DOL reorganization, which resulted in a 35 percent reduction in Senior
Executive staff, saving the American public millions of dollars in superfluous
expenditures.
Before being appointed the Inspector General (IG) by the President of the
United States of America, I served as the Acting IG of DOL. I was responsible
for administering provisions of the Inspector General Act of 1978 through an
independent comprehensive program of audits and investigations.
Responsibilities required a thorough knowledge of DOL’s programs and
oversight of its $40 billion budget authority and its 18,000 employees in the
United States, territories, and employees supervising international grants and
contracts. I directly reported to the U.S. Congress, the Office of Management
and Budget, the U.S. Department of Justice and other agencies. I focused on
the efficiency, effectiveness and economy of the U.S. Department of Labor’s
activities to best serve the American public.
Prior to the Inspector General responsibilities, I served from 1991 to 1993, as
the Deputy Inspector General for DOL. I fully participated with the Inspector
General in all responsibilities for providing the Office of IG (OIG) level
policy; overall leadership; and general direction and coordination of all OIG
audits and investigative activities relating to DOL programs and operation.
These programs had an impact on national and international decisions, which
were essential to DOL’s effective management.
I began my federal service as an Assistant National Bank Examiner,
Comptroller of the Currency, at the U.S. Treasury. I examined National Banks
in Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida. I moved on to the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI), where I served for 19 years. From 1987 to 1991, I was the
Chief of the Security Unit in the Information Management Division of the FBI
Headquarters in Washington, D.C. As Chief, I was responsible for the policy
development, direction, management, and supervision of three of the six major
FBI Security Programs and their associated administrative functions related to
approximately 23,000 FBI employees.
Before being appointed Chief, I served as one of three Supervisory Special
Agents, assigned to the Special Inquiry Unit of the Criminal Investigative
Division at the FBI Headquarters. This unit was responsible for directing and
managing the investigative efforts of 200 FBI Agents nationwide, conducting
background investigations on all presidential appointees and White House
