The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers ( IEEE) is working to marshal the technical expertise of our members to assist in the fight against terrorism. Please contact our director of government relations, Chris Brantley at 202-785-0017 or c.brantley@ieee.org, if we can be of any assistance to you and your staff in this regard.
