DIRECTOR MUELLER APPOINTS THREE NEW ASSISTANT DIRECTORS

Washington, D.C. - FBI Director Robert S. Mueller, III, today announced the appointments of three veteran FBI agents to Assistant Director (AD) positions – Thomas E. Bush III, AD, Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division, Willie T. Hulon, AD Counterterrorism Division, and Louis M. Reigel III, AD Cyber Division.

Director Mueller said, “These three Divisions are integral components of today’s FBI. Preventing terrorist attacks and addressing the evolving problem of cyber crime are top priorities, as is supporting our partners in state, local, tribal, and federal law enforcement. Tom Bush, Willie Hulon, and Louis Reigel are proven leaders who will serve the American people well in their new positions. I look forward to working closely with each of them.”

FBI Director Mueller, whom I really admire (you would too after reading his biography), has put some more people in charge. Here’s the thing: The Counterterrorism Division has already had 5 Assistant Directors since September 11, 2001. Hulon makes number six. My concern is that no one is staying there long enough to make changes if changes are needed. But, congrats to these guys and on behalf of the American people, do a great job.
