Following the opening remarks by Bob Schulz , Mike Bodine provided an overview of the public information and education plan affectionately known as Project TOTO.

Click here for a copy of the full set of graphics used by Mike Bodine during his presentation on Project TOTO on February 17, 2001 at the Hilton Crystal City in Arlington, Virginia.

Mr. Bodine is a graduate of the University of Iowa with a degree in Management Sciences & Management Information Systems.

He has over two decades experience as a Programmer, Systems Analyst and Project Management consultant. He specializes in the design and implementation of cost & schedule software systems and in the management & business practices of large government projects.

He has worked on a number of multi-year, multi-billion dollar projects headed by organizations such as : Rockwell International, Westinghouse, Fluor Daniel, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

For a number of years, Mr. Bodine held a top-secret, "Q" clearance with the Department of Energy, making him a first-hand witness to the management our nation's leading technology programs.

In 1993, Mr. Bodine became involved in a major whistleblower case involving fraudulent accounting, procurement and progress claims on a major Department of Energy environmental restoration contract for a former nuclear materials processing facility. As a key witness in the case, Mr. Bodine was able to help document a wide array of illegal management practices and outright theft that resulted in the loss of untold millions of taxpayer dollars.

The case was settled out of court just prior to a District Court evidence hearing that would have exposed the illegal alteration of electronic computer files by the Defendant. The settlement amount was the largest in U.S. history of any whistleblower case where the Department of Justice did not intervene on behalf of the Whistleblower.
