‘ FBI office to work on projects for any other office. We implemented network. enhancement to ensure that collected intelligence can be transmitted to the appropriate translator on near real-time basis, and we developed work flow management software to track, moniter and account for any collected data and the corresponding translation product. : Language Services Translation Center Shortly after September 11, 2001, we established the Language Services Translation Center (LSTC) at FBI Headquarters to help ensure that translation services are available. whenever and wherever they are needed The LSTC acts as a “command and control” center to coordinate translator assignments, and to ensure that our translator resources * are aligned strategically with operational and intelligence priorities. in addition, the LSTC has an on-site population of 20 FBI translators and 29 contract translators who render - immediate translation assistance to field offices and Legal Attaché offices when required. National Virtual Transiation Center To provide similar capabilities to the larger Intelligence Community, in accordance with Section 907 of the USA PATRIOT Act, the Director of Central Intelligence established the National Virtual Translation Center (NVTC) on February 11, 2003, and designated the FBI as its Executive Agent. Like the FBI’s LSTC, the NVTC serves as a clearinghouse to provide timely and accurate translation of foreign intelligence for Intelligence Community agencies. The NVTC taps into the FBI's pool of contract linguists and matches excess translation capacity with the translation needs of other Intelligence Community agencies. The FBI further supports the NVTC by handling recruiting and applicant processing for NVTC linguists. Although it will not be fully “virtual” until later this spring, the NVTC has already successfully completed translation tasks for CIA, DIA, and the FBI. With its Director from NSA, and its Deputy Directors from CIA and the FBI, the NVTC is truly a Community-wide effart. Special Technologies and Applications Section in November 2002, we created a Special Technologies and Applications Section within the new Cyber Division to support counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and criminal investigations involving computer intrusions and digital or electronic media evidence. The Section provides technical investigative analysis, helping to extract and decrypt volumes of data and making it easily searchable by investigators and intelligence analysts The Section also designs automated tools, acts as a clearinghouse for new technologies developed by other agencies and the private sector, and coordinates with research and development entities inside and outside government. These efforts help ensure that the FBI is prepared to fully exploit digital evidence for its intelligence value and to respond to new computer intrusion-related threats and incidents MISC DOC. #5 18 000000357 5 ene eo ne wrvebiawasein wi See oe os fie sear Noes
