Education in 1958 and was commissioned a Second Lieutenant and in 1962

           earned a Ph.D. in Plant Pathology. There were no wars in 1962, but there was
           a draft, so I ended up in Berlin, Germany, where a wall had just been built
           through the middle of the city.  As 2 . Lt., I was in charge of operations at
                                                         nd
           “Checkpoint Charlie,” the crossover point on the wall between East and West
           Berlin.  For the past six years, I have been a volunteer at the National
           Archives, restoring WWI records.

           I am Edward Holland and I retired as a Supervisory Special Agent assigned
           to the National Security Programs Division (NSPD), Office of Export
           Enforcement (OEE), Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), U.S. Department

           of Commerce.  I continue to hold a TS/SCI clearance.  As it pertains to
           NARFE, I am the president of Chapter 1972; the Maryland Federation
           Programs Chair,  Public Relations Chair and the Federal Legislative

           Committee District 7 Representative. Before retiring, I served as the Unit
           Chief, Programs, NSPD.  I reported directly to the Assistant Director of NSPD
           and managed the FBI Chicago Task Force Section, Entity List Submissions,
           Entity List Appeals, Temporary Denial Orders, Investigative FOIA Appeals,

           and security-related special projects.  I served as OEE’s senior liaison to the
           U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia’s Law Enforcement Manager Task
           Force.  Simultaneously, I was the senior enforcement liaison to four State

           Department working groups, dealing in missile, nuclear, and technology
           transfer interdiction efforts.


           Prior to my reassignment to NSPD, I served many years as the BIS Deputy
           Director for Programs at the Export Enforcement Coordination Center,
           Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), U.S. Department of Homeland
           Security (DHS).  At DHS, I was permanently ‘on loan’ from BIS, serving as an

           HSI manager reporting to an HSI executive.  My primary responsibility was to
           manage the deconfliction of investigations between DHS and BIS and the over
           10 interagency law enforcement partners.  Among the various agencies, I was

           responsible for the coordination of investigative leads, licensing, outreach and
           statistical reporting.

           Before the DHS assignment, I was the Assistant Special Agent in Charge
