Dear Friend:
We are pleased to share with you that The Hon Stuart A. Levey will present "United States
Foreign Assets Control Policy: The Case of North Korea" at the ICAS Spring Symposium
2006.
Stuart Levey was confirmed by the Senate on July 21, 2004 to serve as the
Department of the Treasury's Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence
(TFI). In the role of Under Secretary, Mr. Levey directs the Treasury's efforts
to cut the lines of financial support to international terrorists, a critical component
of the overall effort to keep America safe from terrorist plots. In addition to
helping fight the financial war on terror, Mr. Levey also focuses on protecting
the integrity of the financial system, fighting financial crime, enforcing economic
sanctions against rogue nations and combating the financial underpinnings of the
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. He also oversees the Treasury Department's
newly-created Office of Intelligence and Analysis, ensuring that actionable intelligence
is available to key decision makers and that the Department is fully integrated
within the broader intelligence community.
At the time of his nomination to his
current post, Mr. Levey was serving as the Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General
at the U.S. Department of Justice. In that capacity, he was the Deputy Attorney
General's primary staff member with responsibility for coordinating the Justice
Department's varied counterterrorism activities, including investigations, intelligence
collection and prosecutions. He also served as the Justice Department's representative
to the interagency Terrorist Financing Policy Coordinating Committee (PCC) and to
the NSC's Counterterrorism Security Group, a senior interagency group chaired by
the Deputy National Security Advisor for Combating Terrorism. In addition, he was
often called upon to represent the Department of Justice in a variety of inter-agency
bodies to discuss topics related to the war on terrorism. Prior to assuming that
position, he served as an Associate Deputy Attorney General and also as the Deputy
Attorney General's Chief of Staff.
Prior to joining the Justice Department in
2001, Mr. Levey spent 11 years in private practice at the Washington law firm Miller,
Cassidy, Larroca & Lewin LLP (which merged into Baker Botts, LLP). He had a litigation
practice with a special emphasis on white collar criminal defense. From 1999 through
2000, Mr. Levey served as the chief of the Washington office of former Senator Danforth's
Special Counsel investigation into possible government misconduct related to the
standoff at the Branch Davidian compound near Waco, Texas. He also clerked for Judge
Laurence Silberman on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit from 1989 through
1990. Mr. Levey graduated from Harvard College, summa cum laude, in 1986 and from
Harvard Law School, magna cum laude, in 1989.
