Review of FBI Security Programs (pdf)

Statement
of FBI Director Robert S. Mueller Regarding Webster
Commission Review of FBI Security Programs:
I
want to thank Judge Webster, the Commission and the
dozens of specialists and staff for their independent
and thorough review. I am making this report available
to all FBI employees because it is so instructive on
the importance and urgency with which the FBI must treat
its security.
I am very appreciative of the recognition of the progress
we have made in building an effective, comprehensive
approach to security. I also agree that we have much
more to do but I am confident we are on track to accomplish
what this report envisions. Ultimately, our goal goes
beyond all the new technology, all the new training,
and all the new procedures to make security as much
a part of our culture as any other daily business that
we do.
I appreciate the support Attorney General Ashcroft and
the Congress are giving to our efforts.
In
the end, we must capitalize on this historic opportunity
to make badly needed improvements. The structures created,
the technology and training being put in place, and
the elevation of the program within our priorities help
us accomplish this critical task. And while we can never
completely eliminate the possibility of a trusted person
betraying his country, we can, we must, and we are making
these changes part of our everyday way of doing business
- - part of our culture.
