give you an on-the-one-hand, on-the-other-hand thing here, because the truth is this: Police officers are overwhelmingly good people. They are overwhelmingly people who took exhausting, dangerous jobs because they want to help people. They chose lives of service and moral content because thaf s who they are. They want to stop bad guys from occupying Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA FBI 18-cv-1800-439 Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA 13 neighborhoods; they want to help old people off the floor and back into bed; they want to keep a young girl from a life on the street. Someone once said that you make a living by what you get; you make a life by what you give. These cops don't make a great living. But they make a great life, for themselves, and for those they protect. As we work to close the chasm, we need to show the young people of America what it is like to choose service over self. We need to show them what American law enforcement is really like. Because if they know what we know, they will want to be part of it. And we also need to show the people of America, especially people of color and especially the black community, what we are really like. Because if they see what we see, the chasm will start to close. I saw the true heart of American law enforcement in a church in Orlando in June. I went down to have a private meeting with the first responders to the attack at the Pulse nightclub. I wanted to thank them, in person, and privately. Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA FBI 18-cv-1800-440 Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA 14 As I stood looking out at the sea of faces, a hand went up. A man in uniform stood up. He told me his name and then he said, "I'm Jewish." That confused me, but he went on. "/ was one of the first there that night, and as I ran toward the sound ofgunfire, at my side was a Muslim officer. We were Jew and Muslim and Christian. We were white and black and Latino and Asian. We ran to help people we didn't know and we didn't care what they looked like. We ran toward the danger because that's who we are, that's what we do. I thought you should know that. I think people should know that." And then he sat down. That is the true heart of law enforcement. We are flawed. We must- and we will - work to get better. But we are good people from all walks of life who have chosen service over self. I know that. I think all people should know that. When I speak to young people I try to give them an odd perspective. Because life is filled with striving and stresses, with the need for money and the craving for recognition, all of which may obscure what really matters, I tell them to do something weird. I suggest that they Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA FBI 18-cv-1800-441 Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA 15 close their eyes and imagine themselves old and gray and about to die. I ask them to sit at the end of their lives and look back on their life and ask one question: "Who do I want to have been?,, Because if you ask it that way, things like money and houses and cars and even human honor are stripped away. And what really matters will come into view. I frame it that way for them because I hope some of them will answer the question as those in law enforcement have. You want to have been people who used what you had to help people who needed you - the bullied, the picked-on, the vulnerable, the weak, the frightened. That's who you will have been. And we must ensure that people of talent continue to understand that only in such a life is there real value, real wealth. We need to lead well. We need to collect accurate and complete information to inform the policing debates in this country. We need to show people the true heart of law enforcement. And, we need to close the chasm. If we do those things, and we do them well, we will save lives. And we will ensure that other great men and women Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA FBI 18-cv-1800-442 Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA 16 follow into this frustrating, exhausting, dangerous and thoroughly wonderful career.

Below is the background and bio. As I mentioned, it is always painful to ask someone to take the time to write a letter of recommendation, but I do sincerely thank you for your time. I think the Bu & DOJ are very underrepresented in a lot of these thinktank programs (they are very heavy on State, DoD, and USIC participants), so I look forward to helping put our best foot forward and wave the Bureau flag if fortunate enough to be selected. Thanks again! -Josh From:I Sent: .,_M,...o-nd ...a_y_,0....c-to_b_e_r.... 24 ...,.... 2.... 01....,6"""5"'"':5.,.4...,P....M . . . - - - - - - b6 -1 To: Josh Campbell Subject: Re: CNAS You definitely shouldn't drop. We think you should do this program because it will be good for you and the Bu. We just want to accomplish the goal without creating a precedent that will be awkward with others.

In hindsight, I probably should have approached him initially anyway in keeping with the chain of command. I definitely don't want to put anyone in an uncomfortable position or even appear to be benefitting personally from this amazing opportunity, so I'm honestly okay shelving the whole thing. Plenty of other opportunities available to meet and interact with my peers. Thx. b6 - 1 _______________ ____. wrote: On Oct 24, 2016, at 8:22 PM.,__ Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA FBI 18-cv-1800-444 Obtained by Cause of Action Institute via FOIA I drafted something, but think we should explore having Rybicki do the recommendation and say that I am fully supportive and willing to speak to them. He and I are both a little worried about the precedent of me writing a letter on behalf of an employee. He will discuss with you tomorrow. We will get you into the program.

Thanks again for your willingness to write a letter of rec in support of my application to the CNAS Next Generation Leaders program, which has an application deadline of 11/1. This is a great opportunity to meet other peers in national security positions outside the FBI. (I'll also be applying for CFR Term Membership, which is similar to the CNAS program, but the deadline for CFR isn't until January and I can essentially use the same letter content for both organizations.) It is quite painful to ask someone to write a letter recommending me for an emerging leaders program, but since they wouldn't just take my word for it like we do on the 954, I appreciate you taking the time to pen some thoughts. Once completed, I can attach the letter to the electronic application, or you can send it separately if you prefer confidentiality. In short, they are looking for your observations on my potential for leadership in the field of national security. Some recent practitioner-level examples might include my serving as interagency comms coordinator for our investigation of the Sony & OPM breaches, as well as the San Bernardino attack, which all required significant interaction with the WH and IC. Additionally, background on my previous field work is included in the bio pasted below. Since this is a program geared towards "young" leaders, they'll particularly be looking for evidence of leadership positions attained at a faster rate than one's peers mi ~ht normal Iv achieve! b6 -1 Thanks again sir.

I won't be able to fit mine on the feather this year, because there is so much I am thankful for. I have never been prouder of the FBI - and of my good fortune to share a decade of my life with you - than I am at this Thanksgiving. I hope that doesn't surprise you. Sure, there has been a fair amount of controversy this year, as we have found ourselves doing our work in the spotlight of an election year. But we have done it throughout, just as you would expect us to, in an honest, competent, and independent way. And what the spotlight sometimes obscures is just how much other work we are doing to protect the American people and uphold the Constitution of the United States. There is too much to list here, but there is one case I can't get out of my mind, even weeks later, because it so vividly illustrates why we chose this life. This fall, a beautiful six-year-old North Carolina girl was kidnapped off her front lawn by a stranger. Our folks rolled out immediately to help local law enforcement and used our expertise to track the phone of a known sex offender, which led to a remote, wooded area. The next morning searchers found her - alive without her clothes, chained by the neck to a tree deep in the woods, where the kidnapper had in tended to return. The picture of her wide eyes looking up at her rescuers as worked to free her has stayed with me since the moment I first saw it. I called our Charlotte Division folks and the Sheriff who led the search to thank them for their work. The Sheriff told me that the rescuers, grown law enforcement officers, stood together at the end in the command center and cried uncontrollably, because it almost never ends this way. I cried during that phone call for the same reason. I am thankful to be part of a group dedicated to protecting the innocent and finding the truth. I am thankful that we do it the right way, always. That's what would be on my feather, if it were big enough. Happy Thanksgiving.
