Mr. Schiff: Changes. That's what's been going on at the FBI since September 11th, 2001...

AD Swecker: "We've had to prioritize our criminal work in a way that we do not duplicate what state and local officers can do; we enhance what they do whenever we can."

Mr. Schiff: That's Chris Swecker, Assistant Director of the FBI's Criminal Investigative Division. He says, for example, the threshold on White Collar Crime fraud cases was raised...

AD Swecker: "Up around $100,000. We've had to be more selective about the drug cases that we're working around the country; we're still working drugs. We're actively working the dominant drug organizations."

Mr. Schiff: Swecker says the FBI works with the DEA and other agencies...

AD Swecker: "ICE, which is the Immigration and Customs Enforcement; which used to be Immigration and Customs; they've been combined. As well as the Coast Guard and ATF."

Mr. Schiff: Much more to learn about the FBI. Check fbi.gov on the Internet. I'm Neal Schiff and that's what's happening at the "FBI, This Week."
