From the French "Intelligence" newsletter web http://www.blythe.org/Intelligence;

Intelligence, N. 56, 24 March 1997, p. 21 U.S.A. - "Silent" FinCEN Uses a Bullhorn. After we published several articles concerning the Department of the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) in 1994, there was talk of FinCEN "clamming up", in 1995 following the appointment of Stanley E. Morris as the new director who "doesn't talk in public". Those rumors were poorly informed, as Morris himself proved, in March 1996, with the publication of his article, "From FinCEN's Director" which opened the first issue of "FinCEN Advisory". Seven issues of the "Advisory" have now been published and cover questions such as the Seychelles, fund-transfer record keeping, money laundering typologies developed with the OECD/G-7 Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the "Safe Harbor" provision, Mexico and other questions.
