National Counterintelligence Executive (2003-2006)
Michelle Van Cleave served as the National Counterintelligence Executive under President George W. Bush. As the head of U.S. counterintelligence, she was responsible for providing strategic direction to and ensuring the integration of counterintelligence activities across the federal government.
She has held senior staff positions in the Congress, including staff director of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Technology, Terrorism and Government Information, Minority Counsel to the House Science, Space and Technology Committee, and professional staff member of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Foreign Operations; and in the White House, where she was Assistant Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy under Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. A lawyer and consultant in private life, she is currently a principal with the Jack Kemp Foundation, helping to establish and manage programs to develop, engage and recognize exceptional leaders, and serves on the board of the Jamestown Foundation.
Watch Michelle on CBS 60 Minutes describe how much our enemies are stealing American secrets.
I am pleased and honored to have the endorsement of such an accomplished national security practitioner and, if elected to Congress, look forward to drawing on Michelle’s wealth of knowledge, experience and wisdom in my oversight capacity.
