being fully implemented and enforced. Previously, I served as Chief of the
International Division at the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (a
Treasury agency) where I supervised a group of intelligence research
specialists and special agents with international anti-money laundering
expertise in support of federal criminal investigations. My work throughout
my government career helped to make the world a safer place by making it
more difficult for terrorists, drug traffickers, other criminals, and criminal
organizations to finance their illicit activities. We achieved this by improving
tools available for detection and prosecution of criminal activity and by
ensuring that sufficient penalties were in place to sanction illicit financial
activity linked to terrorism, drug trafficking, fraud, and other major crimes.
I am Gary Drago and I served in the Department of the Treasury for 31
years. During the last 16 years of my federal service, I was one of the
senior IBM mainframe systems programmers in the Treasury's Financial
Management Service (FMS), now a part of the Treasury's Fiscal Service
bureau. This Treasury bureau was responsible for making almost a billion
civilian Electronic Funds Transfer and check payments annually such as
Social Security annuities, federal employee salaries, federal retiree annuities,
IRS tax refunds, and vendor payments to federal contractors. My
major responsibilities included defining and maintaining the IBM mainframe
processors' hardware configurations for all FMS Regional Operations
Centers, and overseeing and maintaining the efficient daily operation of the
Service's mainframe data storage capacity via online, nearline, and offline
disk/tape library data storage systems.
One of the last (of many) significant accomplishments of my career service
was the 2008 configuration and installation of a new IBM mainframe
processor at one of the Service's data centers with sufficient capacity to enable
the 2008 economic stimulus payments (rebates) of up to $600 per single filer
and $1,200 per married filing jointly filers to be paid in the short time frame
dictated by the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008.
