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.
