OPENING REMARKS OF WILLIAM J. FOX DIRECTOR, FINANCIAL CRIMES ENFORCEMENT NETWORK

Hello, I’m Bill Fox. For those of you that do not know me, I am the Director of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN, as we are sometimes better known.
I want to tell you we’re glad to be here and we’re glad you are here to begin our discussion of the new Bank Secrecy Act Examination Manual produced by the Federal Banking Agencies and my agency, FinCEN. Also, we are very happy to be co-sponsoring these events with the Federal banking agencies and I’d like to thank the folks who handled all of the logistics for this event as they have done a superb job.
