claims (of which over 4,000 were filed) were closely analyzed by myself,
            other paralegals, and the attorneys in my office to determine if there had been

            a medically-demonstrated vaccine-related injury by the claimant.  I
            subsequently assisted the attorneys in my office on litigation arising from the
            Swine Flu Program.


            In my 25 years with the FTCA Branch, I worked on other vaccine-related
            litigation (In Re Sabin Oral Polio Products Liability Litigation, Multidistrict
            Litigation No. 780, District Court for the District of Maryland).  The purpose

            of the work of the attorneys and paralegals in my office was to assure that
            individuals who had medically-demonstrated injuries by these vaccinations
            were fairly compensated, and that claims filed by individuals who did not

            demonstrate a vaccine-related injury were denied.

            I also assisted the attorneys in my office in evaluating claims filed by

            individuals alleging personal injury due to the negligence of federal
            employees (such as National Park Service employees) while those employees
            were acting within the scope of their federal employment.  Again, the mission
            of our work was to fairly compensate individuals who had medically-

            demonstrated injuries due to the negligence of federal employees, and to
            protect the federal fisc from allowing claims that failed to demonstrate injuries
            due to negligence of federal employees.



            I am Steven Riemer and I served for the Board of Immigration Appeals for
            29 years.  I was an Attorney of this highest administrative appellate body in
            immigration law. I reviewed the appeals of individuals from Immigration

            Judges’ decisions, which ordered them deported from the United States.
            Some appeals were from the Department of Homeland Security appealing
            decisions which allowed the individuals to legally stay in the United States.  I

            wrote proposed decisions, which circulated to the Board member(s).  My
            proposed decisions contained precise legal analysis, and with the American
            public in mind, they were written so that an unrepresented individual could
            understand why we reached a particular decision.



            I am Susan Trunzo and I was an FBI employee for a total of 36 years.  I first

            worked in the Identification Division's Technical Section for 13 years.
            There, as a Fingerprint Examiner, I mostly classified and manually searched
            criminal and applicant fingerprints in the files.  I identified an Identification
            Order Fugitive by manually searching in the criminal files. When computers
